Charlotte Flair's WWE Smackdown Women's Championship victory over Asuka - on last night's episode of WWE Smackdown - means that a betting market that had been available to Sky Bet customers, from the day following Asuka's title win, has now closed.
The special titled 'Smackdown Women's Champion After Asuka' was published on Monday December 17th with the eventual winner a 3/1 second-favourite behind Becky Lynch, who was 11/4.
With both ladies eventually finding their way into contention for the WWE Raw Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 35, the bookies moved them out while stars like Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville and others - who appeared to be in line to challenge Asuka for the title at WrestleMania moved up the market.
When I checked in a couple of hours before the market shut yesterday evening, the fave was Mandy Rose at 7/4. She was followed by Sonya Deville (5/1), Carmella (11/2) and Naomi (11/2). All of these ladies were in contention to be awarded a Smackdown Women's Championship shot at the time I looked. However, by Smackdown, their fatal four-way match was obviously scrapped in favour of Charlotte Flair's title challenge.
Flair was being offered at 12/1 before the market was taken down ahead of last night's show.

Is this all a way just for Ronda to have both titles when Wrestlemania finishes?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but if the Smackdown title is on the line as well, I may have placed the flukiest bet I've ever done on WWE (and that says a lot considering I have a track record of some fluky results).
DeleteThe other week, I thought Asuka .vs. Mandy .vs. Sonya would be the SD match for Mania so backed 'Three Participants' at 6/1 on Kambi in the market in which you bet on how many people will compete for that title.
