Strowman Now Favourite To Win Andre The Giant Battle Royal And More

Braun Strowman has now become a favourite to win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35 in a betting market that's available from Sky Bet.

The Monster Among Men announced his intention to compete in the match during last night's edition of WWE Raw and is now 6/5 to overcome the field.

When I checked in last night, Strowman was at 16/1. Customers could have found him at 33/1 when the market was first published on February 16th.

Fortunately for me, I was thinking about potential things for Strowman to do at WrestleMania and the only thing that seemed logical from my guesswork was to be in the battle royal. I placed a few pounds on him at 20/1 on Friday evening.

With Strowman currently in a 'feud' of sorts with the Saturday Night Live comedians, I thought it was worth asking Sky Bet if those names could be added to the list as well.

The end scene should be Strowman celebrating the win with the two men (for press), but I felt the need to have small wagers on the comics just in case of some silly conclusion where either one of them has their hands raised in victory.

The two names - Colin Jost and Michael Che - have both been added at 80/1 each.

In related news - with Kurt Angle seemingly set to wrestle in a singles match at WrestleMania, it looks like the streak of early favourites not winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal has continued.

Angle started off as the early favourite to win the battle royal when it first opened in mid-February. His name will be added to the table below in time for next year's edition of the match.

Only time will tell whether Braun Strowman finds his way in the 'Winner' column. After two previous years of being an early favourite, it sure would be ironic if he finally wins it after starting off at longer odds.
