Welcome to a wrestling gambling column where someone who works in wrestling talks about the bets you should make on major wrestling events because of their knowledge of the industry, the arcs of pro wrestling storytelling, and their love of hats.
For some reason, the WWE booked Money In The Bank for the same night as UFC 276 and in any other situation I would watch the rasslin’, but with UFC 276 being my return to the mic on VOX, I will be watching later… but that does not mean I’m not gonna give you the betting picks to win you some fanciful monies to purchase hats!

First and foremost, do not bet on the Raw Women’s Title match. If a title change is happening in that match or any other Women’s title match on the card, it will be due to a cash-in.
So that bet is a fool’s errand, especially with Bianca Belair and Ronda Rousey set at -1500 and Natalya Carmella at +500 per our friends at BetOnline (visit our BetOnline Review).
While there are no betting odds on the Men’s and Women’s Money In The Bank ladder match yet, I think looking at the rest of this card you can find some solid value when it comes to the Austin Theory and Bobby Lashley’s United States Title match.
Bobby Lashley is a “made” guy at this point in the WWE and could be someone who walks into the Royal Rumble as a solid favorite to win on the Road to WrestleMania. That is unless Cody Rhodes gets hurt.
It would be an odd move to take the belt off of Theory at the moment because of the trajectory he seems to be on heading into SummerSlam, more than likely standing across the ring from Big Match John (AKA John Cena), who had a run-in with the Atlanta native on this Monday’s episode of Raw, which doubled as Cena’s 20th anniversary of stepping into a WWE ring.
Lashley is booked at +140, which are great odds for an upset, but Theory at -200 per BetOnline is a line that I would honestly take for Saturday night when they face off inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the first time the WWE has run a pay-per-view from the legendary boxing and WCW venue.

When it comes to the WWE Unified Tag Team Match, that’s also a stay-away bet. I don’t think they’ll have the Street Profits get the win on Saturday night, as The Uso’s continue to rise alongside the Bloodline’s leader, Roman Reigns, until he drops the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
But if you wanna take a flier on an underdog, The Street Profits are a solid +250 on BetOnline if you’re willing to part with some extra money you have lying around the house.
