The Road to WrestleMania will finally reach its destination when WrestleMania 34 kicks off on Sunday from New Orleans. The absolutely loaded card is sure to provide its fair share of title changes, not-so-shocking returns (looking at you Undertaker) and everything else that goes into the madness of the wrestling holiday.
The fine people at Sports Betting Experts threw together their best odds of everything that will go down on Sunday, from the Kickoff show to the anticipated main event. And they’re predicting that a lot of titles will be changing hands. You yourself are already probably (figuratively) betting the farm on at least one of them.
Asuka (-350) is the favorite to upend Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women’s title, while Nia Jax (-250) is expected to beat the Raw Women’s champion Alexa Bliss. The two main men’s titles are also favorites to change hands, with Shinsuke Nakamura (-180) defeating AJ Styles and Roman Reigns (-350) beating Brock Lesnar.
As for the fun stuff, the Sports Betting Experts don’t see Conor McGregor stepping inside the squared circle (-210). They also have odds assuming The Undertaker (-250) will return to beat the snot out of John Cena after months of relentless trash talk from the former doctor of Thuganomics.
The possibilities listed for the final match at this year’s ‘Mania are quite the doozy as well, with Young Bucks vs. The New Day standing as the biggest longshot of available odds (+15000). (If you feel like putting money on that one, that raises a whole different set of concerns, of course.) Reigns-Lesnar is the favorite to go on last (-175).
There’s plenty more as we count down the days to WWE’s yearly extravaganza, including questions about Kane replacing Shane McMahon in Daniel Bryan’s tag match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, and some too-close-to-call title matches, like the United States Championship match, where there is no clear favorite.
The only match missing is Braun Strowman’s tag match with Brains Strowman against Sheamus and Cesaro for the Raw tag titles, my personal favorite showdown on the card. Looks like the sportsbooks have a clear anti-Strowman bias.
