Jericho was a conspicuous absence on this list, so I emailed the Unibet staff to request his name be added to all of the WrestleMania opponents markets (didn't specifically state the Lesnar market as I didn't want to tip my hand).
The firm has now acted. He's now available at the following prices:
66/1 to be World Heavyweight Champion at the close of WresteMania
66/1 to face The Rock at WrestleMania
40/1 to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania
66/1 to face HHH at WrestleMania
66/1 to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania
And the one I specifically wanted:
20/1 to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania
I have just returned home and placed the bets with Unibet (you can also back them at 888Sport.com and 32Red.com) and have just caught up with this morning's Wrestling Observer Radio where the Highlight Reel was brought up in the WWE news segment.
Dave Meltzer suspects they'll 'shoot some sort of an angle out of it' and 'maybe we'll get an idea where Lesnar's direction is'.
Of course, this might not completely mean it'll be Lesnar versus Jericho at WrestleMania as the segment could lead to someone else showing up. It could also just be a lead to the Royal Rumble. However, at this stage - and with an attractive 20/1 on the table - I think it's worth a speculative punt.
It'll be interesting to see if anything does come of this and whether the price drops in the days following tonight's episode.
As noted, you don't have to be a Unibet.com customer to wager on this market. The markets can also be found at 888Sport.com and 32Red.com. New clients can join via the links below. Your initial bet might qualify for the companies' respective offers.
i really cannot see this happening. jericho is past it, and this would be such a disappointing match up. when is the lat time jericho won a match, or had a memorable feud? he rarely wins, and comes and goes. not someone i want to see face lesnar on the grand stage.
