On Monday night, it was confirmed that The O.C. will take on The Judgment Day in a six-man tag team match on the Crown Jewel card. As of right now, the bookies have the former as -400 favourites while a win for Finn Balor, Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio would pay out at +250.
Also on Monday night, WWE added Brock Lesnar .vs. Bobby Lashley to the November 5th show.
The former WWE United States Champion - Lashley - is a +250 underdog while Lesnar is -400.
The market for Roman Reigns .vs. Logan Paul is still showing the same pricing as when it was first released last month with the WWE Universal Champion a -5,000 fave to Paul's +1,000.
Now, onto BetOnline's NJPW markets.
In the first, NJPW Junior Heavyweight Champion - Taiji Ishimori - is favoured to retain his title in the four-way. He's -200 and is followed by El Desperado (+250), Hiromu Takahashi (+350) and Master Wato (+650) in the running.
In my opinion, IWGP World Heavyweight Champion - Jay White - is a surprising favourite to beat Kazuchika Okada in the main event.
BetOnline has White at -220 and the challenger at +160.
The January 4th event is being held in honour of Antonio Inoki and the promos done by Okada for the event have focused on him wanting to be the standard bearer of a new era for NJPW following Inoki's passing.
To be quite frank, he already has been one of the leaders of a post-Inoki era for New Japan. But, if that's the way NJPW wants to spin it for Wrestle Kingdom 17 and beyond, it makes sense for Okada to be the person who wins on January 4th. I believe the company wouldn't do a mission statement like that and then have a gaijin (Jay White) walk out of the Tokyo Dome as the champ.
WWE's Crown Jewel event is scheduled for November 5th while NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 will take place from the Tokyo Dome on January 4 2023.
