One of the stranger things that took place during the recent WWE Draft was Raw Women’s Champions Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley being sent to the opposite shows. That’s raised the possibility of a title swap, though one that might not be necessary if either loses Saturday night at Backlash — though the latest WWE Backlash betting odds show not many expect that to happen.
Belair and Ripley are heavy, heavy favorites over IYO SKY and Zelina Vega, respectively, Saturday night in San Juan. In fact Vega is currently +650 at Betfair, one of the bigger betting underdogs in a WWE title match in some time.
This is the place where we need to put our usual disclaimer: Betting on WWE matches seems silly to us since the outcomes are already known by some, and you’re wagering without that information. However, they are useful and fun barometers of what people believe will happen during upcoming matches, including those scheduled for Puerto Rico this weekend.
While none of the seven matches on the card is really a pick ’em, the closest one is the six-man tag team match pitting Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle against the Bloodline, with the heel group sitting at just +120.
Let’s take a look at all of the WWE Backlash betting lines, converted into U.S.-style odds.
