WWE News: Final Betting Odds For Tonight’s Money In The Bank

The Chairshot was sent along the following by BetWrestling.com, offering up the final betting odds for tonight’s Money In The Bank pay-per-view:

The Money in the Bank betting lines have settled since originally introduced last week and there are new projections for key matches. Alexa Bliss is now the favorite to win the Women’s MitB briefcase and remember Natalya was previously most favored to win that match, so this could be an internal leak. In the Men’s MitB, The Miz is still the participant with the best odds to win and is now an outright favorite.

The WWE Championship match was originally an even bet on either AJ Styles or challenger Shinsuke Nakamura. Those odds quickly moved in favor on Nakamura and have remained that way all week. Because this will be a Last Man Standing Match, a count out or DQ is not possible. This is a projected title change.

The Smackdown Women’s Championship match has a suspect discrepancy between the odds for initial and end of broadcast rulings. While Carmella is now favored to successfully defend against Asuka, there could be a dusty finish with Asuka getting the initial win according to the odds. There is also reason to believe the match will be restarted at some point in the Daniel Brian vs Big Cass return match. Another note on that match is that Cass is now favored to win instead of Bryan.

Ronda Rousey is still favored to defeat Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax, however Ronda’s odds have not moves much and actually has been moving in the opposite direction. Roman Reigns, The Bludgeon Brothers, Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley were favored since the first round odds came out and have remained the favorites the entire time.

The odds below are all “end of broadcast” ruling unless otherwise noted. A minus sign indicates the favorites, while a plus sign represents the underdogs. The higher the number after the plus or minus tells us how favorable or unfavorable that wrestler(s) is/are.

WWE Championship – Last Man Standing
AJ Styles(c) +140 vs Shinsuke Nakamura -180

WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Nia Jax(c) +370 vs Ronda Rousey -560

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
