Post-Raw Night Of Champions 2015 Odds

With last night being the go-home edition of WWE Raw before this Sunday's Night of Champions, I'm going to run through the odds available from the three sportsbooks that are currently offering betting on the event and note where the fans have been punting.

The Wyatts .vs. Ambrose/Reigns/Mystery

There are two sportsbooks with prices for this match as of the time of publishing. They are Betfair and Paddy Power.

There hasn't been any change with the market since I last checked in on Sunday. The best price you can find for The Wyatts is the 4/6 from Paddy Power. The better number for the babyfaces is the 23/20 from Betfair.

Ryback .vs. Kevin Owens

This market is only available at Betfair so far. Ryback is 4/6 to retain with a win. Kevin Owens is 11/10.

Dolph Ziggler .vs. Rusev

This market is available at Paddy Power, Betfair and 5Dimes.

Over at 5Dimes, the money appears to have gone the way of Rusev since last night's episode of Raw which saw him lose to Cesaro following distraction by Dolph Ziggler.

The Bulgarian Brute has dropped from +160 to +135 with Ziggler drifting to -175 from -210.

Customers in the UK who are unable to open accounts with 5Dimes can pick up Rusev at an attractive 7/4. This can be found with Betfair.

If you believe that Dolph Ziggler will be victor, the best bet would be with Paddy Power as he is 4/9 there.

The New Day .vs. The Dudley Boyz

Betfair is the venue for this match as the other two sportsbooks haven't done so just yet.

The WWE World Tag Team Champions are 1/3 while the returning Dudley Boyz are 2/1.

I'm leaning on a Dudleys win via DQ here. Not sure if I'll bet it, though.

Seth Rollins .vs. John Cena

There has been no change in the market at 5Dimes. Seth Rollins is still a +250 outsider to pick up the W. His challenger is -350.

The European books have seen action since Sunday.

Cena has dropped from 5/6 to 3/10 with Paddy Power while - over at Betfair - he has dropped from 8/13 to 4/7.

Rollins is now 5/4 and 11/5 with Betfair and Paddy Power respectively.

If you're looking for value, the best place to wager on either wrestler is Paddy Power for Seth Rollins or Betfair for Cena.

I'm leaning on John Cena, for what it's worth.

Seth Rollins .vs. Sting

Remember back when the market first went live and I wrote that I was on Sting winning via disqualification and would more than likely change my mind numerous times before the event? Well, I have changed my mind. I now believe that Sting will not win at all on Sunday.

There's so many reasons that have swayed my opinion on this. Heading in, I was of the belief that Sting going 0-2 after Night of Champions would be stupid. After last night's Raw, Sting is now 2-1 going in to the PPV so the win-loss doesn't matter anymore. Not that it ever does in WWE, anyway.

Last night's episode ended with Sting and John Cena celebrating. When the babyfaces close out a Monday, it's usually a sign that they aren't going to win the following Sunday. You can also count out Sting winning the title and then Sheamus cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase as Michael Cole's last words on the broadcast teased the possibility of a cash-in.

Sting is also travelling to the UK for meet and greets in a fortnight from Sunday night, so his schedule indicates he is certainly not winning the belt.

The 5Dimes bettors appear to have the same mindset as Seth Rollins' price has shortened since yesterday night.

The titleholder is now -455. It had been -410. As a result, Sting's odds have drifted out from +290 to +315.

UK wrestling bettors can pick up Seth Rollins at 2/7 with Betfair.

If you're still looking for Sting to win (he could still do it by DQ or countout), the best price available is the 5/2 from Paddy Power.

Divas Championship

I left this match market last because it is topical.

On last night's episode of Raw, Charlotte was awarded a win over Nikki Bella by disqualification following a Dusty Finish that teased the challenger had won the Divas Championship and effectively ended Bella's attempt to become the longest-reigning champion.

The match was originally booked for Night of Champions, but had been brought forward to Raw. This prompted 5Dimes and Betfair to take the market off the board. Paddy Power's market remained open.

In a post published last week, I speculated that a rematch would be booked for Night of Champions and I was accurate. I felt the dynamic would change and that Charlotte should enter the bout as favourite.

Betfair's republished lines are spot on with this prediction as the challenger is now 4/6 to pick up the win on Sunday. She had been 11/10. The roles have certainly reversed as Nikki Bella is now 11/10.

If you're looking for a value punt on Charlotte, it can be found with the unmoved 5/4 with Paddy Power.

There are no markets available for the pre-show match. I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time until something is published.

Odds correct as of the time of publishing. For the latest, check out:
