I was intrigued to see how it looked after Naomi was forced to relinquish the title on last night's episode of Smackdown.

Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch to claim the title following Naomi's forfeit shortly beforehand.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I have not heard or read anything about a Smackdown Women's Championship match scheduled for WrestleMania. I had backed Naomi to still be the champ at the close of the show because the company put the title on her because she is from Orlando and it would have been good publicity to have the hometown favourite carrying the title around when doing local media.
Using my theory that the title will not be defended at Mania, I have now set my sights on the 2/1 for Alexa Bliss to still be the titleholder at the close of the show.
As for the market itself - the oddsmakers have cut Becky Lynch from 5/4 to 8/11 and Mickie James has dropped from 9/2 into 5/2.
Naomi no longer being the champ has resulted in the bookmaker moving the odds out from 4/7 favourite into 15/8.
The market can be found alongside other WWE WrestleMania 33 markets on Paddy Power's WWE Betting Page.
