Thoughts:
– Brock Lesnar wouldn’t be a bad bet to take. The Roman Reigns win seems like an inevitability, so much so that every bit of “Brock Lesnar’s not leaving WWE” news gets huge public coverage to try to offset it, but there’s a chance something screwy will go down.
– Damien Mizdow is the favorite to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? I’d put my money on Sheamus because he’s returning as a babyface and the kind of name they’d want on the trophy under Cesaro. Can you imagine seeing DAMIEN MIZDOW there 10 years from now? You’d have to explain to people what a “Mizdow” is.
– Somebody’s betting on Konnor.
– Fandango has a way better shot at winning the battle royal than Goldust? Oof, that’s sad. I want WWE to shock the world and give the win to, like, Viktor. That’ll show those a-holes betting on Konnor!
– Choosing to bet against John Cena should result in your bookie being granted direct access to your life savings and you being disqualified from ever betting again.
– I think the smartest bets on the board are for The Bella Twins and The Usos. They’re not locks, but they seem like obvious choices. The Bellas will get a showcase win at WrestleMania one of these days, and The Usos winning would give WWE that “all the Samoans have belts and are hugging” confetti ending to Mania they might want.
