Nobody’s Ready for My Closeup Favored to Win the WWE MMC
Grosvenor Casinos have added betting odds for the Mixed Match Challenge on Facebook, starting with the upcoming quarter-finals and also which team will end up winning the whole tournament. The teams of Asuka & The Miz, Alexa Bliss & Braun Strowman and Charlotte Flair & Bobby Roode are all favored to win their second round matches. Strangely enough, both sets of married couples(Naomi & Jimmy Uso and Lana & Rusev) competing in this tournament are currently the underdogs to get past the second round. Sasha Banks and Finn Balor are also underdogs for their second round outing.
As for who will win the entire Mixed Match Challenge, Asuka & The Miz are favored at -150 to do so and this is presumably to keep Asuka undefeated going into Wrestlemania. The rest of the odds are listed below. Every team however, even those who couldn’t make it past the first round, have odds to win the tournament. This is because the semi-finals include a “2nd chance” for the teams that lost and this will be voted on by the fans.
There has been some criticism about having teams compete for charity in matches that are believed to be predetermined, however the fan voting aspect suggests that the team that gets the highest votes will win. If this ends up being the case, it will still mean a loss for Asuka at one point unless the WWE get really creative with the booking somehow.
There are also odds as to which brand the winning team will hail from. With the top two possibilities according to the odds being from Raw, the -590 favorable odds for that brand are unsurprising.
