Bwin's WWE Battleground 2016 Odds Published

We're less than a day removed from Money in the Bank and now we have the first sighting of betting odds for the next WWE pay-per-view.

The oddsmakers from the bwin Sportsbook have published some markets where their customers can predict the wrestlers that will win four of the championship matches that could end up on the card.

The market that intrigues me the most is the one for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. After Money in the Bank, I can't help but think that WWE will pull the trigger and give away the Shield three-way that has been a contemporary dream match for wrestling fans.

WWE announced today that the draft will take place on the first live Tuesday Smackdown on July 19th. Battleground is on the following Sunday, so I have a feeling that the triple threat match will be the last time the three wrestlers will be together on the same brand and the storyline heading into that match will be a question over where the WWE World Championship will end up at the close of the show.

There's also the potential for this match having a screwy finish that could lead to the title being split off. With that said, maybe it's too obvious something like this could happen with it being the final pay-per-view before the schism.

The WWE Tag Team Championship market also has The New Day as 1/5 faves. After hearing the commentators going on about them going for the longest reign record (It's Still Demolition to me, Dammit!), it's likely that they'll hold on to the straps for the time being.

The card should start taking shape soon enough.

Odds correct as of 7:45pm BST today. They can be found under 'Entertainment' on the sportsbook menu at the bwin website.
