The Bloodline saga has upped the ante on its stakes, with Tribal Combat invoked and both the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the role of the Tribal Chief on the line at WWE SummerSlam in Detroit. Just don’t expect to find too many people who believe those prizes will change hands.
That’s the message from the betting lines at places that post them less than two weeks out from SummerSlam. Betfair has Roman Reigns as a heavy favorite to retain both his treasures when he battles cousin Jey Uso: to the tune of -770 U.S.-style odds for Reigns right now.
Things are much less certain for World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, who is sitting at just -120 for his rematch with Finn Balor. The sportsbooks are also taking into account the idea that Damian Priest may cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase during their bout, though they see him as a big longshot to do that and win the title.
As always, we don’t endorse wagering on pro wrestling since someone already knows the outcomes of matches and there’s no way to guarantee there’s no inside information leaked. That said, the betting odds are fun to examine for insight into the zeitgeist, to see what the masses think will happen.
We’ll add more lines to this post as matches continue to be made official, but here’s where things sit right now, with lines converted into U.S.-style odds.
