The current odds for WWE Fastlane at this time can be considered “projected outcomes” or “smart money odds” and while there are long odds on some of the matches, many are much closer. In particular, the Raw Women’s Championship is so close this could end being a no contest. At the most recent WWE Pay Per View, Nikki Bella and Natalya in a double count out. The sports book taking these wagers canceled the bet and refunds were issued. This is how issues like this are handled. Charlotte is slightly favored at -160 but at one point was heavily favored at -1750. Charlotte Flair’s streak of being undefeated on PPV is believed by many to end at Wrestlemania next month for a Mania moment and a non-finish here would not contaminate Charlotte’s current streak. The cruiserweight tag of Swann and Tozawa vs Kendrick and Dar is very close and this is because it’s a pre-show match and not much money was put on it compared to the Women’s Championship.
The Raw Tag champs of Gallows and Anderson are favored to retain -560 and the challengers Enzo and Cass are rumored to have the big title win at Wrestlemania in Orlando where they spent so much time in NXT. Neville is also favored to retain his championship at -615 in the cruiserweight division.
The heaviest odds favorites are Goldberg at -2000 to beat Kevin Owens. Originally an underdog in the early lines, Nia Jax is favored at -1700 to win against Sasha Banks. Early bets on Nia could end up paying off and these early bets are what has driven Nia’s favorablility.
At -1625, Samoa Joe is thought of as a lock to beat Sami Zayn and Braun Strowman is at -1200 to beat Roman Reigns. Some sports books are also offering odds of 1/2(67%) that the Undertaker will interfere in Roman vs Braun. The speculation driving this is that this will be to further set up Roman vs Taker at Wrestlemania
There are separate lines available for “initial ruling” and “end of broadcast” grading. The initial ruling grading was just added and as of know both sets of lines are identical and any significant variance that emerges would suggest a “Dusty Finish” would happen. Keep an eye on these and these lines can be followed by anyone.

Despite what the odds say, we always like to predict for the upcoming PPV’s. WWE Fastlane is tomorrow, here are my thoughts!
Predictions:
Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar (Kickoff Match)
I am really looking forward to this match up, as I love watching these guys wrestle. These are all well rounded workers, but from recent WWE TV we can see that Kendrick and Dar, don’t seem to care much for rules. So I give it to Swann and Tozawa by DQ.
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax
Nia Jax is a powerful and intimidating force in the WWE women’s division. Sasha Banks, the former champion, has a lot to overcome in this battle. Can she outwit Jax, as she certainly cannot overpower her. I give this one to Nia Jax
Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass
Have I told you guys how much I hate the gimmick of Gallows and Anderson? I really really hate their appearance. They look like neo nazi’s. Despite my hating on their gimmick, I do like watching them wrestle. I think this match is going to be one of the highlights of the night. Cass and Amore may be able to overcome Gallows and Anderson based on their strong bond as tag team partners, and friends, as long as they are careful that Amore doesn’t get cornered by Gallows and Anderson, as they would quickly undo him. I give this to Big Cass and Enzo Amore, to capture the tag championship!
Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs. Jack Gallagher
This match has interference written all over it. If these two get through the entire match without Dar or Kendrick interfering I would be shocked. That being said, I also wonder if Gallagher’s unorthodox style is enough to overcome Neville who seems to be the most powerful cruiser weight in the division. I think Neville will retain the Cruiserweight championship.
Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe
I know people love Samoa Joe, and I do not deny he is a good wrestler, but I never got the hype. These guys should work well off each other, I see a lot of back and forth in this match as long as Zayn doesn’t allow himself to be overpowered early on. I think Samoa Joe will win this match up.
Raw Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair
Charlotte is hungry to regain the Women’s Championship. Will Bayley be able to overcome Charlotte’s well known history of following in her fathers cheating footsteps. Charlotte will try to capture the belt by any means necessary, I see Charlotte taking the win, and potentially facing Nia Jax at Wrestlemania.
Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman
These two are going to tear the building down. I have a feeling at least one announce table will be destroyed during this match, and these two will brawl where ever they see fit. It’s hard for me to determine who will win this match up, but I am personally pulling for Reigns.
Universal Champion Kevin Owens vs. Goldberg
I hate to keep complaining, but Goldberg is still hella boring. I really could care less about this match. I choose Owens, because putting the title on Goldberg seems hella stupid. But this being WWE they might just do that.

Wild swings are happening with the Fastlane odds. Braun Strowman vs Roman Reigns seemed to be in a dead heat, but now Strowman has emerged as a heavy favorite at -2000. Reigns was at one point slightly favored before the lines became so volatile both men were listed as underdogs.
Sasha Banks no longer favored to win against Nia Jax, who is extremely favored now at -1700. Women’s matches as of recent have seen more flipping of the odds than other other division.
Some other matches are seeing the lines shorten significantly. Charlotte for example was at -1750 and has been downgraded to -900 with the outcome moving closer to bring in the favor of Bayley.

American Odds from 5Dimes are in for this Sunday’s WWE Fastlane on the WWE Network and suggest that we will see two title changes barring a DQ or Count Out of course. Goldberg is a big favorite to dethrone current Universal Champion Kevin Owens. An even bigger favorite in Charlotte Flair to defeat Raw Women’s Champion Bayley as Charlotte is undefeated on PPV and the rumors indicate that this streak will not end until Wrestlemania 33.
Both the Raw Tag Champs Anderson and Gallows as well as Cruiserweight Champion Neville are favored to win their matches and retain those championships.
Roman Reigns is slightly favored to beat Braun Strowman and as a side note Irish sports book Paddy Power has a prop bet at 1/2(-200) that the Undertaker will appear at ringside for this match. This would further build to the rumored Mania match between Roman and Taker. The 1/2 odds mean a $2 bet would yield $1 or in other words Taker is favored to show up and get involved in the match.
Other matches see Samoa Joe heavily favored to beat Sami Zayn, and is fact the most favored of anyone to win at Fastlane. Sasha Banks is slightly favored to beat Nia Jax which is puzzling considered the monster push Jax has been getting all along. Finally the team of Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa are slightly favored to beat Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar in a tag match.
A quick explanation of these odds would be that the minus indicated the favorite and the plus for the underdog. The number after the plus or minus tells us how favored or unfavored the competitors are. For example, betting $1350 on Goldberg at -1350 would only win $100 because he is so favored but it would only take a successful $100 bet on Owens at +650 to win $650 due to Kevin being the underdog. The odds are constantly changing and can be followed in real time.

Kevin Owens(c) +650 vs Goldberg -1350
WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Bayley(c) +850 vs Charlotte Flair -1750
