WWE Night of Champions odds analysis
WWE Undisputed World Championship: John Cena (c) vs CM Punk
As a self-professed CM Punk mark: I wish this match was happening later in the year so there was a chance for it to be meaningful and for Punk to win the title.
While I can see ways for this to go CM Punk’s way Cena is a heavy favorite in the WWE Night of Champions odds and we can expect him to ride his hot streak through to at least SummerSlam.
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Punk wins the title after a hard fought match… And Seth Rollins cashes in the Money in the Bank contract on him for some absolute cinema.
WWE King of the Ring Final: Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
Spicy.
Former Legacy teammates, and real life friends face off for the title of King of the Ring, and a shot at John Cena at SummerSlam.
Either works from a storyline perspective: Cody needs a rematch/a second match in a trilogy with Cena, and Orton didn’t get a clean finish to his title match at Backlash.
Cody is the overwhelming favorite with sportsbooks, and our AI simulator predicted him to win by a narrow margin (54.5%).
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Randy Orton wins and goes on to take the title at SummerSlam to move him to within two title wins of matching Cena’s record.
WWE Queen of the Ring Final: Jade Cargill vs. Asuka
Jade Cargill has almost all the tools to be a star in the WWE: she can work the mic, has a great look, great presence in the ring… but can she actually wrestle? That remains to be seen.
Asuka has had a handful of matches since her year-long layoff with a knee injury – is there room at the top of the card for her to join the main event discussion again?
Cargill is already there in the womens division, is constantly the favorite in every PLE match and is a heavy favorite in the WWE Night of Champions odds. I think she takes this and starts the mega-push WWE have been waiting to push the button on.
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Asuka wins and faces IYO Sky for the Raw Womens title in the best match of SummerSlam.
Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross
This one could be the match of the night.
It only just got added to the card, but we finally get Karrion Kross on a PLE: big day for the Internet Wrestling Community.
The IWC has been crying out for Kross to get the chance to shine and this may be his moment. And he gets the gift of working with a solid worker in Sami Zayn who will sell his tail off to make Kross look good.
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Hopefully this isn’t a one-and-done run for Killer Kross – he should go over to propel himself into the midcard singles scene and the IC title conversation.
WWE United States Championship: Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Solo Sikoa w/ JC Mateo
Jacob Fatu’s face turn at Money in the Bank was on the cards for a long time. Up until that point in the Mens MITB match though, Solo Sikoa was the MVP with his amazing crowd work.
The key people in this US title match aren’t even named on the card: this is a Bloodline storyline match and we can expect to see Jimmy Uso again (who’s been kind of drifting without his brother, Jey or cousin, Roman Reigns to work alongside), and Hikuleo, who has been on the roster for over a year now but just started performing in dark matches before Smackdown tapings for the last few weeks.
Expect Jacob Fatu to keep his title while this match refocuses the Bloodline arc.
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Roman Reigns appears to reunite the full Bloodline and starts his march towards an Undisputed Championship match to end the John Cena farewell tour.
Street Fight: Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Rhea Bloody Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez will face off in a street fight, reigniting one of the best NXT rivalries of the last ten years.
Raquel Rodriguez has great presence and represents something missing from the womens division, but she needs a good worker to get the most out of her skillset. Rhea Ripley comes into this match, for once, as the smaller wrestler – it’s going to be interesting to watch her work ‘from underneath’.
This one isn’t building to anything as Raquel and Liv Morgan were due to defend their Womens Tag Titles at the all-women PLE, Evolution in a couple of weeks. Expect Rhea Ripley to take the W.
🔥 Wild Night of Champions hot take: Liv Morgan isn’t really injured and this was all a ruse to get Rhea Ripley in the ring on her own to restart their feud. It’s not true, but we should always expect the unexpected…
