As has been the trend for the past year, the betting odds of the WWE Women’s Division are shifting for the Elimination Chamber. The Women’s matches are the ones that have been shifting compared to the Men and this Sunday’s PPV is no different.
Both the Smackdown Women’s Championship match and Becky Lynch vs Mickie James have flipped completely. Based on these odds, Naomi could very well win the Smackdown Women’s championship, but keep in mind that Alexa Bliss could lose on a DQ or Count Out and still retain the title. The odds here are also very close and could potentially flip again.
Mickie James was originally favored to win her match against Becky Lynch, but that has flipped as well. It’s not uncommon for the WWE to have new or returning talents do a few jobs before pushing them. We saw it with Brock Lesnar losing to John Cena in his return match at Extreme Rules in 2012 and he went on to end the Undertaker’s streak and destroy everyone in his path with the obvious exception of Goldberg.
While it’s not exactly a flip, the odds have become more narrow in the Nikki Bella vs Natalya match. In fact, it’s very close right now and may flip altogether. Compare this to the rest of the matches where the odds widened. This is one to pay attention to
The handicap match, a Men’s match, has flipped significantly with Apollo Crews and Kalisto now significantly favored to win. This one has actually flipped a few times but never this dramatically.
Here are the new odds on the Women’s matches that shifted. These are all under “end of broadcast rules” meaning the final decision before the event ends will be how the bet is graded. This accounts for the “Dusty Finish”. A quick understanding of how to read these odds is that the minus sign represents the favorite and the plus sign indicated the underdog. The number after the plus or minus is how favored or unfavored the competitors happen to be.

Alexa Bliss +220 vs Naomi -300
