Wrestlemania Betting Games
It seems a bit ironic that there are betting odds on professional wrestling because the results are pre-determined, but there are. However, two weeks out from Wrestlemania 35, the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is ready to make history, as, for the first time, three women will be in the main event of the show, as RAW champion Ronda Rousey faces Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in the most anticipated women’s match in the lore of professional wrestling.

Becky Lynch (c) vs Shayna Baszler - RAW Women's Championship Match. Shayna Baszler -180 (5/9) Becky Lynch +140 (7/5).
As of now, Lynch, despite being “injured” with a bad knee, is the prohibitive favorite at wrestling gambling sites (-500), while Rousey is at +250 and Flair is at a lofty +800. While the match could fall three distinctly different ways (detailed below), the fact that the Wrestlemania promotional poster and the card itself are dominated by these three women is unprecedented and historic.
Wrestlemania Betting Games To Play
As recently as a year ago, to think that three women would be headlining the WWE’s crown jewel event seemed virtually impossible, but women have made great strides in the business over the last two years. The “women’s revolution” traces back to 2015 when the only women’s match on the Fastlane pay-per-view card lasted just 30 seconds – to the dismay of the 20,000 fans at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The result was a spontaneous Twitter campaign (#GiveDivasAChance) that trended for the next three days. WWE opened its eyes to that surge of fan sentiment and responded.
In the four years since, WWE females transformed from being called “Divas” to simply women wrestlers. The groundswell of popular support for women’s wrestling took off at WWE’s developmental arm NXT, where Lynch, Flair and fellow NXT talents Sasha Banks and Bayley became known as “The Four Horsewomen” – an homage to Flair’s Hall of Fame father (Ric Flair) and the infamous Four Horsemen faction of the 1980s-90s in WCW.
As these four and other talent helped build and expand the women’s roster, the role of women in WWE has become much more pronounced and high-profile rather than mere eye-candy and the age of “bra and panties” matches, setting up the first Wrestlemania main event to feature female talent.
So, who’s going to win? That’s a question that, given the current confusion in WWE storylines, is very much up in the air.
Lynch is viewed as the prohibitive odds favorite (-500 is steep) because, over the last six months, Lynch has played an anti-authority character mindful of the rise of Stone Cold Steve Austin. She has taken to calling herself “The Man” and, while playing a hard-nosed heel character, has become a fan favorite (just like Austin), something that began organically and grew outside of the anticipated storylines. The WWE tends to give its fans what they want in a Wrestlemania main event and the fans have made it clear they want Lynch to win.
Rousey came to WWE in early 2018 and was immediately given a huge push by the company because of her UFC fame and she was an instant fan favorite. However, as fans jumped on the Lynch bandwagon, Rousey unexpectedly became a heel – much to the surprise of Rousey and the WWE brass. Her contract is coming up and, if she is going to continue a full-time role in WWE, it’s likely Vince McMahon would deem she keep the title and prolong the storyline with Lynch and/or Flair.
Flair has also been turned heel by fans because she has had numerous in-ring battles with Lynch, the new WWE badass babyface. Her odds (+800) make sense, but McMahon and Executive V.P. of Talent, Live Events and Creative Paul Levesque (Triple H) both have a soft spot for Ric Flair, who has been battling significant health issues the last couple of years. It wouldn’t be beyond them to tip their hat to The Nature Boy and put his daughter “over” in their marquee event because he may not see many more.

PREDICTION: As of now, our money is on Lynch. Give the fans what they want and keep the potential for multiple storylines with Rousey and Flair moving forward. But, Rousey’s contract future is the wild card.
