WWE Champion After Jinder Mahal Betting Odds Update

I've finally reached the last of the Kambi markets that I wanted to publish updates about before they're eventually republished.

In this post, I plan to focus on the WWE Championship markets where customers could bet on the person who succeeds Jinder Mahal as titleholder and also the special where punters can have a gamble on the timeframe when Mahal drops the strap.

The last time I recorded prices for both of these markets was September 12th. There were a handful of changes when I observed the prices on Sunday morning.

To start off with, the market now has AJ Styles and John Cena as joint-favourites. This is understandable because Styles is the number one contender to Mahal's crown and they're bound to wrestle each other once the Survivor Series - and Mahal's current rivalry with Brock Lesnar - is put to bed. Styles' price has been lowered from 3/1 into 5/4.

John Cena, who was 5/4 when I last checked in, is now 4/5.

There's a good reason why.

Jinder Mahal is now on record as wanting to wrestle Cena at WrestleMania. He said so while doing a tour of India a couple of weekends ago. 

Kevin Owens has been snipped from 4s to 5/2 in a move I do find suprising because Owens and Mahal are both heels and I believe it has to be a babyface that unseats the champ. This neatly leads to Bobby Roode, who has dipped from 12/1 into 10/1.

Shinsuke Nakamura, who lost his feud with Mahal and was a 1/4 favourite in September, is the only name to have his odds increased by the sportsbook. He's now out at 3/1.

Next WWE Champion After Jinder Mahal Betting Odds - Date Of Loss Betting

The market where clients can bet on the date of Mahal's loss has seen all but one selection have a price cut.

'Between Survivor Series But Before Royal Rumble' is now 5/4 from 2/1, 'Between Royal Rumble But Before WrestleMania' has moved in from 6/4 to EVS, 'During WrestleMania' has been slashed from 11/2 to EVS (mainly due to Mahal's interview would be my assumption) and any other time from the Monday after Mania has been snipped from 15s into 10/1.

It comes as no surprise to see 'Between 1st Day After SummerSlam, But Before Survivor Series' now out at 7/1 from 2/5. One reason is because there are three more episodes of Smackdown that will cover this period. More importantly - the Survivor Series meeting between Mahal and Brock Lesnar is about them being the champ of their respective brands. It should go without saying that hey can't do this short-term program if Mahal isn't holding the strap leading into - and on - November 19th.

    Am I the only one who thinks Cena vs Mahal will happen at Royal Rumble instead of Wrestlemania ?

    I just think neither Cena nor Roman will win Royal Rumble next year in Philadelphia

      I've thought about it a bit, to be fair. I've even wondered if they go with Lesnar vs Cena at the Rumble.

      I always return to Cena or Reigns winning the Rumble, though.

      If not Cena or Reigns winning the Rumble, who do you believe it'll be?

      I mean I just have this idea of Styles beating Mahal for WWE championship and nakamura Winning Royal rumble

      But I can't see them ignoring Cena vs Mahal for WWE championship and also I don't think Vince is too high on Nakamura to give this big Royal rumble victory

      But man, it feels weird to see Imagine Cena or Roman Winning Royal rumble in Philadelphia

      I remember we both had a similar discussion earlier this year about the Rumble and Philadelphia.

      I've been disappointed with how they've booked Nakamura since moving up. Hasn't done him any good and like you said, I don't think they'd give him the Rumble win even though I did have a bet on him as soon as the market was published in January.

      The thing is - if anyone believes that it's going to be AJ vs Nakamura for the title, they'd have to consider Nak for the Rumble because it looks like Mahal/Styles could be the program for Dec-Jan (unless they do what you thought have Cena/Mahal at Rumble).

      True, AJ vs nakamura might be a non title match but again both are babyfaces and they need to create a new Storyline for it

      Or they might even do heel Orton vs Nakamura

    Apart from Roman and Cena, who do you think has good chances to win Royal Rumble

      I can't see beyond Cena or Reigns at this point.
