Several websites have released the Betting Odds for WWE Great Balls Of Fire, as of Thursday evening. Brock Lesnar has very high odds of a succesful title defense against Samoa Joe. Braun Strowman is currently a heavy favorite to defeat Roman Reigns as well, which is interesting since Roman is booked to face the winner of Brock vs Joe at SummerSlam. It makes me wonder if Strowman will be added to the mix in a triple threat match or if they have some other big plan for Strowman at SummerSlam.


The current favorites are as follows (credit goes to WWELeaks):


The Miz (favorite, 14 to 1 chance he wins)
Dean Ambrose (11 to 2 chance he loses)


Alexa Bliss (favorite, 18 to 1 chance she wins)
Sasha Banks (6 to 1 chance she loses)


Big Cass (favorite, 14 to 1 chance he wins)
Enzo Amore (11 to 2 chance he loses)


Cesaro and Sheamus (favorites, 25 to 1 chance they win)
Hardys (15 to 2 chances they lose)


Seth Rollins (favorite, 7 to 1 chance he wins)
Bray Wyatt (4 to 1 chance he loses)


Braun Strowman (favorite, 8 to 1 chance he wins)
Roman Reigns (9 to 2 chance he loses)


Brock Lesnar (favorite, 25 to 1 chance he wins)
Samoa Joe (17 to 2 chance to he loses)

does anyone expect any upset/surprises

I was expecting Roman to be the favorite in the Ambulance match.

Still going with him for Tipsters.

[Nicky Fives]

I don't see Cass winning, even though he should....

[slik]

I wonder what they are doing with the Hardy Boyz...their return video from WM33 has nearly 18 million views and Cesaro/Sheamus are favorites to win 25 to 1. Seems like the Hardy Boyz lose a lot tbh.

[ClockShot]

I'm still under the impression the Hardys are getting the Dudley Boys treatment. Return for a year or so, maybe get a tag title run in, and just call it a career.

I figured they would give Jeff a singles push at some point...seems like Brock suplexing Jeff on a B-ppv is a thing they should do.

Random Factoid: Jeff Hardy sold more merch during his single run than CM Punk did during his main-event run!

[Volare]

These are the answers to Tipsters?

[slik]

Probably - They are usually almost always spot-on. Sometimes they change the day of the show or the night before if Vince changes his mind on something, but have been pretty on-the-money the last 6 months or so.

Those 'in the know' seem to bet heavily on the outcomes, the 'smart money'.

No surprise there, remember what he did to Umaga outside the arena brother?

[slik]

U know I do!

[Big Vic]

Feels like Cass should attack Enzo before the match and save their official encounter for summer slam.

[Destor]

Feels like Cass and Enzo should reunite and save their match for TNA

Roman/Strowman feels like the one that gets decided hours before the event and mainly because the rumors of WWE rethinking stuff for SummerSlam.

[DAMN iNATOR]

According to a story I saw on "WrestleTalk TV" on YT, the reason for Braun potentially going over Roman may be because Vince is uncertain/having second thoughts with regards to having Brock v. Reigns at SummerSlam.

It seems ridiculous to me, but they seemed to speculate that Vince might want to run Brock v. Braun, which while it would be a clash of two behemoths and quite the spectacle, and while Braun has been awesome lately, there's still part of me asking why. Also IIRC, they mentioned that Vince had maybe at one point pondered a fatal 4-way at SummerSlam of Strowman v. Rollins v. Bálor v. Lesnar :::©::: and/or a triple threat similar to the above but no Braun.

I'm taking everything I hear with a sizeable grain of salt right now though.
