More Battleground Prop Bets Published

The Paddy Power Sportsbook has published more WWE Battleground side bets.

Earlier today, I noted that the traders had put up a market where customers could bet on The Authority to interfere in the Seth Rollins .vs Brock Lesnar main event. This was on top of a market that had been added on Friday giving clients the opportunity to wager on The Undertaker making an in-ring appearance tomorrow night.

The latest offerings are: 'Dean Ambrose to make an in-ring appearance', 'Sheamus to cash in the Money in the Bank contract during the PPV' and 'Sting to make an in-ring appearance'.

The Dean Ambrose side bet would sort of play to those thinking that The Shield might reform. It's an idea that a lot of fans are predicting. Whether it's executed is another thing entirely. With that said, Dean Ambrose just being in the ring at any point during the night will be a winning bet regardless of whether there is a Shield reunion or not.

As of the time of publishing, the 'Yes' was a short 1/8 while the 'No' was 4/1.

A Money in the Bank contract cash-in has been chalked up with 'Yes' 4/1 and 'No' 1/8. I'm confident there won't be a cash-in, so the pricing is spot on.

It has been reported that Sting will be at SummerSlam, so the bet where customers can wager on him making an in-ring appearance at Battleground might be of interest to some.

The 'Yes' option is an attractive 7/4 while 'No' is 2/5.

Remember, WWE is desperate to have an increase in subscribers to its Network in order to reveal a big number to investors at the end of the month. Having The Undertaker or Sting speculation out there beforehand will lead to curiosity sign-ups in time for the PPV. If the company pulls the trigger and does have either Undertaker, Sting or both making appearances on the night, it can get additional subscribers signing up post-Battleground to see how things unfolded. The 7/4 is worth considering.

These prop bets can be found alongside the regular Battleground match markets on Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.
