Solo Sikoa's odds to be holding either the WWE or Universal Championship on New Year's Eve have lowered in a special market available from BetOnline.
The special is something I've written about late last year and also a few days ago. It allows customers to gamble on who will be holding the straps on the final day of this year.
When betting first began in December, the oddsmakers listed The Bloodline's henchman right at the bottom of the list at a price of +10,000. He was at those very same odds when the market was republished following WrestleMania. However, upon today's visit, I've notice Sikoa has dipped into +8,000.
Whoever has bet on the selection must be on a similar wavelength as I because it's evident that Sikoa is an important part of The Bloodline faction storyline and, considering this is pro wrestling, he should be the one to watch.
I don't necessarily believe Sikoa will be holding either, or both, of the titles come December, but I strongly suspect that if - or rather when - The Bloodline faction combusts, it'll be through a breakdown between Sikoa and Reigns rather than with either of The Usos and the Head of the Table.
Sikoa is one of the selections I gambled on when Paddy Power released a market for the men's Money in the Bank ladder match earlier this year.
He is 15/2 (+750 US) to be the 2023 Money in the Bank victor and also appears at those odds, of 15/2, to win the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble in Paddy Power's market which was recently created.
I have only gambled on one selection in Paddy Power's Rumble market so far and it has gone on Roman Reigns.
There is method to what currently looks like madness.
The sportsbook lists the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at 20/1 to win next year's battle royal. I consider that a very generous price for someone who - if he were to lose his titles before January - should instantly become the betting favourite to be the Rumble winner.
With all that said, BetOnline considers Reigns an odds-on favourite to be in possession of the straps (or one of the straps should the titles be split by then) on December 31st.
The updated table, reflecting the dip for Sikoa, can be seen below.
Prices correct as of 2:30PM BST on Monday April 10th from BetOnline's Pro Wrestling Page.
