Not very long ago, gambling on pro wrestling odds was a rarity. The most you’d find online would be prop bets for WrestleMania main events, but not much else for the remainder of the year.
That scenario has changed, as there are now betting lines offered for any match that is announced with enough advance notice to give oddsmakers a chance to create them.
Mulitple WWE betting sites create odds for every pay-per-view, as well as matches occurring on television shows like RAW and Smackdown.
Bash In Berlin
This Saturday, World Wrestling Entertainment is putting on their first ever Bash in Berlin PPV. The WWE has focused on Europeon markets following rival-promotion AEW’s expansion into the UK, with a recent show in Scotland and Bash leadup events happening in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The start time will be 1 PM EST on Peacock due to the time difference between the United States and Germany. While no title will be on the line for Drew McIntyre and CM Punk’s rematch at the Bash, they are garnering most of the focus.
The WWE Universe is getting their long-awaited return of CM Punk after an injury delayed his comeback run, and his current rivaly with McIntyre has elevated Drew’s game to new heights.
Strap Match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
- CM Punk -500
- Drew McIntyre +300
The moneyline odds for CM Punk imply he has an 83% chance of winning. If Drew loses the rematch, it could set up a best-of-three finale at Bad Blood on October 5th.
There are three title matches on the Bash in Berlin card where the odds to retain are so astronomically high that earning a profit by gambling on them isn’t reasonable. Gunther, Cody Rhodes, and LA Knight are projected for certain victory against Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, and the WWE Superstar that ends up challenging for the United States Championship.
A championship match where the results are in doubt involves the WWE Women’s Tag Team belts.
Women’s Tag Team Championship Odds
- Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill -140
- Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn (Unholy Union) EVEN
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair lost the Tag Team Championship to the Unholy Union at Clash at the Castle: Scotland back in June. Heat between Belair and Cargill suggested a split, but they enter Bash at Berlin as a slight favorite to earn a second reign with the straps.
Mixed Tag Team Match
- Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley -450
- Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan +275
Will this back-and-forth love triangle between Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley come to a close this weekend? The angle seems to have renewed legs, so probably not, but Priest and Ripley are surefire winners according to the odds.
One element to watch out for is a potential swerve where Rhea helps out Dominik for some reason, making Morgan and Mysterio’s +275 odds a solid sleeper pick for the Bash.
