This is an interesting development as it should finally write off AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair. Or - in the very least - cast further doubt on their chance of walking away as season two winners.
With the last match taking place on the Tables, Ladders and Chairs card - and with Styles still WWE Champion - I have been touting that Asuka and The Miz are the likely winners of Smackdown's side of the tournament.
Tonight's news has made me even more confident that Team Awe-Ska will represent Smackdown in the final.
As for the Raw side - all I can say is my idea from yesterday, where I have Braun Strowman winning the Royal Rumble from number one spot, might have been a premature Sky Bet request.
With that said, Bayley and Finn Balor - now that they've made the playoffs - would be my pick to represent Raw in the final. What's working in my favour is the fact that Strowman will likely have an even bigger role coming out of the Survivor Series.
Kambi's market for Raw's side of the tournament closed at 5PM BST today.
Ember Moon and Braun Strowman closed as 4/9 favourites over Mickie James and Bobby Lashley (6/4).

Initially, the odds for Asuka and The Miz were cut in the first day from even money into 9/10. However, when I checked in this afternoon, I noticed that customers had backed Flair and Styles from 4/5 into 13/20. As a result, Asuka and The Miz have drifted out tto 11/10.
The Gender of Decision proposition market has seen customers back the males.

It has moved in from 9/10 into 7/10.
It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. Honestly I can see Miz/Asuka winning the MMC. Keep in mind that while I'm not sure about the men's side, I'm pretty sure Charlotte will still win the Women's Royal Rumble regardless.
ReplyDeletetalk about sucking all the jam out of the rumble. even though they usually butcher the delivery, the intrigue over #30 is the best thing about the whole ppv.
