The new markets that have caught my attention today are ones where clients can have a punt on the person - or persons - responsible for the elimination of certain wrestlers from the match. As of the time of writing, there is one market for Roman Reigns' eliminator, one for Shinsuke Nakamura and another for John Cena.
The image above is for the market where clients can have a bet on the wrestler that ousts Roman Reigns from the bout. Shinsuke Nakamura has been priced up as an even money favourite here.
It should be worth pointing out that 'Royal Rumble Men Match Winner' at 7/2 is a bet on Roman Reigns winning the Rumble (therefore he isn't eliminated). It isn't a wager on the person who ends up winning the Rumble being the eliminator.
Randy Orton is 1/2 to be the entrant that eliminates Shinsuke Nakamura on Sunday night. On this week's episode of Smackdown, we saw Orton lay out Nakamura with an RKO. In my opinion, this would mean Nakamura gets his revenge by eliminating Orton from the match, so I'm not even going to consider Orton as being the person who throws out Nakamura.
If you read this week's Bookie .vs. Blogger, it should come as no surprise if I were to tell you that I've had a punt on Dolph Ziggler being the man who causes Nakamura to leave the match.
I'm going to use the same sort of logic with the Nakamura/Orton scenario from Smackdown with the market for John Cena's eliminator.
If you saw Raw on Monday night, you would have witnessed Cena attacked by Elias. This market has opened with Elias at even money to eliminate Cena from the match. I believe the angle on Monday was done for Cena to gain his revenge and be the person who throws out Elias, so - once again - I am looking beyond the favourite here.
