As of this moment, the latest markets are the appearance odds and one where clients can bet on title belts being used as weapons during the show.
The appearance prices are a regular thing the traders like putting up. They publish a list of names of names that have been associated with WWE in the past or are associated with the city that the event is being held in and then offer odds on them making an in-house appearance during the show.
The top of this list is Ric Flair with a very short 1/8. This is an interesting proposition as he's banned from ringside for Charlotte's defence of the WWE Women's Championship against Natalya. Knowing pro wrestling, The Nature Boy should find a way to get involved in the match hence the short odds.
Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon follow up at 1/5. Closely behind them are Bray Wyatt (5/4), Randy Orton (6/4) and Seth Rollins (6/4). These three names were mentioned on Vince McMahon's recent investor conference call where he noted that they were due back very soon. Whether they make an appearance at Extreme Rules is another thing, though.
New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, is 20/1. He was at MetLife Cemter for WrestleMania XXIX but I doubt he'll be present for this weekend's offering. As a gambling lobbyist, I think he'd like the idea that he's available in a market like this.
Another New Jersey native is King Kong Bundy. He hasn't been seen in the company since 1995, so him making a random appearance on Sunday at 50/1 seems fair.
Triple H is 20/1 and that also seems fair. I don't think we'll see him until the Shane/Stephanie thing blows up and that won't be for a while.

The other market is a three-way where customers can bet on 'How Many Different Title Belts Will Be Used As Weapons On The Night?'
The options are '0 Belts' at 20/21, '1 Belt' at 10/11 and '2 or More Belts' at 9/2.
If you're looking to bet here and not interested in taking zero, I would suggest looking at the '1 Belt' in case the belt is used in either the Intercontinental or World Heavyweight Championship matches. If there is a spot used in either of these bouts, it's highly unlikely that it'll be used any other time on the night.
These new markets can be found alongside odds that have been available since last week.They can be found under 'Special Bets' on the sportsbook menu at Betfair.com.
