WWE Championship – TLC Match Drew McIntyre © vs AJ Styles Drew McIntyre is 1/6 to win here, giving McIntyre some of the shortest odds of a defending champion all year (yet – incredibly – still not the shortest odds of THIS PPV). A late December show with minimal build is rarely the time to…

WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME! WWE Championship Drew McIntyre © vs Randy Orton There’s not a lot of betting action for the “Biggest Party of the Summer” – almost all of the odds across the card are very short.

Oh Lordy… this is a show built on a concept that it simply can’t or won’t deliver on, and a number of matches where the result can will be either painfully obvious or so odd it can’t be described. Let’s get into it then, eh? The Greatest Ever Wrestling Match Edge vs Randy Orton I’m…
