WWE has finally announced the Intercontinental Championship match for Wrestlemania on the WWE Network. Defending Champion Dean Ambrose will face challenger Baron Corbin. These two have developed a healthy rivalry as of late and according to Irish sports book Paddy Power has the odds on Baron Corbin to win the match. This would include a DQ or count out win in which the title itself wouldn’t change hands. Corbin is favored at 1/6 to win, an 85% chance, so it would take a $6 bet to win only $1. Ambrose is the underdog at 7/2.

Odds on John Cena Proposing to Nikki Bella

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power by clicking here

Rumors of John Cena proposing to longtime girlfriend Nikki Bella at Wrestlemania in Orlando are so strong Paddy Power has posted odds on the possibility. Cena proposing is actually heavily favored at 2/9, which gives it an 82% chance of happening according to these odds. This means a $9 bet would yield only $2 with the proposal being very backed at this time.

These odds can be followed at Paddy Power by looking at the A-Z Menu and selecting “sports novelties”. Cena not proposing is currently sitting at 11/4 so a $4 bet would win $11. These long odds are likely driven by a number of moving parts.

For years on Total Divas and even the recent spin-off “Total Bellas”, an ongoing element is Nikki Bella want to be married and having children. Cena has been mostly against this and has made this very clear, even going to measures involving the signing of a legal document when Nikki moved in with him.

Even with these reality shows prominently featuring the romantic relationship between John and Nikki, it was not acknowledged on WWE programming like Raw and Smackdown until very recently. After the brand split, Cena and Bella both ended up on Smackdown together. Several of Nikki’s opponents used her relationship with John as material for trash talking. This eventually led to a Wrestlemania Mixed Tag Team Match with John and Nikki facing of another real life couple in The Miz and Maryse. Cena and Nikki are currently favored at 4/11 to win this match.

This is also thought to be Nikki Bella’s retirement match and it is known that John Cena will be taking more time off after Wrestlemania. A proposal for marriage would be a Wrestlemania moment that will be remembered as one of the most monumental, especially if it;s between two top box office draws.

Seth Rollins KingSlayer T-Shirt

Last Monday on WWE RAW, Seth Rollins made his return to save Mick Foley from a beatdown from Triple H, and he didn’t come alone. Rollins debuted a brand new T-Shirt avaiable at WWe Shop and this shirt is a direct message to Triple H, the man Seth has his sights on and an axe to grind with at Wrestlemania. The “King Slayer” theme of this new shirt is an obvious and deliberate warning to Triple H, who considers himself “The King of Kings”.

Rollins has quite a history with Triple H. It starts with Seth being a project of Triple H in NXT and leads to them feuding while part of rival factions in The Shield and The Authority. Rollins would betray his brothers in the Shield to endear himself to Triple H and join The Authority. Triple H would down the line turn on Rollins by interfering in a match and costing Seth the Universal Championship. Now Seth wants retribution and he can be supported by buying this 100% cotton, classic fit T-Shirt.

Wrestlemania 33 Betting Odds, Who is Favored to Win?

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power by clicking here

The European market has released odds for most of the matches for this year’s Wrestlemania in Orlando. These lines can be used to determine early projections for who will be victorious at the “Show of Shows”. A quick and easy explanation if you are unaware of how to interpret these lines is that a bet on the number to the right of the forward slash would win the number on the left. If the number on the left is larger than that of the right, this indicates the underdog and vice versa for the favorite. For example Universal Champion Goldberg is an underdog at 6/1 currently so a successful $1 would win $6. Brock Lesnar, who is challenging Goldberg, is a favorite at 1/16 with a $16 bet winning only $1. that’s how favored Brock is right now. This could change.

The current projected winners for Mania are the aforementioned Lesnar, Randy Orton, Bayley, Kevin Owens, Gallows & Anderson, Roman Reigns, John Cena & Nikki Bella, AJ Styles and Seth Rollins. The Cruiserweight Championship have both Neville and Austin Aries is in a dead heat with both at 6/5 and this will settle in one direction or the other soon enough. The Andre the Giant Battle Royal have had lines available for a while and Braun Strowman has been favored all along to win it. No odds are available for The Smackdown Women’s Championship as of press time.

Once again these are the European odds and American odds will be available as we get closer to the event. For updates on when this happens please subscribe for updates.

WWE Fastlane Results

The last PPV  on the WWE Network before Wrestlemania, and here are the results:

Preshow Match: Swann and Towzowa win, Only caught the end of this match, and sad I missed it.

Sami Zayn vs Samoa Joe – Joe went for Sami as soon as he got into the ring. Joe kicks at Sami over and over, showing he is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Zayn tried a shoulder tackle, but it all goes wrong from there. Surprisingly Zayn is holding in there despite the beating he is taking.  Samoa Joe seems more brutal than ever. Zayn tries hard for a comeback, even gets Joe off his feet. But he stupidly attempts to go to the top rope, though he fights Joe off, but Joe still avoids his tomfoolery and gets a atomic drop to a 2 count. Joe gets another 2 count pinfall and there is some more back and forth in the match. Zayn gaining control again tried a sunset flip off the top, but it didnt work out, and Joe once again gains control and gets Zayn into submission. Samoa Joe by Submission.

Big Cass and Enzo Amore Vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (C) for the Raw Tag Team titles – Enzo comes out and cuts a larger than life promo as usual. I love these guys. Big Cass really took to to Anderson, Too distracted to write about this match, but its a lot of great back and forth. Enzo alost has a pin but it is broken up, and in the ensuing chaos, Gallows and Anderson retain the belts.

Nia Jax Vs Sasha Banks – Nia Jax is absolutely dominating this match as I thought would happen in my predictions. Every time Sasha seems like she may have a chance, she gets torn back down, or stopped in her tracks. Sasha attempts high flying moves, submissions, and everything in her arsenal but nothing seems to work against Nia. When all seemed bleak Sasha Banks managed to roll Nia Jax into a small package for the win. Wow. What a match!!!

Cesaro Vs Jinder Mahal- This match up is pretty evenly matched. I probably won’t write much, as I rather watch it to be honest. IMO both of these guys are under appreciated, dominating forces in the WWE. Its great to see such big guys who move like they do. Cesaro picks up the win, and Jinder Mahal gets beat up at the hands of Rusev.

The Big Show comes to the ring, the bell rings, and we are now watching him tear Rusev apart. Rusev is usually pretty tough but TBS is making easy work of him. Rusev still has a bit of fight in him. Rusev almost gets a submission but TBS gets out, and wrecks him with a huge side slam. Rusev goes to the outside, but TBS drags him back by his hair, Rusev gets over for a second, but it doesnt last long. Rusev takes over by taking the big man down at the knees. Rusev gains the advantage and it looks bad for TBS but TBS comes back, and destroys Rusev, punches him out, and picks up the win.

Gentleman Jack Gallagher Vs Neville (C) for the Crusierweight Championship – Neville is pissed like a minute into the match, as Gallagher is pulling his goofy shit. Again too distracted by the actual match to give a play by play, but this has been extremely fast paced, and entertaining. I really dig watching both these guys work. Neville’s finisher is SIIIIIIIIIICK! He retains his belt. This was MOTN so far in my opinion.

Paul Heyman comes out and promotes Brock Lesner… That’s the sound of no one caring…

Its The New Day! And they have a bicycle powered ice cream cart, with a huge umbrella. New Day Pops! I wonder if they will be for sale at Mania?

Roman Reigns Vs Braun Strowman – Holy hell Strowman is powerful. This match is reminiscent of the women’s match earlier, as Reigns is getting no love, and gaining no traction. I thought these guys may break an announce table, but now I feel like they may just destroy the ring. These guys both move incredibly well for their size. It looks bad for Reigns, Strowman has worn him down. And Strowman goes the Spanish announce table…  but Reigns cuts him off. they are back in the ring, and shocking Reigns is still on his feet and in control. Strowman tried for a choke slam but Reigns cuts him off and gives him a back drop. Reigns goes for the superman punch, is cut off and cut down. Both men back to the outside, and Reigns end up through the table! What do I win? lol Strowman throws Reigns back into the ring, but Reigns gets the spear on him. Strowman kicks out. Reigns gets two Superman punches in but than gets cut off again. Somehow Strowman gets on the top rope but it doesn’t end well for him, and Reigns takes the opportunity to pick up the victory.

Charlotte Flair Vs Bayley(c) for the Raw Women’s Championship- Both women look ready to fight. This match is back and forth with ferocity, but no matter how she tries, Charlotte cannot gain the upper hand, Bayley is fighting her move for move. Watching this match makes me incredibly happy for where we are right now in women’s wrestling. (in fact overall the women’s division has become really fun to watch). Charlotte escapes to the outside, much like her father would, and Bayley takes the bait and follows. She gets cut off and Charlotte tosses her back in the ring to put the boot to her. No matter how Bayley tries to counter, Charlotte has gained control of the match and isn’t giving in easily. Charlotte is straight up punishing Bayley, with submission holds, and the simple fact that she can easily overpower her. Bayley isn’t giving up easily. Charlotte is running her through the ringer. Poor Bayley. She isn’t having a very easy time holding onto her belt. She better dig deep and find that heart that loves wresting so much that she would take this abuse. Bayley gets a second wind, and manages to turn things in her favor. She gets a 2 count on Charlotte. Bayley tries to set Charlotte up in the corner, but Charlotte is still too with it to go down without a fight. Bayley goes to the top, but Charlotte takes her down. Its back and forth, Charlotte climbs to the top, Bayley flips her off the top, but only gets a two count. Charlotte cuts her off again.  Charlotte begins talking to herself in the ring, and almost gets rolled up. She fights Bayley off again, sending Bayley to the outside. Charlotte goes to the top, but Sasha Banks runs out and rips her off the corner, and gives her a few good punches. Bayley gets a few more moves in on Charlotte, and it ends with a suplex, and Bayley retains her championship. With the interference will she get her title stripped like Naomi did? Seriously…

Kevin Owens (c) Vs Goldberg -Does anyone really care? I don’t, but Ill write the result when the match is done…Huge Shock Goldbeg Wins!

Wrestlemania Favorites To Leave as Champion, How Many Titles Change Hands, Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

The Irish sportbook Paddy Power has had odds on who will walk out of Wrestlemania with the WWE Heavyweight and Universal Championships for over a month and there has been no major changes in Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar leaving with those titles respectively.

Odds are now also being offered on the Intercontinental, United States, both the RAW and Smackdown Women’s Championships as well as how many title changes there will be at Mania. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal also has odds.

Right now Bayley and Naomi, the current champions, are according to these odds expected to still be champions after the Wrestlemania is in the books. Also, Kevin Owens is favored to win the United States Championship, currently held by the man he turned on, Chris Jericho in a much anticipated and thoroughly built up match.

Baron Corbin is favored to be Intercontinental Champion, a title currently held by Dean Ambrose. Corbin has never held a title in the WWE, including during his dominant run in NXT. Braun Strowman is favored to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal this year, which seems perfectly reasonable considering Braun has been moving up in star power more than anyone else and yet has no planned Mania match to speak of.

How many title changes will there be at Wrestlemania? Even bets are being taken at 6-7 and this seems like a high number with only 9 titles for the main roster and no confirmation on if all of them will even be defended.

When Will Shinsuke Nakamura Make His Main Roster Debut?

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

Shinsuke Nakamura has been absolutely tearing it up in NXT since his debut at NXT Takeover Dallas last year where he easily defeated Sami Zayn. From there he was able to beat everyone he stepped into the ring with, silencing the critics that felt he couldn’t make the transition from the Japanese Indies to NXT. The only defeat yet to be avenged in his recent loss to Bobby Roode which ended his second reign as NXT Champion.

Many feel it’s long overdue for Nakamura to move up to the main roster on Raw or Smackdown, however he was not drafted last year during the brand extension. With no NXT Championship around his waist to defend, the time is ripe and there are odds on exactly when he will appear. The most likely time will be sometime in April with odds of 1/2 and this month coincides with Wrestlemania. Even is Shinsuke does not appear at Mania, it is very likely he will show up on the main roster shortly thereafter.

Here are the odds for when exactly we’ll see Shinsuke make his main roster debut.

February 2017 6/1

March 2017 3/1

April 2017 1/2

Hulk Hogan Favored To Get in the Ring at Wrestlemania, Rey Mysterio and Kenny Omega Odds

The following European Market odds are from Paddy Power. Wagers are not available from all countries. Visit Paddy Power [clink id=”14″]by clicking here[/clink].

The Hulkster Could Return in Dramatic Fashion

Whispers of a WWE return for none other than Hulk Hogan are running wild. So much to the point that Irish sports book Paddy Power is now offering favorable odds on the Hulkster making an in ring appearance at Wrestlemania is Orlando this year. Hogan has been away from the WWE since 2015, but the company has been making frequent references to Hulk and many are perceiving the mentions as the foreshadowing of a huge return. Odds of 1/3 have been posted on if Hogan steps into the ring at Mania meaning a $3 bet would win $1 because the idea is so favorable.

This wager is only one option for the “in ring appearance” prop bet and Hulk has the only favorable odds for anyone not currently under contact. Both Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have excellent odds at 1/10 which is puzzling due to Rollins currently being injured. There are high hopes Seth will be healthy by Wrestlemania, but these odds seem out of place given the circumstances.

Ronda Rousey’s odds are unfavorable at 3/1 as are Conor McGregor’s at 5/1. Former WWE mainstay Rey Mysterio actually has odds of 8/1 and he hasn’t been with the company in almost 2 years. Kenny Omega has odds of 10/1, about 10%, which seems high beings that he’s expected to re-sign with NJPW at any moment.

Donald Trump WWE Royal Rumble

Donald Trump’s Odds of Winning WWE Royal Rumble

Artwork Credit – Pauly Popolizio of iwanttodrawyourface.com

Believe it or not United States President Donald J Trump has odds for this Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble. 30 men compete in an over the top rope rumble and the winner gets a championship title shot at Wrestlemania 33. Trump has odds of 1000/1 to win the match and he’s not even scheduled to be in attendance. To put this in perspective a $1 bet could win $1000. Former President Barack Obama has the same odds. The same sports book is offering odds on Donald Trump being given honorary knighthood by the United Kingdom. These can be found under the novelties section of the sports book Paddy Power and can be visited by [clink id=”14″]clicking here[/clink]. This is an Irish sportbook and does not take wagers from the United States and Canada but does in many other nations.

[huge_it_forms id=”1″]
This wouldn’t the President’s first time getting involved with the WWE however, Donald hosted Wrestlemania IV and V at Trump Plaza. Trump would also be the top attraction for Wrestlemania 23 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” and defeated WWE Owner Vince McMahon. The two Billionaires recruited a WWE Superstar to do battle for them by proxy in the squared circle in front of a sellout audience of 80,103, the largest crows ever at Ford Field in Detroit. McMahon chose Umaga, a 6’4″, 350 pound Samoan-American. Trump answered by selecting Bobby Lashley, a 6’3″ 278 pound 3-time Intercollegiate NAIA champion powerhouse. Both Vince and Donald agreed to put their hair on the line in this match. All of these moments can been seen by signing up for free to the WWE Network [clink id=”2″]by clicking here[/clink].

 

During the match itself, The Donald would end up clotheslining Vince on the floor outside the ring. Ultimately, Trump would be victorious when Lashley pinned Umaga in the middle of the ring. Afterwards, Lashley, Trump and special guest referee “Stone Cold” Steve Austin made good on the stipulation and shaved Mr. McMahon’s head in the ring.

Then there was an in ring celebration led by Austin passing out beers, which Trump accepted and poured out when “Stone Cold” wasn’t looking because The President abstains from alcohol. donald trump wrestlemaniaAustin would end up giving a stunner to Donald Trump. Trump’s people backstage advised him not to take the move, but in the end it was Donald’s decision and because of this we are bestowed the gift of one of the most memorable Wrestlemania moments of all time. Accomplished pay-per-view a buy rate of 1,048,000, a record that still stands today.

Trump would return to WWE, when he purchased WWE from Vince McMahon. The Donald showed up to run the June 22, 2009 edition of WWE RAW. Under Trump’s ownership and management, gave the ticket buying audience a full refund, rendering a free night of entertainment. He also rebooked the matches for the night so the WWE Universe got better entertainment. By the end of the night McMahon made a deal with The President to buy back the company for twice what he originally sold it for earlier that day.

The 2013 WWE Hall of Fame would see Donald Trump be inducted by Vince McMahon. He is the only President in the United States to ever be inducted. Also in that year’s class Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Trish Stratus, Booker T and Mick Foley.

As far as the possibility of Trump winning this year’s Royal Rumble, it’s only a matter of showing up. If The President enters the match, it’s not imaginable that he would lose. That would guarantee an appearance at Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando. Having just been sworn in 9 days before the rumble, it seems extremely unlikely that Donald would show up at all however. A Wrestlemania appearance is likely at some point, though this year is probably not the year. There is a fair chance he could show up in December for the WWE’s Annual Tribute to the Troops event, at least via satellite. There’s still the WWE connection because Linda McMahon, Vince’s wife, earned a position in The President’s cabinet as head of the Small Business Administration.
