WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Betting Odds, Picks, and Predictions
Roman Reigns (C) vs. Sami Zayn — Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
| Result | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Roman Reigns (C) | -900 | 90% |
| Sami Zayn | +400 | 20% |
The 900-plus day reign of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns looks to overcome its final task before WrestleMania 39. Reigns has run through former champions John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, Kofi Kingston, Big E, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, and Edge.
Meanwhile, Sami Zayn has quickly become one of the biggest stars in all of WWE. Zayn aligned himself with Reigns and the champion's cousins, the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy and Jey Uso. Zayn earned his spot as an official 'Honorary Uce' after he turned on his best friend Kevin Owens at this past November's Survivor Series premium live event. However, The Bloodline's world would come crashing down when Zayn attacked Reigns at last month's Royal Rumble event. Since Zayn's turn, Zayn has been clamoring for a title match and the 'Head of the Table' finally obliged and accepted Zayn's challenge, which will go down Saturday night in Zayn's hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Regarding who will come out on top in this emotional affair, it seems as if Reigns is on a collision course with 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match winner Cody Rhodes. While there's always a possibility the company changes course and makes the WrestleMania 39 main event a triple threat match between Reigns, Rhodes, and Zayn, the likeliest outcome is Reigns vs. Rhodes in singles action to headline the 'Showcase of the Immortals' when April rolls around.
Roman Reigns (C) vs. Sami Zayn Pick - Roman Reigns (-900)
Austin Theory (C) vs. Seth Rollins vs. Montez Ford vs. Bronson Reed vs. Damian Priest vs. Johnny Gargano — Elimination Chamber Match (United States Championship)
| Result | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Austin Theory (C) | -300 | 75% |
| Seth Rollins | +275 | 26.67% |
| Bronson Reed | +600 | 14.29% |
| Montez Ford | +800 | 11.11% |
| Damian Priest | +1200 | 7.69% |
| Johnny Gargano | +1600 | 5.86% |
Regarding who will walk out of this weekend's event with gold draped over their shoulder, it should be Austin Theory. While there's sure to be a ton of teases with fan favorites Montez Ford and Johnny Gargano winning, the likeliest outcome is Theory retaining on Saturday night. Perhaps the biggest reason for Theory being oddsmakers' favorite is due to the champion dropping several teases over the last number of weeks at a WrestleMania match with future WWE Hall of Famer John Cena. Theory and Cena clashing at WrestleMania for the United States Championship makes too much sense not to happen due to fans' comparisons to Cena as well as the former champion's legendary open challenge run with the US Title.
Elimination Chamber Match, United States Championship Pick - Austin Theory (C) (+300)
Asuka vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. Nikki Cross vs. Carmella vs. Natalya vs. Liv Morgan — Women's Elimination Chamber Match (Winner Faces Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39)
| Result | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Asuka | -1250 | 92.59% |
| Raquel Rodriguez | +400 | 20% |
| Liv Morgan | +900 | 10% |
| Nikki Cross | +1400 | 6.67% |
| Carmella | +2000 | 4.76% |
| Natalya | +2500 | 3.85% |
With the winner set to face Bianca Belair for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania 39, there appears only to be one possible winner. While Rodriguez, Cross, Carmella, Natalya, and Carmella would offer fresh challengers for Belair, the champion is on a collision course with Asuka for WrestleMania. Since returning to her former 'Kana' moniker at last month's Royal Rumble event, Asuka has quickly dispatched everyone and everything in her way, even taking out her tag team partners on this past Monday's episode of WWE RAW. Asuka vs. Belair is a sure-fire show stealer if it were to go down at WrestleMania and it almost seems too good to pass up a chance at putting that match together for the 'Show of Shows.'
Women's Elimination Chamber Match Pick - Asuka (-250)
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
| Result | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Brock Lesnar | -200 | 66.67% |
| Bobby Lashley | +140 | 41.67% |
What the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC) would deem as a 'big meaty men slapping meat' rivalry culminates at Elimination Chamber. Lashley defeated Lesnar at the 2022 Royal Rumble event for the WWE Championship. However, Lesnar would get his win back at the 2022 Crown Jewel event to even the series at one win apiece. Earlier this month, Lesnar made his WWE return and set his eyes on Lashley with revenge on his mind.
Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley Pick - Brock Lesnar (+100)
Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley)
| Result | Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Edge & Beth Phoenix | -400 | 80% |
| Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley | +250 | 26.57% |
The longest ongoing rivalry on this card is Edge vs. The Judgment Day. However, this time, Edge's wife and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix will be in the mix and look to assist her husband in dispatching his longtime rivals. Edge formed the group before last year's WrestleMania and took Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley under his wing. However, Priest and Ripley would quietly go behind Edge's back and align with Finn Balor. Priest and Ripley would recruit Rey Mysterio's son Dominik to form their current iteration of The Judgment Day. The group took out Edge's wife during the Extreme Rules premium live event, which put both Edge and Beth Phoenix on the sidelines for several months. Edge and Beth would return at last month's Royal Rumble event and attacked The Judgment Day, which ultimately set up this weekend's inter-gender tag match which has a chance to steal the show.
Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Judgment Day (Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley) Pick - Edge & Beth Phoenix (-400)
