Vader's odds to be the headline inductee at the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony have continued to decline since his passing on June 18th.
He has dropped to 7/2 from 5/1 after starting off at 25s when the market was first published in early April.
Kambi's betting market - which will pay out on the wrestler who is the final inductee of next year's event during WrestleMania Week - was temporarily taken down ahead of last night's episode of Raw, but I was able to catch the adjusted prices before their removal.
I'm still somewhat surprised that people are gambling on Vader being the main event inductee.
WWE has never had a posthumous induction in the final spot of these events. The most notable example I can point to is 'Macho Man' Randy Savage's inclusion in 2015. His induction was in the semi-main event portion of how these events are booked with Arnold Schwarzenegger following as the celebrity inductee and then Kevin Nash in the main event slot.
In 2006, months after his passing, Eddie Guerrero was in the semi-main slot with Bret Hart headlining.
Part of me believes that maybe the punter is unaware that Vader has to be the headline act despite it being blatant from how the market is worded on the website.
With Vader's price moving in, the bookies have moved Dave Bautista out to 7/2 from 5/2.
