Specials And Props For Tonight's WWE Raw

With there being a lack of things to currently bet on, the oddsmakers from BetOnline have published a handful of specials for tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.

Advertised for tonight is an appearance from 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and a contract signing between AJ Styles and The Undertaker.

Both are covered in the specials.

For Austin's appearance - to celebrate it being 3/16 - they have a special asking 'How Many Stunners Will Stone Cold Deliver?' and 'Who Will Stone Cold Stunner First?'

In the first market, they are offering one stunner at +100, two stunners at +250, three at +200, four is +600, '5 or more' is +600 and the option to wager on zero is +1,000.

I was asked by somebody on Twitter whether I thought that the '5 or More' selection was valuable and I couldn't agree with that.

Going by his most recent appearances, Austin has delivered between zero to two stunners to people he has interacted with. Five or more seems excessive considering the recent trends.

I can see he and Kevin Owens sharing stunners on people, if the latter has made it to Orlando. This leads me to the next special.

The selections on offer in the 'Who Will Stone Cold Stunner First?' special are:

Murphy +200
Seth Rollins +200
Randy Orton +300
Erick Rowan +500
Bobby Lashley +600
AJ Styles +800

If the scenario I have envisioned plays off, then Murphy seems correctly positioned as the favourite here. Had this been a week ago, I would have considered the AOP members but Rezar has now been sidelined with an arm injury and I don't know the status of Akam. Plus, he isn't even in the running on this market.

Rowan kind of stands out to me as well considering he was kind of given up on last week with Drew McIntyre not only beating him, but also killing the spider that Rowan had been carrying in a cage for months.

Still, the Austin/Owens team-up is what I would like to see.

As for The Undertaker and AJ Styles contract signing - BetOnline has the following:

- AJ Styles Delivers A Signature Move To Undertaker?
Yes +150
No -200

If I were betting, and if I believed Mania is happening in a few weeks, then I would have backed the +150 option because Taker has had the best of Styles so far in their feud. Styles has to get something back before they meet one-on-one. The Phenomenal Foreman makes sense to me here.

- Finisher The Undertaker Delivers To AJ Styles?
Chokeslam +150
Tombstone +175
Tombstone and Chokeslam +200
None +250

I would pick 'None' going by my 'Styles needs to get some heat back' theory.

- Finisher Undertaker Delivers To Karl Anderson
Tombstone -150
Chokeslam +150
Tombstone and Chokeslam +300
None +450

-Finisher The Undertaker Delivers To Luke Gallows
Tombstone -150
Chokeslam +150
Tomebstone and Chokeslam +350
None +300

On paper, the chokeslan makes the most sense as Tombstones are banned/only used for special occasions. The Performance Center with no audience in attendance is not what I would consider a 'special occasion'.

Finally, there's a prop about the music that will play following the contract signing segment. They're offering:

The Undertaker -180
AJ Styles +140

Going by my scenario, I should go with Styles +140 (if I were betting), but they could do my idea and have Taker arise and scare off the trio.

The market is available on The BetOnline Website.
