WWE WrestleMania 2017: Updated Odds, Full Predictions for Each Champion at Event

Ryan DilbertMar 30, 2017

Chris Jericho is among the champions set to leave WWE WrestleMania 2017 with empty hands.

Change is coming to many a title picture. WrestleMania will be a restart in many ways, as challengers knock titleholders like Jericho off the mountain.

Sunday's pay-per-view will see the culmination of several stories, thrilling bouts and big moments. Jericho, The Usos, Bayley, Goldberg and others will be a part of all of that. The promise of defeat lingers for many of them, though. 

The betting odds for both the Andre the Giant Battle Royal and WrestleMania 33 itself, per OddsShark.com, make it easier to project how The Show of Shows will play out.

Read on for a look at every WWE champs' chances, along with projections about what their match will look like before the final result.

The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Champion)

1 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +10000 (100/1)

Neither of The Usos have a shot at winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. WWE tossed the tag champs into that annual bout as filler. 

Braun Strowman's inevitable collision with Big Show will be a higher priority than showcasing Jimmy and Jey Uso. Sami Zayn showing heart during the battle will be a bigger story than The Usos, too.

At most, the brothers can hope for their rivalry with American Alpha to advance during the Battle Royal. They are likely to oust Chad Gable and Jason Jordan from the match to add another reason for the babyfaces to want to take them down.

Beyond that, they will get lost in the shuffle at The Show of Shows. 

Neville (Cruiserweight Champion)

2 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: -500 (1/5)

Neville and Austin Aries being relegated to the pre-show is a bad sign. 

What could have been a show-stealer match is likely to just be a solid one instead. The energy from the crowd won't be great, as fans will still be filing in when these cruiserweights lock up. 

Neville's chances of retaining are good. Aries only arrived on the 205 Live stage recently. WWE will want to hold off on his coronation.

Unlike many matches at WrestleMania 33, this one will be the beginning of a feud, not the climax. The King of Cruiserweights will face his toughest test to date, but survive by way of underhanded means. Aries' time will come later.

Dean Ambrose (Intercontinental Champion)

3 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +800 (8/1)

Dean Ambrose is poised to be Baron Corbin's stepping stone.

The Lone Wolf has charged up the SmackDown ladder since the brand split. Corbin is young, promising and improving as a performer. He's bound to create one of WrestleMania's bigger moments when he clobbers Ambrose en route to becoming champion.

The current champ is days away from losing his second WrestleMania match in a row.

The Lunatic Fringe will be fine, though. He's won and lost many a title in his career so far. On Sunday, it will be his turn to elevate someone who has yet to claim any gold.

Chris Jericho (United States Champion)

4 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +500 (11/2) 

This is a transitory stage in Jericho's WWE career. He steps into the spotlight, battles an enemy or two and then slips away again. The cycle then repeats months later.

It will soon be time for another temporary departure. "He is not advertised for shows in May," Geno Mrosko of Cageside Seats noted, "That's because his band, Fozzy, is going on tour." 

That still gives Jericho time to wrestle at Payback on April 30. That PPV promises to be where he gets his rematch to try to reclaim the U.S. title.

At WrestleMania, Kevin Owens will run over him en route to becoming U.S. champ. That's the smart payoff for this story of friendship imploding. Owens needs the victory and the gold; Jericho is on his way out.

Before he bows out, though, Jericho will flourish with Owens as his foe. Their chemistry as allies and enemies has been tremendous. That will continue on The Grandest Stage of Them All as they put on the night's best match.

Alexa Bliss (SmackDown Women's Champion)

5 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: (Not listed)

Alexa Bliss enters WrestleMania with the most tenuous hold on her title of all the roster's champions.

The Wicked Witch will face at least five challengers. Enemies will surround her, including maybe a surprise entrant or two, making her odds to retain slim.

WWE has a number of avenues to take here, and a lot of them don't end with Bliss still reigning.

The returning Naomi is the front-runner to take home the SmackDown women's title. She never got a chance to do anything with it the first time thanks to a knee injury that forced her to relinquish the strap. Consider too that she will be wrestling in her hometown of Orlando, and it's hard to bet against her.

Bliss will have her moments. She's sure to be her usual vicious self, pulling hair and kicking ribs. She'll do something crafty to take out the likes of Becky Lynch or Mickie James.

The uphill climb to keeping the gold will be too much to overcome, though. Sunday is sure to be Naomi's night instead.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (Raw Tag Team Champions)

6 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +138 (69/50)

The quality of the Raw tag team title bout will be boosted in a major way by the addition of ladders. What was a ho-hum clash is suddenly far more intriguing after WWE turned it into a ladder match on Monday.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson will get a number of opportunities to look like badasses. They will slam someone through a ladder and use the metal tool to clock a few of their opponents as well.

The buzz after the bout, though, will be about Enzo Amore and Big Cass.

The Realest Guys in the Room have remained one of Raw's most popular acts even with underwhelming booking. The beloved duo is poised to have a WrestleMania moment to remember as a woozy Amore retrieves the tag titles from above the ring.

The Show of Shows will be their welcoming party, as WWE puts an emphasis on the new and the fresh at the event. Amore and Big Cass will celebrate at the current champs' expense.

Post-WrestleMania, Anderson and Gallows will have to go into chase mode again.

Bayley (Raw Women's Champion)

7 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: -700 (7/50)

Win or lose, Bayley will have one less friend by the time WrestleMania is over.

WWE has hinted often and hard that Sasha Banks is ready to plunge a knife into the champ's back. The Boss is sure to turn heel at Sunday's PPV, and that will mean betraying Bayley in some fashion.

Bayley will get to look strong during the action by eliminating Charlotte Flair.

She won't be able to overcome a Banks cheap shot on her, though. Raw has relied on the drama of title changes with the women's division, and that won't stop at WrestleMania. Banks will leave Bayley broken at her feet and walk out of the arena with the title in her grasp again.

Bray Wyatt (WWE Champion)

8 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +450 (9/2)

Wyatt will finally reign at WrestleMania.

After losing his first two matches at the marquee PPV and missing the card last year, The Eater of Worlds is set to triumph. Wyatt will take Randy Orton's best shots and survive them. He will come up with a clever counter for the RKO and hit The Viper with some crafty, villainous plan.

That may include a returning Erick Rowan aiding him or a band of men in sheep masks spooking Orton.

Wyatt vs. Orton will be one of the show's best matches. It will be hard-hitting theater with some supernatural bells and whistles to continue the tone of the feud.

And for the first time, Wyatt will walk away from the WrestleMania stage as the winner. 

Goldberg (Universal Championship)

9 of 9

Odds to win at WrestleMania: +1200 (12/1)

Goldberg will have the longest match of his current run, but the bar isn't exactly set high on that front.

The champ will clash with Brock Lesnar for a good few minutes, each man hitting the other with their best moves several times over. False finishes will be the majority of the bout. Goldberg's age will inspire WWE to hurry to the climax.

And The Beast Incarnate will get payback for all the times Goldberg embarrassed him.

Lesnar is set to stick around; Goldberg isn't. That will mean Lesnar will get his groove back, so to speak, by conquering the man he's failed to conquer thus far.

After suffering defeat, Goldberg will get his farewell moment, one that includes a wave to the crowd and an embrace with his son in the center of the ring.
