In this post, I'll tell you about all of the specials that have been created and share with you the current odds for them.
The first market that is available in the section with draft betting is a proposition which asks the customers whether or not they believe Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins will be exclusive Smackdown roster members following the draft.
As of this evening, 'Yes' is an 11/20 favourite. A decision in favour of 'No' is 5/4.
For what it's worth, I have a feeling the real-life couple will remain on the Raw brand. There are a few things that made me reach this conclusion.
Firstly, the Bayley/Sasha Banks duo makes the most sense to be kept together and - seeing as Bayley is the current Smackdown Women's Champion - I can see Sasha Banks moving over to Smackdown to be with her. I've backed Becky to win the Hell in a Cell match because of this opinion.
As for Seth Rollins - I think that Brock Lesnar moving across to Smackdown slightly strengthens my belief that Rollins will stay on Raw as I think they'll keep them apart now that we've seen he and Lesnar feud for most of this year.
There are slightly similar proposition markets where customers can bet on other on and off-screen partners/friends being drafted to the same show.
The selections, along with their 'Yes' and 'No' prices are:
AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson
Yes 1/5
No 3/1
Andrade and Charlotte Flair
Yes 3/10
No 11/5
Bayley and Sasha Banks
Yes 5/4
No 11/20
Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods
Yes 1/4
No 5/2
Naomi and Jimmy Uso
Yes 1/4
No 5/2
Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso
Yes 1/3
No 2/1
As I am sure you've guessed from what I've written above, I feel the 'No' being favoured in the Bayley and Sasha Banks proposition is a wrong call by the bookmaker, so I've placed a small bet on the 'Yes' for that one.
The remaining markets, and there are plenty of them, list the wrestler and the customer can wager on the brand the respective person will be affiliated with following the 11th October and 14th Draft shows. The rules state that they'll be graded per the roster pages on WWE.com at 6PM Eastern Time on Friday October 18th.

I've placed small bets on some of the names. Here's what I've gone for:
- Brock Lesnar to be affiliated with Smackdown 4/9
- Seth Rollins to be affiliated with Raw 6/4
- Randy Orton to be affiliated with Raw 13/10
- Sasha Banks to be affiliated with Smackdown 11/4
- Becky Lynch to be affiliated with Raw 19/10
- Heavy Machinery to be affiliated with Raw 19/10
- Ali to be affiliated with Raw 9/5
- Shinsuke Nakamura to be affiliated with Raw 6/4
I really think that you're wrong with your opionion that Sasha will be moving to SmackDown. I counted already 6 different commercials from SmackDown on FOX where Becky is included. There are also SmackDown events on Nov. 10 and Nov. 15 where she is advertised.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen one commercial or ad where Sasha is included. And I really don't think that FOX is using Becky in so much content when she isn't moving.
You could be right, but I don't think Sasha/Bayley should be split apart.
DeleteAnd the reason why you haven't seen Sasha in any commercials could be because they were filmed when she was out.
Yes, you're right, they shouldn't be split apart. But some weeks ago I read a rumor that Becky will win the SD title at the Oct. 11 SmackDown from Bayley and then Bayley will move to RAW at the Oct. 14 show.
DeleteThen at Survivor Series we will get SD champ Becky vs RAW champ Sasha, where Becky will get her revenge and win over her.
With your opionion, there would be all 4 Horsewomen on one show, because Charlotte is also in the commercials and advertised for some SD shows. Now that Alexa is also in some SD ads, RAW would have none of the big women left and SD has them all.
First, what you read is exactly as you wrote - a rumour and I would not buy or place any bets on that sort of speculation.
DeleteSecondly - with my opinion, the four horsewomen would not be all on one show as I have Becky staying on Raw.
BTW, here's another take worth considering.
DeleteIf WWE is serious about having the two rosters split apart, I think the champion versus champion thing might not even happen this year as it would mean the Raw/Smackdown stars interacting so close after a draft.
Sasha has blue hair... It means she is going to Smackdown.
DeleteI am sure Becky will went to Smackdown with Seth. No Chance in Hell Fiend would lose to Rollins. Seth is done with RAW. He was Universal,IC and Tag Team Champion. Nothing left for him. And FOX always wanted Becky on there Show. They don't want someone who walked out like Banks.
DeleteIf its Lesnar vs The Fiend that will be easier to put together as The Fiend could cut promos from the firefly fun house so they wouldn't have to cross paths on different shows until Survivor Series.
ReplyDeleteLesnar/Wyatt is one of the reasons why I am convinced that they're not going to do champ .vs. champ this year.
DeleteThe narrative could be Rollins overcame the challenge of The Fiend, Kofi Kingston overcomes the challenge of The Beast. Rollins vs Kofi Kingston, Champion vs Champion, two underdog babyfaces.
