Another MITB Special: The Champion Who Will Face The 2016 MITB Winner

If you've visited WWELeaks.org within the past day, I am sure you would have came across a handful of WWE Brand Extension/Draft based betting odds. The first post of the day was a slip back into looking at Money in the Bank 2016 odds. In this post, I'll continue what I started earlier on and look at another MITB market.

The traders at 888Sport.com, 32Red.com and Unibet.com have released odds where customers can bet on the champion that this year's Money in the Bank winner will execute his immediate title shot against. Interestingly, they have Seth Rollins as the favourite with a price of 1/2. Roman Reigns is next in line at 4/5.

With the title match of Money in the Bank 2016 seeing Roman Reigns defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins, it makes sense to see these two at the top of the list. 

I've been of the opinion that this year's Money in the Bank title shot will be cashed in before SummerSlam. I doubt Roman Reigns will lose the title any time soon, so - if I had to pick one or the other - then Reigns should be the bet.

But, there's one other wrinkle worth considering and that's the brand extension.

What if the MITB winner cashes in the title shot on the holder of a second world title if one is introduced following a brand split?

If this is the case, then John Cena at 6/1 is worth considering.

I've placed bets on both Reigns and Cena. The full list of runners can be viewed below:

Seth Rollins 1/2
Roman Reigns 5/4
AJ Styles 6/1
John Cena 6/1
Brock Lesnar 10/1
Bray Wyatt 14/1
Dean Ambrose 14/1
Kevin Owens 14/1
Cesaro 20/1
Chris Jericho 20/1
Sami Zayn 20/1
Randy Orton 25/1
Alberto Del Rio 33/1
Finn Balor 33/1
Samoa Joe 33/1
Shinsuke Nakamura 33/1
HHH 40/1

When available, the markets can be found under 'WWE' at the following websites:
