Two men will have a shot at becoming the first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion (2023 version) at Night of Champions this Saturday, but it’s anything but a 50-50 tossup over which one is expected to earn that honor.
The consensus is that Seth Rollins is a heavy favorite to leave Jeddah, Saudi Arabia as the victor in his World Heavyweight Championship Tournament final against AJ Styles, and the betting odds from jurisdictions that allow such things bear that out. Betfair has Rollins at 1.25 at the time of this original post, or -400 in American style odds.
Another interesting takeaway is that Brock Lesnar is favored to get revenge for his Backlash defeat at the hands of Cody Rhodes. While not a favorite on the same level as Rollins, there’s a sense that Lesnar will win this go-round, necessitating a rubber match between the two stars — perhaps at SummerSlam in August.
This is the part where we remind everyone that we don’t actually endorse betting on WWE matches, as a bunch of people have knowledge of the outcomes ahead of time, and it seems silly to wager knowing that’s the case. However, we do find the betting lines for premium live events to be informative as a measuring stick for what the general public thinks will happen.
We expect more matches to be added to the card before the weekend, and will update this post if and when they do. For now, let’s take a look at the WWE Night of Champions betting lines for the bouts that have been announced, converted into U.S.-style odds.
