Who are the favorites of the bettors for WWE Payback?
With just over twenty-four hours until the celebration of the WWE Payback PPV, two very important international betting houses are hosting predictions from professional wrestling fans or simply avid gamblers. Vince McMahon's company has managed to put together a good lineup for their show following WrestleMania 32 and, a priori, it is difficult to decide who to bet on.
In the main event of the PPV, we will see Roman Reigns defending the WWE Heavyweight Championship against AJ Styles, the number one contender for the title. According to the bettors' criteria, the clear favorite in this match is the champion, as they would understand that it is unlikely for him to lose the belt in the first defense of his third reign. It remains to be seen if this will happen, as WWE usually surprises us in their events and we could see an unprecedented bet on the former NJPW and TNA wrestler as the face of the company.
Will AJ Styles be able to take the top title from Roman Reigns?
As for the secondary titles, Ryback is the favorite among gamblers to take the United States Championship from Kalisto in what would be a rematch of their previous match at WrestleMania. On the other hand, predictions for the Intercontinental title match are heated, as the odds between The Miz and Cesaro are completely equal. Remember that The Miz began his reign as champion on the Raw following the grand event and Cesaro returned from an injury on the same show.
In the middle-upper card matches, Dean Ambrose has the financial confidence of many to win against Chris Jericho. Meanwhile, Sami Zayn has a slight advantage over his rival Kevin Owens for their match, although this prediction could change in the coming hours. WWE Champion Charlotte is the favorite to retain her new women's title against Natalya, with legends Ric Flair and Bret Hart watching.
Charlotte's reign in WWE seems to have no end.
In the lower card, bettors believe that The Vaudevillains will win the tournament and become the next contenders for the WWE Tag Team Championship ahead of Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Finally, all the confidence is with Baron Corbin in his match against Dolph Ziggler, as it is unlikely that "The Lone Wolf" will end his positive streak. Below you can see the complete information with the odds and the favorites in bold. As a clarification, positive odds indicate the amount that a bettor would win when betting €100 (in European betting houses, dollars in the US), and negative odds indicate the amount that a player would have to bet to win the indicated amount:
