2021 WWE Draft Betting Markets Released

With WWE reportedly set to host another one of its drafts next month, Kambi has published markets in which customers could gamble on which brand certain wrestlers will be assigned to once the moves have been completed.

The markets were first installed yesterday afternoon. I revisited them this morning and noticed three have been adjusted.

Drew McIntyre's price to be a member of Smackdown was initially priced as an 11/25 favourite. It has since dropped into 2/5.

The option to gamble on McIntyre remaining on the Raw roster following the draft has been increased from 7/4 from 8/5.

If McIntyre were to cross brands, I believe there has to be a top-tier babyface moved in to replace him. Going by how Smackdown showed Seth Rollins remorseful for how his match with Edge went on Friday night, I can't help but think that Rollins could be moved back to the red brand as its top babyface.

When the Seth Rollins market was published yesterday, Kambi was offering 'Raw' as 7/2. I backed the selection at that price. It has since declined into 3/1.

Those who believe Smackdown will remain Rollins' home following the draft can now get 'Smackdown' as a 1/5 favourite. It was previously a shorter 2/13.

It should be worth noting that, in usual cases, I would gamble on real-life couples being kept together on the same brand. There are a lot of reasons why it might not be wise to punt on 'Raw' being Becky Lynch's home following the draft, but I thought - at 4/1 - it was worth a punt.

'Raw' has since been moved down to 3/1 with Smackdown up from 1/8 to 1/5.

To contradict my Becky Lynch wager, I have also entertained the idea of Bianca Belair moving over to Raw from Smackdown. This was before I found the 4/1 appealing.

The reasoning is because I have a feeling Bianca Belair will get the decision over Lynch - in the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship match - at Extreme Rules in two weeks. However, I initially didn't think the title would switch hands.

If Belair does not get the strap, I could see her being moved back to Raw to give her an out for not regaining it from Lynch.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out because I believe the Rollins, Lynch and Belair markets are related in more ways than they appear to be.

Or maybe it's a case of me overthinking it.
