WWE returns to the road this Sunday with its first ever live pay-per-view since August, last year, check out the predictions and betting odds for Money in the Bank 2021
While the Smackdown Women’s Title match has been dropped due to the number one contender Bayley’s injury, the match card for the PPV looks pretty good with many important contests. Although, one spot is still left to be filled in the Women’s Ladder Match. Read on to know the betting odds for all the matches and our predictions for the same.
WWE Money in the Bank 2021 Betting Odds, Tips And Predictions
The latest betting odds for these Money in the Bank matches are brought to you, courtesy of BetOnline.
WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (-1000) vs. Kofi Kingston (+525)
As much as I would love WWE to pull of something unexpected, underdogs like Kingston hardly win PPV title matches against dominant champions like Lashley. No doubt, Kofi’s run to the top has always been a delight to watch but he’s not given big wins. And with Summerslam coming up ahead, it’s likely that this match is only a filler feud.
Prediction: Bobby Lashley
Raw Women’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (-140) vs. Charlotte Flair (+100)
Despite being a champion since April, Rhea Ripley’s reign has only revolved around Asuka and Charlotte Flair. She went head-to-head at Hell in a Cell with The Queen who won the match via disqualification. Though, one would expect the company to take the easy way out with a victory to Flair, I feel that this storyline still has a lot of scope with The Nightmare needing fresh challengers. Hence, I go for Ripley, though this time she wins fair-and-square.
Prediction: Rhea Ripley
WWE Universal Championship: Edge (+375) vs. Roman Reigns (-650)
No matter how even the odds are when a Hall of Famer returns and challenges the new face of the company, it’s implicit that they have only returned to pass the baton. Edge had a chance to make history again at Wrestlemania 37 but The Big Dog defeated him and Daniel Bryan with grace. The build-up to this match has been excellent and no doubt the two veterans will put on a memorable show. But in the end, The Head of the Table shall prevail.
Prediction: Roman Reigns
Men’s MITB Ladder Match: Ricochet (+1600) vs. John Morrison (+1200) vs. Riddle (+550) vs. Drew McIntyre (+175) vs. Seth Rollins (+200) vs. Big E (+500) vs. Kevin Owens (+800) vs. King Shinsuke Nakamura (+1200)
So far I’ve been taking the practical approach in listing my predictions, but I’d like to go bold for this one, considering how much the fans and I, myself, am loving one particular storyline on Raw. Say, Randy Orton returns and helps his bro Riddle grab the briefcase. And as Riddle said on Raw Talk this week, he cashes in for the Raw tag team titles instead and RK-Bro finally become the tag champs. It may sound far-fetched but would do wonders for this storyline.
Prediction: Randy Orton helps Riddle win
Women’s MITB Ladder Match: Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya vs. Asuka vs. Naomi vs. Nikki ASH vs. Liv Morgan vs. Zelina Vega vs. TBA
Seeing the way the final spot for this match has been left vacant and will only be filled this less than two days before the PPV, one can’t possibly make a fair prediction without feeling suspicious about the eighth entrant. Normally, I would’ve been gone for Bliss, Asuka or Naomi but that eighth entrant is hard to ignore. And rumors say, it could be either Sasha Banks or Becky Lynch who fill the spot, and they would’ve been my pick even if they weren’t returning.
Prediction: Either Sasha Banks or Becky Lynch returns to fill the final spot and win
Raw Tag Team Championship: AJ Styles and Omos (c) vs. The Viking Raiders
The Viking Raiders Erik and Ivar have been causing a lot of trouble lately for AJ Styles and Omos, making sure they do not win their bouts on Raw. They even cost Styles the opportunity to qualify for the Men’s MITB Ladder Match. Though The Raiders have earned this title match by outlasting four other teams, AJ Styles and Omos would definitely come on them hard and defend the tag team titles successfully.
Prediction: AJ Styles and Omos
