Another couple of 'Feuds' markets have been created by the oddsmakers from Kambi.
In these specials, customers get the opportunity to wager on the winner - or winners - of potential future matches on the road to WrestleMania 36.
The newest markets are for the next Johnny Gargano versus Tommaso Ciampa match and also a bout that looks to be on its way for WrestleMania weekend: Finn Balor .vs. Walter.
Gargano is a 13/20 favourite while a win for Ciampa will pay out at 11/10.
The Balor/Walter market lists the former as a 13/25 favourite while the leader of Imperium is 13/10.
In a post published on Wednesday, I pointed out new markets were released for the then rumoured WrestleMania matches.
The Goldberg versus Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt versus John Cena markets have now been taken down as the former is confirmed and the latter is as good as confirmed for the first weekend of April.
Goldberg was 7/4 to get a W against Reigns (2/5) while Bray Wyatt was a 7/20 favourite to get a decision over John Cena (19/10).
I backed Cena as I thought he would beat Wyatt to become Universal Champion, but now that their match is not for a title, I believe my bet is no longer looking good at all.
Following Super ShowDown, which saw The Undertaker squash AJ Styles in the last bout of the gauntlet match, the odds for Styles to win their next one-on-one have lowered from 8/5 into 7/5.
A win for The Phenom will now pay out at 1/2, which is up from the 11/25 he was earlier in the week.

Kambi's New 'Feuds' Markets Following Mania 36 Reports/Speculation
In the most recent post, I wrote about a WrestleMania 36 special in which customers of the betting sites with Kambi's pro wrestling markets can gamble on who they believe will wrestle John Cena on April 5th.
The selections are 'Bray Wyatt', 'Bill Goldberg' and 'Any Unlisted'.
The reason why Wyatt and Goldberg are the key names in this market is due to the fact that - after the initially reported John Cena .vs. Elias match turned out to have been changed - speculation began to focus on Wyatt and, to a lesser extent, Goldberg as Cena's Mania dance partners began.
With the two potential match-ups being talked about, Kambi has added the bouts to its 'Road to WrestleMania 36 Feuds' specials.
In these specials, customers get to place wagers on which wrestler will win 'in a singles match between the listed participants' at any point between the day the bet is struck right up to the end of WrestleMania just as long as the match is advertised twenty-four hours before it takes place.
The match market with Bray Wyatt as Cena's opponent lists Cena at 19/10. A win for Wyatt will pay out at 7/20.
Goldberg is 7/5 to beat Cena in the other market. A decision for Cena is being offered at 1/2.
I have backed Cena to win against Bray Wyatt at the 19/10. The best part about these specials as - per the rules - bets will voided should no match between the two participants takes place between now and Mania 36, so I have an out if Wyatt does not end up wrestling Cena.
There are other markets that have been created from Mania reports/speculation and - in the case of Edge versus Randy Orton - storyline direction. Here are the other selections and their respective prices.
AJ Styles 8/5
The Undertaker 11/25
Edge 1/3
Randy Orton 2/1
Bill Goldberg 7/4
Roman Reigns 2/5
The bookmakers have also republished a market that was last seen in the middle of December which had a potential Roman Reigns .vs. Bray Wyatt meeting.
Roman Reigns is still a favourite to win any meeting between the two between now and by the end of WrestleMania. His price has drifted from 2/5 to 4/6. Those looking to back the current Universal Champion can do so by getting 27/25. He was previously 7/4.
It's worth remembering that, as of this past weekend, it no longer looks like Wyatt .vs. Reigns is part of the Mania 36 plans. So, they would have to meet before then for any wagers to have action.

Lesnar .vs. Velasquez Feuds Market Released
Following last night's WWE Championship match - which saw Brock Lesnar squash Kofi Kingston to become titleholder - Cain Velasquez made an appearance and attacked the new champ.
The post-match angle was obviously a setup for a future meeting between the two with Dave Meltzer reporting this morning that the two are set to collide at WWE
Crown Jewel on October 31st.
With the future bout unconfirmed by WWE for now, the oddsmakers from Kambi have added a Lesnar .vs. Velasquez market to their 'Feuds' specials.
These markets allow punters to gamble on the winner of potential matches that could occur between the time the bet is placed right up to the end of WrestleMania 36.
The result will be graded as long as the match is advertised at least twenty-four hours before the show it is a part of is broadcast.
Velasquez has been installed as a 13/20 favourite. A decision for Lesnar will pay out at 11/10.
One key part of the rules of the market is 'Disqualifications draws, count-outs, no contest decisions and/or forefits before the match starts will not count'.
A DQ win for Cain Velasquez is one of the first scenarios I thought of when I came up with ways this match could go, so I'm not sure I'm willing to bet for the time being.

New Kambi Feuds Markets And More
The oddsmakers from Kambi added a trio of new Feuds markets to their specials pages yesterday.
For those who don't know, the 'Feud' specials allow customers to bet on the winner of potential future matches should they take place (and be advertised at least 24 hours beforehand) at any point between the time the bet is struck right up to the end of WrestleMania 36.
The first match that has been priced up is for a possible Brock Lesnar versus Matt Riddle meeting.
This has been drawn up because Riddle has been building support by using social media to say that he wants to go one-on-one with The Beast.
Personally, I doubt it'll happen in time for the WrestleMania 36 cut-off. But, for those who might want a bet, both guys are at 17/20.
The second match that has been created is one I feel has a chance of making it to the SummerSlam card.
Or rather I did.
It's for The Undertaker versus Drew McIntyre. As some visitors might be aware, I backed Shane McMahon and McIntyre to beat Roman Reigns and The Undertaker when they meet at Extreme Rules 2019 this Sunday. I thought the result would lead to Taker going up against McIntyre in August at SummerSlam, but now - after having watched this week's WWE TV - I have a feeling that the babyfaces will win the bout.
Still, it doesn't mean that Taker versus McIntyre cannot happen before next April. As long as the bout is advertised within twenty-four hours of it taking place, any wagers are good to go.
Kambi has positioned McIntyre as an 11/25 favourite. A win for The Undertaker is 6/5.
I don't know when they get there, but I am confident that the third market will end up being a runner.
It's for an Alexa Bliss versus Nikki Cross match.
As I'm sure you're aware, the two have been paired up on television as 'friends' with Bliss seemingly manipulating Cross' trust. They'll meet Bayley, in a two-on-one handicap match for the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship, at Extreme Rules on Sunday night. Whether they win the title and become co-champions or not, I think it's safe to conclude that the end game to the Bliss/Cross story is a breakdown leading to a feud.
Kambi has put Nikki down as a 13/25 favourite. A win for Alexa is priced at 13/10.
Before I finish, I'd like to point out a Feuds market that has been available since mid-May that I've decided to have a bet on.
It's for a possible meeting between Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar's price was cut initially. This is mainly because he become this year's Money in the Bank winner. However, when the market was republished yesterday, it was Rollins' price that was shorter than previous adjustments.
I thought that it was worth a gamble on Lesnar to win against Rollins just in case there is another champion versus champion match at this year's Survivor Series.
A lot of things need to fall into place for the bet to work, but I thought Lesnar at 23/20 is worth a gamble in case both are titleholders come November.
I strongly believe that - if Lesnar and Rollins ever meet again, in a proper match - that the result will be a Lesnar win.
And if they don't wrestle before Mania 36, the bet will be voided.

Angle/Cena And Reigns/McIntyre Feuds Markets Published
Sometime today, Kambi's oddsmakers published two new 'Feuds' markets. One is for Kurt Angle .vs. John Cena and the other is for Drew McIntyre .vs. Roman Reigns.
They were obviously priced up with the idea that these bouts could take place at WrestleMania 35.
On this week's edition of WWE Raw, Kurt Angle announced that he'll wrestle his last match on April 7th. He'll reveal who his opponent will be on the upcoming episode of Raw.
John Cena is the betting favourite to be Angle's WrestleMania dance partner.
As of this evening, the bookies have both men at 17/20 in the Feuds market.
Another thing coming out of Raw was a tease of a match between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre after the latter attacked Reigns before he was set to wrestle Baron Corbin.
The beating strongly hinted that it'll be Reigns versus McIntyre on April 7th.
Reigns is a 1/4 favourite while McIntyre is 5/2.
Kambi's Feuds markets allow customers to bet on potential match-ups before they are confirmed by WWE. For these markets to have action, a bout between the two parties has to be advertised at least twenty-four hours before it occurs. If no qualifying match happens from the moment the bet is settled right up until the end of WrestleMania 35, the bookies will void bets on that particular market.
With bets being voided if a match doesn't happen, I've placed a small wager on Kurt Angle to win against John Cena. If it is Angle .vs. Cena in the former's farewell match, I think it would be a nice send-off for Angle to go with a win.

Samoa Joe Favourite To Meet John Cena At WrestleMania 35 And More
Earlier today, I wrote a post about a republished betting market that gives customers an opportunity to bet on who they think Roman Reigns will compete against at WrestleMania 35.
It isn't the only 'WrestleMania Opponent' market that was put back up today. Kambi's market for John Cena's opponent has returned after last being available in late-January.
After Samoa Joe won the US Championship on the most recent edition of Smackdown, and mentioned Cena in a post-match promo, it is not surprising to see who's the new favourite.
As you can see, the new United States Champion is now a short 1/14 to be Cena's WrestleMania dance partner. He was 8/1 to be in that spot when the market was last made available on January 26th.
Drew McIntyre - who was storyline credited for Cena's injury that forced him out of this year's Royal Rumble - has moved up from 1/3 favourite into 9/4.
Another selection worth noting is Lars Sullivan, who was one of Cena's planned opponents before issues arose that prompted Sullivan to take a leave of absence.
When the market was last up, Sullivan was 2/1. He has now been taken off the board due to his status being in question.
Kambi is also taking bets on Samoa Joe .vs. John Cena in the 'Feuds' specials that are available on the websites with the WWE markets.
They have Joe as a 7/10 favourite to defeat Cena at any point from the time of the bet right up to the end of WrestleMania (the match has to be advertised at least 24 hours before it takes place for the bet to be successful). A decision in favour of Cena will pay out at EVS should the match happen before the end of this year's Mania.

Batista .vs. HHH 'Feud' Market Published Following Smackdown 1,000
On last night's WWE Smackdown 1000, the Evolution faction of Ric Flair, Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista made an appearance for one night only. During the segment, Batista and Triple H teased a potential match after the former pointed out that Triple H has never beaten him.
This tease has led the Kambi oddsmakers to add yet another market to their 'Feud' specials where customers can place wagers on the winner of potential, or not so potential, matches that could take place anytime between the date the bet is struck right up to - and including - WrestleMania 35.
The bookies have installed Batista as an 11/20 favourite over Triple H at 13/10.
It should be worth noting that there have been teases of a Batista versus Triple H match in the past. The last time Batista left WWE in 2014 is a prime example.
If a match doesn't take place between now and the end of Mania on April 7th, bets on either wrestler will be settled as void.

New Feuds Markets From Kambi
The oddsmakers from Kambi have added more Feuds markets.
For those new to these specials - the bookies have listed a selection of potential - and not so potential - matches that could take place at any point between now and the end of WrestleMania 35. If the match occurs within the rules of the market, then bets will be settled on the winner.
As an example - in June, when these specials were first published - the bookies were accepting wagers on a possible Daniel Bryan .vs. The Miz match.
On this week's episode of Smackdown, the bout was confirmed for SummerSlam so - per the rules - this is eligible.
As you can see in the table above, there was back-and-forth action despite Bryan being the favourite throughout.
A regular match market for SummerSlam has now opened with The Miz a favourite. He's 8/13 and Bryan is 23/20.
Back to the five new additions.
Dean Ambrose .vs. Roman Reigns
With Dean Ambrose rumoured to be on his way back to WWE imminently, the bookies have added a market where customers can punt on the winner of a match between he and Roman Reigns.
Ambrose is a 7/5 outsider while Reigns is 1/2.
I suppose there's a chance of them meeting if either one turns heel.
Dean Ambrose .vs. Seth Rollins
I think this one has a good chance of happening because this is what was a rumoured match for WrestleMania 34 before Ambrose was injured. It wouldn't surprise me if WWE tries to go with this match for Mania 35.
They've placed Ambrose as a 7/10 favourite. A win for Rollins will pay out at EVS.
Dolph Ziggler .vs. Drew McIntyre
This has to happen, right? The bookies have McIntyre as a 4/9 favourite while the current WWE Intercontinental Champion is 6/4.
The Rock .vs. Elias
There's a good reason why this one has been done even though I don't think any bets on this market will be settled as winners. It's because Elias has been mentioning The Rock on TV. With that said, I don't think this will turn into anything other than an angle or something. At best, it'll be something like The Rock .vs. Erick Rowan from WrestleMania 32 where it's a quick surprise win. It's important to note that, if The Rock and Elias have an impromptu meeting like the Mania 32 match Rock had with Rowan, then it won't count as - per the rules - the match has to be advertised at least 24 hours before the show it takes place.
They've priced Rock at 1/10 to Elias' 9/2.
The Rock .vs. Roman Reigns
If The Rock is coming back for one more match, then this should be it. They have listed Rock as a 7/4 outsider. A successful bet on Reigns will pay out 2/5. Unlike the Elias thing, if - and it's a big IF - it's Rock versus Reigns, it'll obviously be announced in enough time for bets to stand.
The markets can be found under 'Feuds (Road to WrestleMania 35) on the websites that publish Kambi's Wrestling odds. A couple of examples can be found below.

The markets can be found under 'Feuds (Road to WrestleMania 35) on the websites that publish Kambi's Wrestling odds. A couple of examples can be found below.

Bet On Reigns/Lashley III*
*Rules apply.
If you'd like to bet on the next potential meeting between Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley, Kambi has you covered.
When the oddsmakers republished their WWE betting markets yesterday, they added a 'Roman Reigns .vs. Bobby Lashley' market back into their 'Feud' specials where customers can place wagers on potential - and not so potential - matchups that could take place over the next few months heading into WrestleMania 35.
The refreshed market opened with Roman Reigns a 4/9 favourite. A victory for Lashley will pay out at odds of 6/4.
The first-ever Reigns .vs. Lashley Feud market opened with Reigns at 8/13 and Lashley at 23/20 when it was priced up on June 23rd.
Bobby Lashley was the winning selection as he was the victor in their first meeting on July 15th at Extreme Rules 2018.

AJ Styles .vs. Samoa Joe Confirmed For SummerSlam
AJ Styles versus Samoa Joe - for the WWE Championship - was confirmed for SummerSlam 2018 during last night's episode of Smackdown.
Now that the match is scheduled for August 19th, a 'Feud' market -found on the websites that publish betting odds from Kambi - will now be removed.
The special market was first published in June with Joe a 7/10 favourite to defeat the current WWE Champion. In it, customers could place wagers on the wrestler they believed will win the next meeting between the two.
As you can see in the table above, the punters were on a Joe win throughout the times when the market was available. It closed, on Tuesday, with Joe an 11/20 favourite to win the match.

Lesnar/Reigns On For SummerSlam And More
Roman Reigns will challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2018 on August 19th.
The Big Dog booked his place as Lesnar's opponent after beating Bobby Lashley in the main event of last night's Raw.
As most visitors are aware, Sky Bet and the oddsmakers from Kambi had markets up for last night's contest.
Kambi's markets were taken down at around 5PM BST last night. They closed with Reigns a 4/9 favourite. Sky Bet - on the other hand - had their match odds up until around 10PM with Reigns closing as a 2/5 favourite.
Lashley closed at 6/4 (Kambi) and 7/4 (Sky Bet).
Kambi also accepted wagers on how last night's match would conclude. I had a feeling that the bout would end in a no contest to set up a triple threat between Lesnar, Lashley and Reigns, but this didn't come to fruition. Reigns won via pinfall.
The eventual winning selection closed at EVS. It had started out as an 8/13 favourite.
With Lesnar versus Reigns now confirmed for SummerSlam, this means that the 'Feud' market where customers could place wagers on who would win any future match between the two will now be absent whenever these markets are republished.
As you can see in the table below, despite remaining an underdog throughout, the customers had backed Lesnar winning the next meeting. He started off at 4/1 and was down to 5/2 before closing yesterday evening.
Seeing Lesnar backed in the market was very surprising. Based on storyline, a one-on-one match between Lesnar and Reigns has to see Roman Reigns finally prevail after his previous failed attempts.
Sky Bet is the first to put up odds for the match. The firm has placed Reigns as an 8/11 favourite to Brock Lesnar's EVS.
On last night's Raw, it was announced that Braun Strowman will put up his Money in the Bank briefcase against Kevin Owens at SummerSlam.
From a betting perspective, the holder of the briefcase - at the time of the contract being executed - has no bearing on how any Money in the Bank cash-ins are settled. If Owens winds up winning the briefcase on August 19th, any bets on a cash-in will still be in play.
While on the topic, Kambi's market - where clients can place bets on the show the briefcase is cashed in was adjusted yesterday with the selection for the Money in the Bank holder executing his contract on 'Raw or Smackdown' having been lowered.
The Big Dog booked his place as Lesnar's opponent after beating Bobby Lashley in the main event of last night's Raw.
As most visitors are aware, Sky Bet and the oddsmakers from Kambi had markets up for last night's contest.
Kambi's markets were taken down at around 5PM BST last night. They closed with Reigns a 4/9 favourite. Sky Bet - on the other hand - had their match odds up until around 10PM with Reigns closing as a 2/5 favourite.
Lashley closed at 6/4 (Kambi) and 7/4 (Sky Bet).
Kambi also accepted wagers on how last night's match would conclude. I had a feeling that the bout would end in a no contest to set up a triple threat between Lesnar, Lashley and Reigns, but this didn't come to fruition. Reigns won via pinfall.

The eventual winning selection closed at EVS. It had started out as an 8/13 favourite.
With Lesnar versus Reigns now confirmed for SummerSlam, this means that the 'Feud' market where customers could place wagers on who would win any future match between the two will now be absent whenever these markets are republished.
As you can see in the table below, despite remaining an underdog throughout, the customers had backed Lesnar winning the next meeting. He started off at 4/1 and was down to 5/2 before closing yesterday evening.

While on the topic, Kambi's market - where clients can place bets on the show the briefcase is cashed in was adjusted yesterday with the selection for the Money in the Bank holder executing his contract on 'Raw or Smackdown' having been lowered.
A cash-in on either of WWE's main TV shows went down to 3s from 4/1. A PPV or a cash-in on any other WWE show remains a favourite, but it has moved up from 1/8 to 1/5.
While I was writing about the Bobby Lashley .vs. Roman Reigns match, I prefaced what I wrote with an 'on paper, it should be a Roman Reigns win'. Well, in regards to Strowman .vs. Kevin Owens at SummerSlam - on paper - it looks like a Braun Strowman win considering he 'lost' to Kevin Owens at Extreme Rules.
With that said - and I know I'm contradicting what I usually do by not buying too much stock in releases that are sent to arenas months in advance - Roman Reigns versus Kevin Owens is one of the matches that was sent to the arena that is hosting Hell in a Cell on September 18th. So, I shall have that somewhere in the back of my mind when watching the story unfold on Raw as we head towards SummerSlam.
Sky Bet's market for Strowman versus Owens was published as I was finishing up this post. It has opened with Strowman a short-priced favourite at 1/3. A successful bet on Owens will pay out at 9/4.

Kambi WWE Updates For July 10th And 11th
There have been a number of adjustments made to some of Kambi's WWE markets on both July 10th and 11th so I thought I'd publish this post with notes pointing out these changes. I apologise in advance, but this could be full of text with no images because I haven't gotten around to updating my spreadsheets properly with these notes
Money in the Bank Cash-In Betting
The bookies have changed the price for the 'Show of Cash-in'. They have cut 'Raw or Smackdown' from 4/1 into 5/2 while the other selection 'PPV/WWE Network or Other' has been lifted to 1/4 from 1/8.
It makes sense to see the TV option moving down what with the mystery over Brock Lesnar's status in regards to future dates with WWE.
Road to WrestleMania Betting (Ronda Rousey)
The odds for Ronda Rousey to win either the Raw or Smackdown Women's Championship in the period after SummerSlam, but before this year's Survivor Series has been cut from 3/1 into 2/1.
As a result, these selections have drifted out:
- Between the day after Money in the Bank, but before SummerSlam (13/2 to 8/1)
- Between Survivor Series, but before Royal Rumble 2019 (10/1 to 15/1)
- Between Royal Rumble 2019, but before WrestleMania 35 (10/1 to 12/1)
The following selections are unchanged:
- During SummerSlam 4/6
- During WrestleMania 35 1/2
- No Title win before end of WrestleMania 35 5/1
Road to WrestleMania Betting (Daniel Bryan)
Just like with Ronda Rousey's Road the WrestleMania market, the bookies have snipped the price for Daniel Bryan to win either the WWE or Universal Championship following SummerSlam, but before the Survivor Series as the price has dropped from 6/1 into 5/1.
This isn't the only selection to have shorter pricing to when it was last adjusted. The 'During WrestleMania 35' odds are now at 1/2. It was at 11/20 last week.
The selections that have drifted out are:
- Between the day after Money in the Bank, but before SummerSlam 2018 (15/2 to 8/1)
- During SummerSlam (11/10 to 13/10)
The non-movers are:
- Between Survivor Series, but before Royal Rumble 15/1
- Between Royal Rumble, but before WrestleMania 35 15/1
- No title win before end of WrestleMania 35 EVS
Ronda Rousey's Conqueror
The market where customers can place wagers on the time when Ronda Rousey loses a match has had the option to bet on the loss taking place 'Between day after SummerSlam, but before Survivor Series' cut from 15/1 into 7/1. This is interesting considering, if you look above, they've also cut the odds for Rousey to become a champion in this period.
With this selection moving in, the bookies have increased the following:
- Between day after Money in the Bank, but before SummerSlam 2018 (7/1 from 8/1)
- During SummerSlam 2018 (7/4 from 6/4)
- Between Survivor Series, but before Royal Rumble 2019 (20/1 from 17/1)
The unchanged selections are:
- Between Royal Rumble, but before WrestleMania 35 25/1
- During WrestleMania 35 9/10
- No defeat until after end of WrestleMania 35 1/4
Daniel Bryan's Conqueror
The bookmakers have taken down one of the Daniel Bryan Conqueror markets.
For some reason, and I don't know how long this will be for, customers cannot bet on the time-frame when Daniel Bryan suffers his next loss in a qualifying singles match. You can, however, still place bets on the person who you believe will get the result over him.
Since the most recent Daniel Bryan Conqueror update, John Cena has been halved from 8/1. As a result, the following selections have drifted out:
- Shinsuke Nakamura (4/1 to 5/1)
- Andrade 'Cien' Almas (12/1 to 15/1)
- Batista (20/1 to 25/1)
- Triple H (20/1 to 25/1)
The Miz remains a 5/4 favourite.
Feuds
There has been some activity in the 'Feud' markets.
- The odds for Bobby Lashley to defeat Braun Strowman have dropped from 7/4 into 6/4. While a win for Strowman will now pay out at 4/9 - a slight increase from 2/5.
- Roman Reigns' odds to win against Seth Rollins, when they next meet up (and if it qualifies per the rules of the bet), have continued to decline. When I last wrote about them, they had moved from 3/4 into 4/6. They're now at 8/13. A winning bet on Rollins will now pay out at 23/20. He had started at 19/20 but stopped at 27/25 for a while.
- On the topic of Reigns, he has continued to drift out in the market for his next match with Brock Lesnar (if it happens). You can see how Lesnar's price has dropped below. Prices remain as they were on July 10th.
- There is also a new 'Feud' special available. It's for a potential match between Sasha Banks and Bayley. It has opened with Banks an 8/13 favourite. Bayley is 23/20. Despite both doing the counselling skits, it makes sense for these two to wrestle at SummerSlam as it'll be nearly three years to the day that they had a match at the NXT TakeOver Brooklyn show in the same building (Barclays Center).
And that's all for now. There are other things I'm planning to get through, but I think they are worth posts of their own. Keep your eyes peeled.
Money in the Bank Cash-In Betting
The bookies have changed the price for the 'Show of Cash-in'. They have cut 'Raw or Smackdown' from 4/1 into 5/2 while the other selection 'PPV/WWE Network or Other' has been lifted to 1/4 from 1/8.

- During SummerSlam 4/6

WWE Feuds Betting Update For July 9th
Following UFC 226 on Sunday morning, I checked in with all of the Kambi oddsmakers markets and made note of the prices. One of the 'Road to WrestleMania - Feuds' specials had changed since that time, so - in this post - I'll open with this special and then work my way around all of the other 'Feud' odds.
Before I begin - if you don't know what the Road to WrestleMania Feud markets are, it's explained in THIS POST.
As we now know, UFC 226 contained a setup of a Brock Lesnar versus Daniel Cormier match for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. I made a point of noting all of the odds at 7:30AM BST because I anticipated prices to have changed as soon as the news of Lesnar/Cormier started to sweep through.
I was mildly surprised when I looked at the odds for the Lesnar .vs. Reigns Feud market.
Sometime between 9PM BST on Saturday night and the aforementioned 7:30AM on Sunday morning, Lesnar's odds to win his next potential match with Reigns dipped from 4/1 into 19/5 while his opponent was moved up to 2/15 from 1/8.
The price for Lesnar to get another decision over Reigns has once again lowered, as of 1PM this afternoon, as it is now 7/2. A win for Reigns will now pay out at odds of 2/13.
As I've written many times when covering the Lesnar/Reigns feud, the latter has failed enough times and should really go over if they ever cross paths. Whether it happens imminently is the question. For bets, to stand, the match has to take place at any point between now and the end of WrestleMania 35 (there are other qualifying rules that I recommend reading in this post). Should this rematch not take place before then, any bets will be voided.
Here are some notes about the other feud markets that are online.
AJ Styles .vs. Daniel Bryan
This has been going the way of Daniel Bryan. His price started off at 13/20 on June 23rd, fell to 8/13 by the 27th and was moved to 3/5 by July 7th.
Styles has moved out from 11/10 to 23/20 to 6/5 in this time.
AJ Styles .vs. Samoa Joe
This is what I believe the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam will be. The action has gone the way of Samoa Joe as he was 7/10 on June 23rd and is now at 13/20. A win for Styles has increased from EVS to 11/10.
Bobby Lashley .vs. Brock Lesnar
Another match I originally thought would take place at SummerSlam, but now I am unsure.
It's Bobby Lashley who has moved here. His odds have fallen from the opening 4/6 into 8/13. A victory for the current Universal Champion has moved to 23/20 from 27/25.
Daniel Bryan .vs. Roman Reigns
Reigns' odds to get a result over Bryan have declined from 17/20 (June 26th) to 4/5 (June 27th) and were at 3/4 when the market was republished.
A Bryan win will now pay out at 19/20. It opened at 17/20, but had risen to 9/10 by the following day.
Daniel Bryan .vs. Samoa Joe
This has see-sawed.
The first sign of action came in favour of Daniel Bryan getting the decision over Samoa Joe as his odds fell to 19/20 from EVS within the first day. He has since moved back up to his opening price.
Joe drifted to 3/4 before landing back at 7/10.
Daniel Bryan .vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
The customers have seemingly backed Bryan to get a decision over Shinsuke Nakamura if they ever meet between the time of the bet being struck and the end of WrestleMania 35.
Bryan's odds opened at 11/20, went to 13/25 in their first day and is now at 1/2. As a result, a win for Shinsuke Nakamura has moved from 5/4 to 28/20 and currently rests at 7/5.
Daniel Bryan .vs. The Miz
This is a match that many people are expecting to see play out in the not too distant future. The first sign of action has gone in favour of the babyface as he has lowered from 13/20 to 8/13.
A win for The Miz opened at 11/10 but has risen to 23/20.
Roman Reigns .vs. Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns has dipped from 3/4 into 4/6 to get the W in his next match with Seth Rollins. A victory for the latter will pay out at 27/25 after opening at a slightly shorter 19/20.
Alexa Bliss .vs. Ronda Rousey
Yet another potential SummerSlam match-up. Unsurprisingly, the bettors have backed Ronda Rousey to win against the current WWE Raw Women's Champion. The favourite opened at 1/5, fell to 1/6 and is now at 2/13.
Alexa Bliss is now 7/2, but opened at 3/1 before spending time at 13/4.
Charlotte Flair .vs. Ronda Rousey
A Charlotte Flair .vs. Ronda Rousey match is a betting favourite to headline WrestleMania 35. The punters have sided with Flair to win this one as her odds have moved down from 7/4 into 7/5. A win for Ronda will now payout at 1/2 which is a slight increase from 2/5.
All other markets - apart from Bobby Lashley .vs. Roman Reigns because it is now official for Extreme Rules 2018 - remain unchanged from the day they first went live. They are:
Bobby Lashley 7/4
Braun Strowman 2/5
Braun Strowman 1/4
Brock Lesnar 5/2
Braun Strowman 7/10
Daniel Bryan EVS
Brock Lesnar 17/20
Daniel Bryan 17/20
John Cena 2/13
The Undertaker 7/2
Asuka 7/10
Charlotte Flair EVS
Asuka 11/5
Ronda Rousey 3/10
Ronda Rousey 1/16
Stephanie McMahon 6/1
For what it's worth, the Bobby Lashley versus Roman Reigns market opened with Lashley a 23/20 underdog to Reigns' 8/13.
Before I begin - if you don't know what the Road to WrestleMania Feud markets are, it's explained in THIS POST.
As we now know, UFC 226 contained a setup of a Brock Lesnar versus Daniel Cormier match for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. I made a point of noting all of the odds at 7:30AM BST because I anticipated prices to have changed as soon as the news of Lesnar/Cormier started to sweep through.

AJ Styles .vs. Samoa Joe
This is what I believe the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam will be. The action has gone the way of Samoa Joe as he was 7/10 on June 23rd and is now at 13/20. A win for Styles has increased from EVS to 11/10.
Bobby Lashley .vs. Brock Lesnar
Another match I originally thought would take place at SummerSlam, but now I am unsure.
It's Bobby Lashley who has moved here. His odds have fallen from the opening 4/6 into 8/13. A victory for the current Universal Champion has moved to 23/20 from 27/25.
Daniel Bryan .vs. Roman Reigns
Reigns' odds to get a result over Bryan have declined from 17/20 (June 26th) to 4/5 (June 27th) and were at 3/4 when the market was republished.
A Bryan win will now pay out at 19/20. It opened at 17/20, but had risen to 9/10 by the following day.
Daniel Bryan .vs. Samoa Joe
This has see-sawed.
The first sign of action came in favour of Daniel Bryan getting the decision over Samoa Joe as his odds fell to 19/20 from EVS within the first day. He has since moved back up to his opening price.

Daniel Bryan .vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
The customers have seemingly backed Bryan to get a decision over Shinsuke Nakamura if they ever meet between the time of the bet being struck and the end of WrestleMania 35.
Bryan's odds opened at 11/20, went to 13/25 in their first day and is now at 1/2. As a result, a win for Shinsuke Nakamura has moved from 5/4 to 28/20 and currently rests at 7/5.
Daniel Bryan .vs. The Miz
This is a match that many people are expecting to see play out in the not too distant future. The first sign of action has gone in favour of the babyface as he has lowered from 13/20 to 8/13.
A win for The Miz opened at 11/10 but has risen to 23/20.
Roman Reigns .vs. Seth Rollins
Roman Reigns has dipped from 3/4 into 4/6 to get the W in his next match with Seth Rollins. A victory for the latter will pay out at 27/25 after opening at a slightly shorter 19/20.
Alexa Bliss .vs. Ronda Rousey
Yet another potential SummerSlam match-up. Unsurprisingly, the bettors have backed Ronda Rousey to win against the current WWE Raw Women's Champion. The favourite opened at 1/5, fell to 1/6 and is now at 2/13.
Alexa Bliss is now 7/2, but opened at 3/1 before spending time at 13/4.
Charlotte Flair .vs. Ronda Rousey
A Charlotte Flair .vs. Ronda Rousey match is a betting favourite to headline WrestleMania 35. The punters have sided with Flair to win this one as her odds have moved down from 7/4 into 7/5. A win for Ronda will now payout at 1/2 which is a slight increase from 2/5.

Note About The Extreme Rules Multi-Person Match Markets And More
I've had a couple of people ask me about the status of the bets they've placed on Sky Bet's multi-person contenders match market for the bout that had been scheduled to take place at WWE Extreme Rules in a few weeks. Going by last night's episode of Raw, it appears as though there has been a change of plan and the story has gone off in a new direction.
As for these bets, they will end up being voided if a multi-person match to determine a number one contender to the Universal Championship doesn't take place at Extreme Rules. Until then, they should remain open until the end of the July 15th show.
This is usual for sportsbooks. The most recent example I can refer to is the company's match market for the Greatest Royal Rumble bout between Chris Jericho and The Undertaker that was made after initially being announced with Rusev taking on The Phenom. When Rusev .vs. Taker was put back on the card, bets on Jericho .vs. Taker remained unsettled until after the event.
If the direction goes the way it seems to be headed, I expect we'll see Roman Reigns versus Bobby Lashley at Extreme Rules. If so, this will be the first time we'll get to see a Kambi Feud market play out. As noted over the weekend, the bookies have installed Reigns as a favourite to win this meeting - should it take place anytime between the moment of the bet being placed and the end of WrestleMania 35 - as he is 8/13 to Lashley's 23/20.
Paul Heyman posted a long, for want of a better word, promo on Facebook over the weekend. In this post, he reiterated that Roman Reigns has failed three times to beat Brock Lesnar and also spent a sizeable portion of it mentioning Bobby Lashley.
If the match between Reigns and Lashley - if it happens at Extreme Rules - is to see who'll challenge Lesnar at SummerSlam, if Lesnar is defending on August 19th, then this would allow another one of two possible 'feud' markets to be settled.
The market for Reigns versus Lesnar had the former a 1/8 favourite while Lesnar was out at 4/1. A Lashley versus Lesnar match had Lashley at 4/6 to Lesnar's 27/25.
I'm sure we'll get a clear idea of Raw's Extreme Rules main event landscape next week, but - as of right now - it seems as though that multi-man match is off.
As for these bets, they will end up being voided if a multi-person match to determine a number one contender to the Universal Championship doesn't take place at Extreme Rules. Until then, they should remain open until the end of the July 15th show.

The market for Reigns versus Lesnar had the former a 1/8 favourite while Lesnar was out at 4/1. A Lashley versus Lesnar match had Lashley at 4/6 to Lesnar's 27/25.
I'm sure we'll get a clear idea of Raw's Extreme Rules main event landscape next week, but - as of right now - it seems as though that multi-man match is off.

Kambi's New 'Feuds' Specials
The oddsmakers from Kambi have installed intriguing Road to WrestleMania markets today titled 'Feuds'.
The theme is called 'Feuds' because it consists of potential match-ups that could take place on WWE programming over the next few months as we head toward next year's WrestleMania.
Before I go into this, I believe it's worth putting up the rules of these markets because it has potential controversy written all over it.
The bets refer to 'the first to obtain a victory in a singles match' between the listed participants. To win the match, the selection has to be victorious by pinfall, submission or ref stoppage. Results like disqualifications, count-outs don't count. Neither do no contests or draws.
To qualify, the matches have to be announced at least twenty-four hours before the event they take place on. Therefore, if you see a Smackdown match announced during Raw, this doesn't count (this is the same with other specials).
In this particular market, they've also discounted any non-title matches that might take place BEFORE an already confirmed title match has occurred. I guess the rule about matches needing at least twenty-four hour notice will cover this because I doubt a match that is already confirmed for a pay-per-view would be given build (it's more likely it'll be set up during the show).
If none of the qualifying matches take place at any point between the bet being struck and WrestleMania 35, bets will be declared void.
That's the gist. I advise reading it all in the image above and on the websites before placing your wagers.
With that out of the way, here are all of the potential matches and their odds. I'll add some ramblings below the matches that strike me.
AJ Styles 11/10
Daniel Bryan 13/20
AJ Styles EVS
Samoa Joe 7/10
We've already seen Joe announce his intention to go after Styles after the former was transferred to Smackdown. It should go without saying that we're getting this match, in some form, before the end of next year's WrestleMania.
Bobby Lashley 7/4
Braun Strowman 2/5
Bobby Lashley 23/20
Roman Reigns 8/13
Something might happen with Lashley and Reigns. They were both out there on Monday night when Kurt Angle announced the multi-person match for Extreme Rules. Whether it happens in the time frame for the bets to be considered runners is another thing entirely.
Bobby Lashley 4/6
Brock Lesnar 27/25
When it was first reported that Bobby Lashley was coming back, this was the match that the reports said had the chance of happening. I suppose Lashley would have to win the Extreme Rules. Unless, of course, Lesnar extends his contract. Still, it would have to take place before the end of Mania. To be fair - I could see this being Lesnar's match at Mania if he is still with the company in April.
Braun Strowman 1/4
Brock Lesnar 5/2
Remember what I wrote about controversy? Well - some of Kambi's markets factor in potential Money in the Bank cash ins. They don't here. What if Lesnar retains the Universal Championship at SummerSlam and Strowman cashes in immediately afterwards? Going by the ruling, it won't count.
Braun Strowman 7/10
Daniel Bryan EVS
Brock Lesnar 17/20
Daniel Bryan 17/20
Doubt this will happen, but if it did, the odds for Daniel Bryan are too high. I make this assumption because of how Vince McMahon wanted to book Bryan .vs. Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014. He wanted it to be a one-sided squash. John Cena was put in that position instead due to Bryan being injured.
Brock Lesnar 4/1
Roman Reigns 1/8
This is likely and the odds are spot on because Reigns has to get that W back.
Daniel Bryan 17/20
Roman Reigns 17/20
Daniel Bryan EVS
Samoa Joe 7/10
We've already seen these two go at it this year and we're likely going to see them one-on-one. Whether it'll qualify per the rules is another thing, though.
Daniel Bryan 11/20
Shinsuke Nakamura 5/4
Can see this happening.
Daniel Bryan 13/20
The Miz 11/10
This is happening. And it will happen in the time-frame.
John Cena 2/13
The Undertaker 7/2
Roman Reigns 3/4
Seth Rollins 19/20
Wouldn't surprise me if this is the Universal Championship match at WrestleMania 35.
Alexa Bliss 3/1
Ronda Rousey 1/5
This will obviously happen.
Asuka 7/10
Charlotte Flair EVS
If it happens again, does Asuka get her win back?
Asuka 11/5
Ronda Rousey 3/10
Can no longer see this happening for a while.
Charlotte Flair 7/4
Ronda Rousey 2/5
The favourite to headline WrestleMania 35.
Ronda Rousey 1/16
Stephanie McMahon 6/1
Prices correct as of the time of publication. If available, you'll find the markets under 'Feuds (Road to WrestleMania)' on the websites that publish Kambi's WWE specials.
