Paddy Power has published a plethora of WWE betting markets that will cover the upcoming WWE Elimination Chamber event right through to next year's Royal Rumble.
The Elimination Chamber coverage consists of markets for the chamber match for the WWE Championship as well as the opportunity to gamble on the winner of WWE Raw Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Lita.
Brock Lesnar is EVS to regain the WWE Title against the field inside the chamber. The current champ, Bobby Lashley, is 6/4. Then it's Seth Rollins (10/3)), AJ Styles (11/2), Riddle (8/1) and Austin Theory (14/1).
Becky Lynch is 1/5 over Lita (3/1) for their match in Saudi Arabia.
Customers will find a WrestleMania market which asks who will be 'Universal Champion at Conclusion of WrestleMania 38'.
As it currently stands, Brock Lesnar is a 4/6 favourite. Those looking to gamble on the current champion - Roman Reigns - will find him at 11/10.
Two markets for the Money in the Bank ladder matches have also been installed.
Damian Priest and AJ Styles are joint 5/1 favourites to be declared this year's Mr. Money in the Bank while - over in the betting for the women's Money in the Bank ladder match - Bayley and Sasha Banks are also 5/1 joint-faves.
Speaking of Banks, she is Paddy Power's favourite to win the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble. She is 5/1 while her WrestleMania 37 co-main eventer - Bianca Belair - is second at 6/1. Rhea Ripley is also 6s.
The Rock is unsurprisingly favoured to be the 2023 Royal Rumble winner at odds of 5/1.
I state that it's not a shock to see Dwayne Johnson at the top of the betting for the men's market because many, myself included, have felt that the big dream match of The Rock versus Roman Reigns could take place at a WrestleMania.
In my opinion, Mania being in Hollywood next year is an appropriate time for such a match to take place. It would obviously depend on Johnson's schedule both as an actor and owner of the XFL football league, which is set to re-relaunch in 2023.
The window for a Dwayne Johnson Rumble win will - in my opinion - close next year. I have taken a gamble at the 5/1.
I have also placed my annual John Cena Rumble wager just in case they want to once again do the story of him chasing the 'record'. This year, I picked up 25/1. Just like with The Rock, outside commitments make this a bigger gamble.
As for the women's match - I have backed one selection and that's Becky Lynch.
If the plan is for Ronda Rousey to choose Charlotte Flair for this year's WrestleMania, then it has to mean that the plan is for Lynch and Rousey to do battle in a year's time.
I envision Ronda being the Smackdown Women's Champion following the Flair match. Therefore, to get to Lynch as Ronda Rousey's opponent for WrestleMania 39, a Rumble win would, in my opinion, be the way it's set up.
Becky Lynch is 14/1. I strongly believe, what with the Ronda/Flair report, that the current WWE Raw Women's Champion should have been down as the favourite instead of Banks and Belair.
