Welcome back Cheap-Heaters! We are live and in technicolor! There are two wrestling Pay Per View Extravaganzas… (Oh, you only know of Night of Champions?) – Ring of Honor has their All-Star Extravaganza. But? I’m not here to handicap that. So here is the Over/Under for Night of Champions. Every championship in the WWE is on the line! Much like Jay Lethal in Ring of Honor, WWE’s franchise player, “The Man” Seth Rollins will be defending TWO championships at NOC. Lets see what Vegas has to say about the 8 matches (Including the preshow).
HOW WE GOT HERE!
For the last few months Stardust has been obsessed with Neville. As they play into a comic book styled feud. Stardust being the super villain to Neville’s super hero. They had a tag match at Summerslam where Neville and the Green Arrow teamed up against Neville and King Barrett. I thought the Red and Green Arrow winning ended things. (I was wrong) – Stardust has enlisted the assistance of the Ascension in a budding stable calling themselves the “Cosmic Wasteland”. Add a pinch of the Lucha Dragons who were the guys that helped bail Neville out during a beat down. BOOM! We have ourselves a pre-show match! Its good to see the Ascension having something to do that ISN’T predicated on them cutting promos on defunct tag teams with members in their 50s, 60s, or older.
FAVORITES!
Cosmic Wasteland: -200. They are a budding collective. A win here would go nicely with establishing them as a unit.
UNDERDOGS!
Neville and the Dragons: +140. No real reason for them to win. Neville got the win at Summerslam. Makes much more sense for the CW to get the W.
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Over/Under Total Number of Flips and/or Rotations: 47.5
HOW WE GOT HERE!
The New Day is the awesomest thing in wrestling the last 3-4 months. Consistently the highlight of whatever segment they are and whatever show they’re on. They regained the tag team championships at Summerslam. The night after? The Dudley Boyz returned to the WWE. Which is also awesome. These two have set down the path to a title match. The New Day has been petitioning the WWE Universe to #SaveTheTables, in an effort to keep themselves being smashed through furniture at the hands of their new rivals.
FAVORITES!
The New Day: -150. Dudleys JUST returned. Makes sense for the New Day to hold onto the belts and continue to be awesome and dominate the Tag Division.
UNDERDOGS!
The Dudley Boys: +100. Not impossible they’ll find themselves the TEN TIME WWE tag team champion.
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Will the New Day go through a table? Yes: -200. No: +400
Over/Under Total members of New Day going through table: 1.5
HOW WE GOT HERE!
Previously… On the Ziggler and the Rusev. Rusev and Lana broke up. Rusev went all emo until he met Summer Rae. Lana went on the rebound with Dolph Ziggler. People were slapped. Ziggler got hurt (Read: Went to film a movie) – Summer and Lana brawled. This was looking like it’d be a mixed tag, BUT? Lana got hurt while training. So she’s out. We get this instead. At Summerslam they fought to a… double count out? I legit don’t remember. The best part of this feud will be it ending. Hopefully this gets us THERE.
FAVORITE!
Ziggler: -100. Can’t remember the last time Ziggler was a favorite. But he’s giving gifts to Summer Rae. He came off heelish (Not sure if that was on purpose, or not) – but with Lana on the shelf, I’m guessing he gets some sort of revenge on the dastardly duo.
UNDERDOG!
Rusev: +100. Really close to a pick ‘em. I won’t be THAT surprised if Rusev gets the victory here. They like him, and seemingly want to do good things with him. So? Maybe he wins?!
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Summer Rae + Ziggles 4eva? No: -300. Yes: +240.
HOW WE GOT HERE!
Bray cost Roman Reigns a chance at winning Money in the Bank. Since then, Bray has brought Harper back into the fold. So Reigns brought Ambrose back. The Shield Lite won at Summerslam, but Bray wasn’t done. he brought in the “Black Sheep”, Braun Stowman. A monster of a man. Every time the Shield tried to enlist the help of someone: Orton, the healthy Uso? Bray struck. They got shelved, and the Wyatt Family continues to be on the “power play” (Yeah that’s a hockey reference… NHL season just around the corner!) So the Shield bros, say they HAVE a partner, but they aren’t saying a word about who it is. We’ll see him at Night of Champions.
FAVORITES!
The Wyatt Family: -100. This line moves with whoever is the third on Roman and Dean’s team. If its, say, Daniel Bryan? Roman and Dean become WILD favorites. If its Cesaro, Erik Rowan, or… someone else? It always floats around even money.
UNDERDOGS!
Roman and Dean: EVEN. Like I said above, the partner makes and or breaks this bet. Roman and Dean got a nice win on Smackdown. SSSSOOOOOOO? (Look strong going into a PPV, and lose)
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
WHO IS the PARTNER: Cesaro: -200. Erik Rowan: -100. Daniel Bryan: +100. Savio Vega: +210. Great Khali: +400. CM PUNK: +eleventy billion
HOW WE GOT HERE!
Ryback says “FEED ME MORE”. People poke fun at Kevin Owens’ weight. He cuts a promo about “FEEDING HIM MORE”. (Get it?) So Owens walks into a Ryback promo eating an apple (He, sadly, he is not spitting in the face of people who don’t want to be cool) – The two fight a little bit. Yell at each other a little bit. Ryback sings Elvis. Owens destroys Ziggler. As a series of statements this is confusing… Welp? We have Owens vs. Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship.
FAVORITE!
Kevin Owens: -300. Might be the handicapper’s heart choosing a line here. Ryback hasn’t exactly done much of note as an IC champion. Maybe they still want to elevate the prestige of the championship. I think Owens is the perfect guy to do that.
UNDERDOG!
Ryback: +150.
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
MATCH OF THE NIGHT? ARE YOU KIDDING?! OWENS ISN’T THAT GOOD: -450. Sure… Why not?! +400.
Ryback’s Indy Move of the Match: Suicide Dive: -100. Poison Rana: +400. Drop Toe Hold: -450. Canadian Destroyer: +300.
HOW WE GOT HERE!
A revolution began. Three of the NXT Women got the call up to the Main Roster. Then with little to no reason, the three teams of three just split off and fought in random single and tag matches. They had a three team elimination match at Summerslam, which Team PCB won. Which gave them the chance to fight for the right to earn #1 contendership. They rocked a beat the clock. Charlotte won. We finally got a little direction to this #DivasRevolution. Plus add Nikki Bella approaching AJ Lee’s longest Diva Title reign, and Charlotte challenging her BEFORE Nikki broke it. They went with Twin Magic that backfired, so we had Brie pulling tissues out of her bra… again… and then Steph reversed a decision… cuz WHY?! But she did give Charlotte a return match for Night of Champions.
FAVORITES!
Nikki Bella: -130. I think it makes sense for Nikki to win here. Now that they are seem more dedicated to having her be an actual HEEL? She should d-bag her way into holding the title for another few months. Maybe leading to a triple threat or for corners elimination match at Survivor Series (See? Cuz its SURVIVOR Series, so have a match you have to survive!)
UNDERDOGS!
Charlotte: +88. Yeah not a bit of a surprise if, since they now have Nikki being the longest reigning Divas Champ ever, they truly move on in this revolution.
btw… Banks has tapped Nikki and Charlotte… and has beaten Paige like 457 times now. #GiveSashaAChance!
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Twin Magic: Yes: -200. No: +150. YES, but they do it Foxxy! +650
HOW WE GOT HERE!
Seth beat Cena in the main event of Summerslam. 100%! TOTALLY! COMPLETELY! BY! HIM! SELF! So Seth is a double champion-
LETHAL DID IT!
Cena decided to make his rematch clause got cashed for Night of Champions. So we got double the Seth!
FAVORITES!
Cena: -400. I think the Internet has something for this… it goes like… L…O….L…. CENA WINS? It really makes the most sense for Cena to win. Lets get back to US Open Challenges!
UNDERDOGS!
Seth Rollins: +420. Cuz you gotta be HIGH to bet on Seth in this match!
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Seth’s Power Ranger Ring Gear: Black: -400. White: -250. Green: -100. Red: +350.
How ROH is Seth’s moveset? “HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!” -150. “THIS IS WRESTLING!” -340. “Chin lock City” +210.
HOW WE GOT HERE!
When Rollins became double champion he was promised a Statue! SO? The Authority made him a statue and were totally gonna unveil it in the ring! Only? The statue was GONE! And replacing it? The Man Called Sting! (With 11% of his face paint sweated or rubbed off) – After some brawling. Sting was in the ring holding the WWE World Heavyweight championship. Trips, not one to pass up an opportunity (He said dripping with sarcasm) – Made the match. Sting vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. We’ve gotten Sting’s first Raw match. Where he made Seth tap out. Oh… and Sting destroyed the statue.
FAVORITES!
Seth Rollins Retains: -350. I can’t see Seth losing the belt here. At least not to Sting. Maybe a no contest/DQ type deal. MAYBE they have Sheamus cash?
UNDERDOGS!
Sting Wins the Championship: +200. As much as he should have won at Mania, he SHOULD lose here. It’d set up Rollins vs. Triple H even better if Triple H failed to beat Sting, and Rollins succeeded. Sadly? That requires an attention to detail that it seems WWE Creative lacks.
PROP BETS O’ THE MATCH!
Over/Under: 8 minutes till Sting’s face paint is gone.
Which Match Goes on Last: Cena/Rollins -250. Sting/Rollins +100. Ryback/Owens +1400
Triple H’s nose pokes into this bidness: Yes -100. No +200.
There we have it, Cheap-Heaters. Happy gambling, and we’ll see you soon!
