Balor Sole Favourite To Succeed Adam Cole As NXT Champion

Following his heel turn on this week's episode of NXT, Finn Balor has moved from joint-favourite to sole favourite in a betting market in which people can bet on who will become NXT Champion after Adam Cole.

Balor, who was 5/4 along with Tommaso Ciampa, is now at 23/20. Ciampa remains at the price he has been since the market opened earlier in the month.

In a way, it slightly makes sense to see Balor's price drop. This is considering the possibility of the Irishman eventually overthrowing Adam Cole as leader of the Undisputed Era.

With that said, for the time being it looks like Balor could be headed into a feud with the person he Pele kicked to trigger his heel turn - Johnny Gargano - leading into and likely after War Games.

Therefore, Cole should be up against Ciampa so - in my opinion - the favourite should be Ciampa even though I haven't bet on him.

Even though Ciampa does make the most sense to be favourite, I have had a small gamble on Gargano at 6/1 in case Balor is used as a gatekeeper for Cole and leads to another Cole/Gargano feud in 2020.

It was really a gamble on the odds of 6/1 more than anything else. If I were forced to pick one - and no odds were applied to either guy and was just a guess - it would be Ciampa.
