Wrestlemania Favorites For Every WWE Championship

With only five weeks left until Wrestlemania, the WWE is putting the pieces together for what will surely be a star studded card from top to bottom. Thanks to the 2016 brand split and the new Championships it created, there will likely be more championships at stake at Wrestlemania 33 than in any year of recent memory.

Our friends at BetWrestling.com have released the odds on exactly who will walk out of Wrestlemania with those championships.

As of right now, the only Championship match that has been scheduled is Bray Wyatt defending his WWE Championship against the winner of the Battle Royal that will take place tomorrow night on Smackdown Live. And probably the Royal Rumble winner, Randy Orton, but more on that later.

Before we look at the odds for each championship match, let's go over the rules. A wager of the number on the right of the forward slash would win the number on the left. For example, 1/10 odds mean a $10 bet would win only $1. Where as 10/1 odds would mean a $1 bet wins $10.

Click through the slides to see the odds on favorites for each championship match at Wrestlemania 33.

WWE Champion

orton-sseries


Randy Orton 3/10
Bray Wyatt 13/8
Luke Harper 6/1
John Cena 7/1
AJ Styles 10/1
Baron Corbin 16/1
Dean Ambrose 22/1
The Miz 25/1
Dolph Ziggler 50/1

As we said, all expectations are that Randy Orton will change his mind and find his way back into the WWE Championship match with Bray and a third competitor. If these odds hold true, it's likely that competitor will be none other than former Wyatt family member Luke Harper. Regardless of who is in the match, Randy Orton is currently the heavy favorite to leave Orlando with Smackdown's top prize.

Universal Champion

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar 1/10
Goldberg 6/4
Randy Orton 4/1
Kevin Owens 9/2
Chris Jericho 6/1
Finn Balor 6/1
Roman Reigns 7/1
Braun Strowman 10/1
Triple H 14/1
Seth Rollins 14/1
Undertaker 25/1
Sami Zayn 25/1
Cesaro 33/1
Rusev 40/1
The Rock 50/1
Kofi Kingston 50/1
Sheamus 66/1
Big Cass 66/1
Big Show 80/1

Brock Lesnar leading the way here makes sense considering many believe Goldberg will defeat Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship at Fastlane. An interesting twist to this list is seeing Randy Orton sitting at 4/1 odds. While many believe he will come around to challenging his "master" Bray Wyatt, there is a possibility he could cash in his Royal Rumble win on RAW in an attempt to give the Wyatt Family control over both WWE shows.

US Champion

Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens 1/2
Chris Jericho 1/1(evens)
Sami Zayn 4/1
Samoa Joe 5/1
Finn Balor 14/1
Roman Reigns 14/1
Seth Rollins 16/1
Braun Strowman 16/1
Rusev 33/1
Hulk Hogan 100/1

Whether Owens wins or loses his Universal Championship at Fastlane, you can be sure he is heading for a Wrestlemania showdown with his former BFF, Chris Jericho. Most believe he will lose the red leather strap, which would make him a slight favorite to defeat Y2J for the United States championship.

Hulk Hogan may seem like a ridiculous longshot, but considinger he won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 9 in a match he wasn't even scheduled for, you never know.

Intercontinental Champion

Baron Corbin Wins

Baron Corbin 7/4
Dean Ambrose 10/11
Dolph Ziggler 4/1
The Miz 4/1
Apollo Crews 5/1
AJ Styles 7/1
John Cena 10/1
Chad Gable 16/1
Luke Harper 16/1
Jason Jordan 16/1
Mojo Rawley 20/1
Kalisto 20/1

Baron Corbin is scheduled for a mega-push in 2017 and that is likely to star with him winning his first Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose at Wrestlemania. No surprise there.

RAW Women's Champion

Bayley champ

Bayley 1/2
Charlotte 10/11
Nia Jax 7/2
Sasha Banks 7/2
Paige 10/1
Emma 12/1
Dana Brooke 16/1
Alicia Fox 20/1
Summer Rae 33/1

This may seem like it makes perfect sense considering Bayley is the current champion, but the WWE's favorite hugger is likely to face Charlotte and her pay per view streak at Fastlane, which could mean Bayley has a chance to win back her championship and break Charlotte's streak at Mania.

Considering how many times the Championship has jumped in the past six months, who knows where we'll be in five weeks.

Smackdown Women's Champion

Naomi champ

Naomi 4/7
Becky Lynch 5/4
Alexa Bliss 2/1
Mickie James 9/2
Carmella 7/1
Natalya 8/1
Eva Marie 10/1
Nikki Bella 12/1
Tamina 20/1
Maryse 20/1

Naomi appears to be heading into her hometown as the women's champion. Vegas seems to believe she'll leave there the same way. Considering how often the WWE likes to see babyfaces lose in their hometown, I would put my money on Alexa Bliss.

Tag Team Champions

Neither RAW or Smackdown's Tag Team Championships currently have any odds on the betwrestling.com site, but another interesting bet you can make is on title changes in general. The smart money currently believes there will be at least 6/7 title changes at Wrestlemania.

Number of Titles to Change Hands at Wrestlemania 33.
0-1 Title Changes 16/1
2-3 Title Changes 5/2
4-5 Title Changes 6/4
6-7 Title Changes 1/1(evens)
8-9 Title Changes 10/1

Which Championships are you hoping to see change hands at the Showcase of the Immortals?
