WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 Betting Odds, Preview and Picks (Archive)
We’re heading to Saudi Arabia as WWE’s multi-year, multi-million dollar deal to bring sports entertainment to the country continues, this time with a major annual pay-per-view and not an event specifically made for the region, as The Elimination Chamber returns this Saturday night.
Gonna tell you now, a lot of things on this card are not smart bets, not because it’s not smart booking, but the odds via BetOnline (visit our BetOnline Review) have basically confirmed for anyone with a decent brain between their heads that we’re gonna see a lot of business as usual on the third WWE “
I’d suggest betting on Roman Reigns against Goldberg, but my man is a -1250 favorite against Goldberg who is a +550 underdog according to BetOnline. With all signs pointing to a Roman and Brock rematch to headline WrestleMania, one has to think that Goldberg will not do what he has done to nearly EVERY WWE Universal Champion he’s faced to date with the title on the line.
When you look at the other matches on the card Lita being a +575 underdog against Becky Lynch makes sense, but with Ronda Rousey in-line to face Charlotte at WrestleMania, do they pull the shock finish here and set up something major for WrestleMania or does something else happen? More than likely any wild scenario for Mania involves Lynch being on the card in Dallas with the Raw Women’s title in her clutches, so avoid that match at all costs.
The match that you have any real chance of making solid money on is the main event, the Elimination Chamber for the WWE Championship, as Brock Lesnar is more than likely winning the thing and is the -105 favorite to take the title and then have a unification match at WrestleMania, possibly dethroning Roman Reigns.
Is this going to happen? I’m telling you to bet on it, so yes it is certainly a thing that is happening.

How You Can Hedge Your Bet
If you want to hedge your bet, I’d take Bobby Lashley at +150 at a small price to cover your ass in case WWE decides to pivot hard and fast because they have two nights of WrestleMania and will do anything and everything, like getting Stone Cold Steve Austin out of retirement, to draw a house at Jerry World in Dallas.
The only possibility of an upset comes in the form of COVID-19 and whether or not anyone tests positive between now and Saturday, which we saw materialize last month at Day 1, which is why Brock Lesnar was WWE Champion for a month and Bobby Lashley will either lose the title on Saturday night or be the man to lose it on night one of WrestleMania to the eventual undisputed WWE Champion of the world/universe/teaneck… Brock Lesnar.
