Just like last year's market, Braun Strowman is a favourite to win the match that will likely take place at WrestleMania 33 on April 2nd. The 2016 winner - Baron Corbin - is 8/1 to go for the repeat. However, I have a feeling he'll be in the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania.
Finn Balor, who has yet to return to action following an injury in August, is an interesting prospect at 16/1. I've written about this idea in other posts about this battle royal, but think he's worth a speculative punt if he hasn't returned to action by April 2nd.
In the aforementioned previous posts - I mentioned having a bet on Hulk Hogan. I've done the same today as I thought 50/1 was too high to turn down considering WWE has subtley been bringing Hogan's name back into play on WWE Network advertising. In my opinion, it's a matter of when - not if - Hogan comes back. Having him return as a surprise winner of the Andre the Giant Battle Royal might be a taking the fantasy booking a tad too far, though.
I can absolutely understand why Braun Strowman is a favourite to win. He doesn't appear to have a dance partner for WrestleMania, so - as of right now - the match now seems like a fit for him.
All of the odds can be viewed in the image below:

Got to be Braun now. Monster amongst men and being the 2017 andre the giant memorial battle royal winner. Sounds good to me
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's a step backward after the past few months.
