Kambi's New 'Feuds' Specials

The oddsmakers from Kambi have installed intriguing Road to WrestleMania markets today titled 'Feuds'.

The theme is called 'Feuds' because it consists of potential match-ups that could take place on WWE programming over the next few months as we head toward next year's WrestleMania.

Before I go into this, I believe it's worth putting up the rules of these markets because it has potential controversy written all over it.

WWE Feud Betting

The bets refer to 'the first to obtain a victory in a singles match' between the listed participants. To win the match, the selection has to be victorious by pinfall, submission or ref stoppage. Results like disqualifications, count-outs don't count. Neither do no contests or draws.
To qualify, the matches have to be announced at least twenty-four hours before the event they take place on. Therefore, if you see a Smackdown match announced during Raw, this doesn't count (this is the same with other specials).
In this particular market, they've also discounted any non-title matches that might take place BEFORE an already confirmed title match has occurred. I guess the rule about matches needing at least twenty-four hour notice will cover this because I doubt a match that is already confirmed for a pay-per-view would be given build (it's more likely it'll be set up during the show).
If none of the qualifying matches take place at any point between the bet being struck and WrestleMania 35, bets will be declared void.
That's the gist. I advise reading it all in the image above and on the websites before placing your wagers.

With that out of the way, here are all of the potential matches and their odds. I'll add some ramblings below the matches that strike me.

AJ Styles 11/10
Daniel Bryan 13/20

AJ Styles EVS
Samoa Joe 7/10

We've already seen Joe announce his intention to go after Styles after the former was transferred to Smackdown. It should go without saying that we're getting this match, in some form, before the end of next year's WrestleMania.

Bobby Lashley 7/4
Braun Strowman 2/5

Bobby Lashley 23/20
Roman Reigns 8/13

Something might happen with Lashley and Reigns. They were both out there on Monday night when Kurt Angle announced the multi-person match for Extreme Rules. Whether it happens in the time frame for the bets to be considered runners is another thing entirely.

Bobby Lashley 4/6
Brock Lesnar 27/25

When it was first reported that Bobby Lashley was coming back, this was the match that the reports said had the chance of happening. I suppose Lashley would have to win the Extreme Rules. Unless, of course, Lesnar extends his contract. Still, it would have to take place before the end of Mania. To be fair - I could see this being Lesnar's match at Mania if he is still with the company in April.

Braun Strowman 1/4
Brock Lesnar 5/2

Remember what I wrote about controversy? Well - some of Kambi's markets factor in potential Money in the Bank cash ins. They don't here. What if Lesnar retains the Universal Championship at SummerSlam and Strowman cashes in immediately afterwards? Going by the ruling, it won't count.

Braun Strowman 7/10
Daniel Bryan EVS

Brock Lesnar 17/20
Daniel Bryan 17/20

Doubt this will happen, but if it did, the odds for Daniel Bryan are too high. I make this assumption because of how Vince McMahon wanted to book Bryan .vs. Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014. He wanted it to be a one-sided squash. John Cena was put in that position instead due to Bryan being injured.

Brock Lesnar 4/1
Roman Reigns 1/8

This is likely and the odds are spot on because Reigns has to get that W back.

Daniel Bryan 17/20
Roman Reigns 17/20

Daniel Bryan EVS
Samoa Joe 7/10

We've already seen these two go at it this year and we're likely going to see them one-on-one. Whether it'll qualify per the rules is another thing, though.

Daniel Bryan 11/20
Shinsuke Nakamura 5/4

Can see this happening.

Daniel Bryan 13/20
The Miz 11/10

This is happening. And it will happen in the time-frame.

John Cena 2/13
The Undertaker 7/2

Roman Reigns 3/4
Seth Rollins 19/20

Wouldn't surprise me if this is the Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35.

Alexa Bliss 3/1
Ronda Rousey 1/5

This will obviously happen.

Asuka 7/10
Charlotte Flair EVS

If it happens again, does Asuka get her win back?

Asuka 11/5
Ronda Rousey 3/10

Can no longer see this happening for a while.

Charlotte Flair 7/4
Ronda Rousey 2/5

The favourite to headline WrestleMania 35.

Ronda Rousey 1/16
Stephanie McMahon 6/1

Prices correct as of the time of publication. If available, you'll find the markets under 'Feuds (Road to WrestleMania)' on the websites that publish Kambi's WWE specials.
