The betting odds for WWE Clash of Champions project only one possible title change tonight. This lone potential title switch is out of nine total championship matches. The primary feature for the card is that the Raw Tag Team Champions are both defending those titles and also facing each other for the Universal Championship tonight as well. The Raw Tag Champs, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman are the aforementioned title match that the odds do not favor a successful title defense. Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode, their challengers, are favored to defeat them(remember that titles cannot change hands on a DQ or count). As for The Universal Championship match, the defending champion Seth Rollins is favored to successfully defend when he faces his partner Braun Strowman.
In the only match not involving a
championships, as neither competitor is a current champion, Roman
reigns is predicted to defeat Erick Rowan in a grudge match stemming
from Rowan attempting murder on Roman Reigns on several occasions

The following odds are sourced from William Hill, however only for their UK based sportsbook rather than their newer operations in New Jersey and Las Vegas in the United States.
The oddsmakers have set the betting
odds for tonight’s King of the Ring on WWE Raw. It is rare that odds
are set for WWE cable broadcasts, usually due to match cards not
being announced until the show itself. The have been limited
instances of Raw or Smackdown odds and this would be one of them.
Instead of the individual matches that have been announced having
lines, the eventual winner of the entire tournament is what can be
wagered on.
Traditionally, this tournament is won
by a heel, so it is no surprise that the best odds are currently held
by Drew McIntyre. The second most likely to win according to the odds
is Baron Corbin, another heel. No participant is listed as a
“favorite” however. This is because with sixteen participants the
chances of any one specific performer being a lock is unlikely. We
see this often with multi-person matches, especially the Royal Rumble
and Battle Royal Matches.
These odds are courtesy of 5Dimes, a sports book accepting customers worldwide.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada will be hosting the 32nd installment of Summerslam at the Scotiabank Arena and will be broadcast live on the WWE Network. 10 announced matches currently have betting odds with 6 being championship matches. All champions are favored to retain, however with Summerslam being one of the WWE’s top annual events title changes can be expected so upsets are extremely likely.
Brock Lesnar recently regained the WWE Universal Championship after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase as a surprise entrant and subsequently dethroning Seth Rollins, who will be Brock’s challenger tonight. Lesnar is of course the favorite and betting against him is not a best practice when looking at the historical data of Brock winning even as a sports book underdog.
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has been on a hot streak since his historical title win at this year’s Wrestlemania and is favored tonight defending against Randy Orton. Every few years, Orton is “due” for a title reign but with these odds being very close, betting on Orton does not pass the “risk vs reward” barometer even with an upset being a fair possibility.
In a submission match, Becky Lynch defends the WWE Raw Women’s Championship against Natalya. Both women have very established submission finishers and Lynch is a heavy favorite. Natalya is often used as “utility talent” that can have a PPV quality match with any opponent and betting on the challenger as a huge underdog is tempting but not recommended, especially with no possibility of a DQ or count out win due to the submission stipulation.
WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bayley is favored in her defense against Ember Moon, but not by much and this match has potential to be excellent from an in ring standpoint, however the result could go either way. Another match that will deliver in ring is AJ Styles defending the United States Championship against Ricochet. The two have had some great athletic performances against each other recently and like the Raw Women’s Championship match, the odds are close and the result is up in the air. Drew Gulak will defend his well earned Cruiserweight Championship against Oney Lorcan with the champion being a big favorite.
Two legendary Hall of Famers will return to take on today’s crop of talent, however only one is favored to win. A returning Goldberg is projected to defeat Dolph Ziggler by a wide margin. With Goldberg losing his last two matches against both Brock Lesnar and more recently The Undertaker, coupled with Ziggler’s relatively low position on the roster, Goldberg being a heavy favorite is totally justified. The other Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, is a huge underdog against Charlotte Flair. This is sensible with Charlotte still being positioned as the centerpiece of the entire women’s division.
We will also witness the debut of “The Fiend”, which is Bray Wyatt’s new gimmick that has been built up for months and the wait is over to finally see him wrestle a match, with his opponent being Finn Balor. Wyatt’s odds are extremely high in favor of winning, the highest by far of anyone else competing on the card. With the aforementioned months of build, the debut of The Fiend being a victory is a virtual lock.
Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens has the stipulation of upon losing KO must quit. While Owens is favored heavily, the stipulation could be a red herring that he will end up losing to start a story arch going forward, so an upset is most likely.
These betting odds are all under the “end of broadcast” judgment, meaning that the final announced result during the broadcast will be honored to account for a potential “Dusty Finish”. For those unaware, a minus sign indicates the favorite and the plus sign represents the underdog, with the corresponding number measuring how favorable or unfavorable a particular participant happens to be.

The
main event in the first Wrestlemania to have the distinction of being
headlined by females has seen Becky Lynch favored all along and that
has never changed. The two champions defending their respective
championships in this match have both been listed as underdogs
throughout, with Ronda Rousey’s odds always being much better than
the dark horse, Charlotte Flair.
The
Universal Championship match is currently in a dead heat. Early on
the challenger Seth Rollins was slightly favored and at one point
champion Brock Lesnar overtook Seth as the favorite. As of press time
the odds are very close, with Rollins favored by an insignificant
margin, although the odds have been fluctuating rapidly.
KofiMania
is in full effect and Kingston is respectably favored to defeat WWE
Champion Daniel Bryan. The return of Finn Balor’s “demon” persona
revealed to be happening has made him an enormous favorite to best
Bobby Lashley in his challenge for Lashley’s Intercontinental
championship. Rey Mysterio, on the the other hand, has underdog odds
in challenging Samoa Joe for the United States championship.
Three
tag team championships are being defended at Wrestlemania. The
inaugural Women’s tag team champions, The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection are
favored to retain those titles in a Fatal Fourway with the IIconics
having the best odds outside of the champions, The Divas of Doom
having longshot odds to become the champions and the team of Nia Jax
and Tamina falling somewhere in the middle. Another Fatal Fourway,
this time for the Smackdown tag team titles see The Usos favored to
retain the titles againt the three other teams challenging them. The
Raw tag champs, The Revival are underdogs defending against Zack
Ryder and Curt Hawkins.
Buddy Murphy’s dominance of the cruiserweight division is projected to continue as Murphy is favored to retain that weight division’s championship against challenger Tony Nese. In other featured matches Triple H is favored in a career threatening match against Batista while Roman Reigns has great odds in a grudge match as Reigns faces Drew McIntrye. Kurt Angle is favored to win his farewell match against Angle’s hand picked opponent Baron Corbin and AJ Styles is also favored to defeat Randy Orton, however those odds are very close at the moment.
Braun
Strowman has really great odds to win The Andre the Giant Memorial
Battle Royal, to the point where Strowman has a 50% chance of winning
against numerous other entrants. Kevin Owens has seen his odds of
winning the royal increase dramatically and is the second most likley
to win after Braun. Mustafa actually has the next best odds,which is
surprising.
Looking
at the Wrestlemania Women’s Battle Royal, Lacey Evans is the clear
favorite and it isno secret WWE has huge plans for Lacey, with this
potential win being the payoff to how she has been featured with her
spontaneous “catwalks” during matches. Asuka has the next best
odds of winning the Women’s Royal, which may quell fans upset with
her recent booking and overall spot of this card. Carmella would be
the next most likely to win this match.
As
always, these odds are subject to change from up to the point the
bell rings for each individual match. For those unfamiliar will
diciphering these betting odds, a minus sign indicates the favorite,
while a minus sign designated the underdog. The size of the number
next to the plus of minus tells us eactly how much of a favorite or
underdog particular wrestler(s) are in a given match.

The current betting odds for Wrestlemania have a healthy amount of time to change and have even been moving slightly already. These are worth paying attention to and nothing about these odds suggest any type of internal leaks within the WWE, but instead sensible projections in the shadow of somewhat unpredictable outcomes.
For the first time ever in the history of betting odds, Ronda Rousey is listed as an underdog going into Wrestlemania. Becky Lynch is the favorite in her challenge for the Raw Women’s Championship leaving Charlotte Flair as a longshot bet. We are also seeing Seth Rollins projected to slay Brock Lesnar, which is unusual for Lesnar, who is usually favored. Other championship matches forecast successful retentions with United States Champion Samoa Joe favored to fend off challenger Rey Mysterio and Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy predicted to continue to dominate the division by beating Tony Neese.
Triple H has highly favorable odds in a high profile “No Holds Barred” match against the returning Batista. After a slowly built tag team break up, The Miz is favored to defeat his former tag team partner Shane McMahon. Braun Strowman has the best odds of winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal with Curt Hawkins, Rey Mysterio and Velveteen Dream having considerably good odds.
Also according to the betting odds, Randy Orton is besting AJ Styles. While Kurt Angle is favored to defeat his opponent Baron Corbin, the match itself is expected to be changed with a new opponent for Angle.

Brock Lesnar(c) +177 vs Seth Rollins -250
Raw Women’s Championship – Triple Threat
Ronda Rousey(c) +320 vs Becky Lynch -280 vs Charlotte +650
The odds makers for WWE Fastlane were able to accurately project 100% of the eventual winners. 8 out of 8 favorites proved the odds right including all defending champions. It is unknown if this “clean sweep” by the sportsbooks is the result of an internal leak within the WWE, however the odds never became suspiciously lopsided. Will be interesting to see if this accuracy continues through Wrestlemania. Read the full results below.
WWE Fastlane | March 10, 2019 | Cleveland, OH | Quicken Loans Arena
Big E and Xavier defeated Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura
Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Usos defeated Shane McMahon and The Miz
Smackdown Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Mandy Rose
Sheamus and Cesaro defeated Kofi in a Handicap match
WWE Tag Team Champions The Revival defeated Aleister Black/Ricochet and Chad Gable/Bobby Roode in a Triple Triple Threat Match
United States Champion Samoa Joe defeated R Truth, Rey Mysterio and Andrade in a Fate Fourway

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan defeated Kevin Owens and Mustafa in a Triple Threat Match
The Shield defeated Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley

We are near bell time for WWE Fastlane, and while there haven’t been any dramatic changes with the betting odds, there is one fluctuation that is especially worth mentioning. The favorites have remained favorites, however one ,and only one, of these projected winners has seen their odds actually decrease. Becky Lynch’s odds have dropped against Charlotte even though it can reasonably be considered a foregone conclusion that Becky would get the win to be re-added to the Wrestlemania main event. Creatively, there would still be ways to get Becky to Mania after losing tonight, and an upset here would answer the question of why Lynch’s odds have been the only to drop.
The rest of the odds have seen an increase for The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection and Asuka, while the odds have remained unchanged for Daniel Bryan, The Usos, The Shield and the Revival, and this is a phenomenon we rarely see happen, particularly for higher profile matches.
Recent trends have seen multiple upsets are a regular basis, as opposed to years ago when leaks were prevalent, leading to very heavy odds with nearly 100% accuracy to the point of them being considered spoilers. Those days are long gone.

The current betting odds for this Sunday’s Fastlane event are predicting that none of the five championships being defended will change hands. With all champions favored to successfully defend, significantly in almost all cases, we can expect established champions going into Wrestlemania next month.
Becky Lynch is heavily favored against Charlotte Flair, without question due to the stipulation of this match being Lynch’s last chance to be added back into the Wrestlemania main event with Flair and Ronda Rousey.
The Shield, in what is being touted as their final reunion, is healthily favored to topple Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. Elsewhere on the card, Andrade is projected to overcome Rey Mysterio.
Below is a list of the full odds. Minus signs indicate the favorite and plus signs represent the underdog. The corresponding numbers measure how favored or unfavored that particular wrestler(s) happen to be.

With Elimination Chamber on the WWE Network a few hours away, the betting odds have settled and are not expected to change significantly based on historical trends, although the odds remain available even during the event, usually until right before the individual matches themselves have started.
These odds suggest that all current champions will retain their titles, including Daniel Bryan being favored at -570 to hold onto the WWE Championship against 5 challengers in the chamber and Smackdown Tag Team Champions, Shane McMahon & The Miz being able to overcome The Usos. The handicap match sees Bobby Lashley defending the Intercontinental Championship successfully with partner and manager Lio Rush as both wrestle Finn Balor. The odds are close with Lashley and Rush favored at -140 for the final ruling, earlier in the week Balor was a slight favorite so these odds have flipped. Buddy Murphy has strong odds defending the Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa.
Something interesting is going on with the Raw Women’s Championship concerning the “initial ruling” and “end of broadcast ruling” variance. Ronda Rousey is favored to successfully retain against Ruby Riott in both sets of odds, however the difference of -4500 for the initial result compared to -2000 line for the final result is definitely worth noting. Also of interest, Rousey’s Wrestlemania opponent, Charlotte will be at ringside for this match, so a “Dusty Finish” could be in the works.
Bayley and Sasha Banks are favored to win the first ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship inside the chamber with 5 other teams with Nia Jax and Tamina being the next most likely to win, followed by The Riott Squad, all teams from Raw. The 3 Smackdown teams are the least likely to become the champions with Naomi & Carmella having the worst odds. In a No DQ match, Braun Strowman is favored to defeat Baron Corbin.

Betting Odds are now available in the Global Market for This Sunday’s WWE TLC on the WWE Network. As usual, Ronda Rousey has the best projection of winning compared to anyone else on the card with odds of -750 to successfully retain the Raw Women’s Championship. Another heavily favored performer is Drew McIntyre with odds of -475 of defeating Finn Balor.
While Daniel Bryan is favored to successfully retain the WWE Championship against former champion AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose is a -160 favorite to attain victory against Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, although a DQ or Count Out would still prevent that title from changing hands.
With multi-person matches, including Triple Threat Matches, all participants often have “underdog odds” due to the added competitor(s) decreasing the probability of all involved, although some are more favored than others. This is the case in two title matches on the PPV, with Asuka having the most favorable odds at +120 against Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Smackdown Tag Team Champions The Bar(Sheamus and Cesaro) have the best odds of all three teams at +110 defending against The New Day and The Usos.
In a TLC Match, Braun Strowman has convincing odds of -320 to overcome Baron Corbin, while Bobby Lashley is a -155 favorite to beat Elias. All matches are graded by “Final Decision”/”End of Broadcast” grading to account for a match being restarted via “Dusty Finish”. All with a minus signs are the favorites and plus signs are underdogs. These odds will change leading up to and even during to the event, may flip altogether and can be followed in real time.
