WrestleMania 38 Prop Bets and Top Longshots

The biggest event on the WWE yearly calendar, WrestleMania 38is set to take place this Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 with WWE champion Brock Lesnar facing Roman Reigns in the main event from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (PPV, 8 pm ET/5 pm PT).

WrestleMania 38 will be the third event from World Wrestling Entertainment featuring Heavyweights Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns in the main event (WrestleMania 31, and WrestleMania 34) and will be featuring the WWE’s Raw and SmackDown brands.

And WrestleMania 38 will be the fourth one held by WWE in Texas, and the second one in AT&T Stadium—the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys home—as Wrestlemania 32 was also held at Jerry World, the $3.2 billion state-of-the-art facility built by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

During Wrestlemania 38 weekend, 7-time world champion The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Vince McMahon and he will be the only inductee in this year. The Undertaker retired from pro Wrestling in 2020.

WrestleMania 38 Props Good Place for Longshot Picks?

WWE is touting this Lesnar-Reigns match in WrestleMania 38 on Sunday night as “The Biggest Wrestlemania Match of All Time” and modern WWE betting websites have a number of Props for the WrestleMania 38 main event which will have many viewers.

The sportsbook currently (Thursday) has WWE SmackDown’s Universal Champion Reigns as a -350 favorite over Lesnar (+225) as money continues to come in on the favorite and almost approaches an unbeatable price for the Favorite and thoughts of backing the Dog.

The much-anticipated match will be the unification of the WWE’s two biggest world championships, former NCAA College Wrestling star Lesnar (Minnesota), the reigning WWE Champions now in his seventh reign and Raw’s WWE Universal Champion.

In WrestleMania 31, neither Lesnar nor Reigns was the winner as Seth Rollins employed his Money in the Bank contract to make it a Triple Threat and Rollins ended up pinning Reigns to become the new WWE champion at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

At WrestleMania 34 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana with Lesnar and Reigns the main event on the card on April 8, 2018, Lesnar (along with Paul Heyman) pinned Reigns to successfully retain the WWE Universal Championship.

So the storyline is set and ideal now and may be a great chance to back the big Underdog, The Beast Incarnate Lesnar (6-3, 286) who might have trouble at age 44 trying to end this match with Reigns with an F5 finish to dethrone the now long-running champ (500+ days).

We will see soon enough, but it would be easy for Lesnar even with the 36-year-old Pensacola, FL native Reigns the heel now and Lesnar feeling good after beating five others last week in an elimination Chamber Match in Saudi Arabia to claim his new WWE title.

While knowing this is an Entertainment product with produced narratives and storylines and people behind the scenes helping make WWE a sport-like product, it’s also important to remember how athletic WWE wrestlers are and who they were before they got here.

Webster, South Dakota native Lesnar is one of the best Wrestlers in NCAA history, with the University of Minnesota Heavyweight going a remarkable 106-5 overall in his four years with the Golden Gophers and winning the 2000 NCAA Heavyweight Championship

Lesnar is the only person to ever win the NJCAA Heavyweight, NCAA Heavyweight, UFC Heavyweight, New Japan Pro-Wrestling Heavyweight, and WWE Heavyweight championships and baby-faced Lesnar has a 5-3-1 record in his mixed Martial Arts career.

Besides WWE and UFC, Lesnar has also played some Football and after WrestleMania XX in 2002, he retired from WWE to pursue a career in the NFL but at the NFL Combine, Lesnar suffered injuries (Jaw, Left Hand) when his motorbike collided with a minivan.

In his second reign as champion, the aptly named WWE Universal Champion Reigns—real name Leati Joseph Anoa’i—played for the ACC’s Georgia Tech in College before two stints in the NFL with the Jaguars and Vikings as well in the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos.

“Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (-700 to beat Champion Charlotte Flair, +400 ) changed the game for women fighting in UFC as the 35-year-old from Los Angeles went 12-2-0 in 14 MMA bouts and was the first female fighter to be inducted into the MMA Hall of Fame in 2018.

Rousey was also the first American woman to ever win an Olympic Gold medal in Judo, doing so at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Icon Rousey (5-6, 135) officially began her MMA career 11 years ago with the King of the Cage in 2011 and joined WWE in 2018.

WWE’s WrestleMania 39—also to be known as WrestleMania Hollywood—is scheduled to be held next year at SoFi Stadium—home of the NFL’s Super Bowl champ Los Angeles Rams—in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California on Sunday, April 2, 2023.

Stone Cold Steve Austin to Fight Kevin Owens in Arlington

On Night 1 (Saturday), Stone Cold Steve Austin will fight Kevin Owens in WrestleMania 38 but it will be Rona Rousey-Charlotte Flair (Night 1) and the Winner Takes All Unification match between Lesnar and Reigns (Night 2) most will be looking forward to.

In his sixth WrestleMania event in the past eight years, The Tribal Chief Reigns defeated Lesnar at the Crown Jewel in October with a little help from his friend Heyman who will be in Reign’s corner and not Lesnar’s this time around as money bet on Reigns rains in.

Lesnar and Reigns are WWE’s two biggest stars and expect a rematch someday and this will be the first winner-take-all Championship bout since WrestleMania 35 when Becky Lynch beat Rousey and Flair to earn the Raw and SmackDown Women’s championships.

And this will likely be the most-attended and most bet on WrestleManias ever with Bianca Belair (-500) and Becky Lynch (+350) getting it on Night 1 at AT&T Stadium and in the last day, Reigns, Rousey, Belair and Johnny Knoxville have all seen money come in on them.

And in Knoxville’s case, it has been serious, taking the Jackass star from a +120 Underdog on Wednesday to a strong -300 favorite on Thursday as the Sharps and public alike have been fading Sami Zayn (+200, BetOnline) for their Singles match schedule for Night 2.

So their Intercontinental Championship title match should be good entertainment on Sunday and Knoxville impressed enough in his last fight that the public is on him heavily for this WWE “Anything Goes” rules-match where Zayn may now provide the best value.

The Baddest Woman On The Planet Rousey looks primed to be champ but at those prices, best to look for hidden value somewhere else as Rousey and Reigns have become so chalky that the return might not now be worth the investment and risk for the two fights.

But the four Props bets for WrestleMania 38 and Rousey-Flair which might be a better betting approach depending on what you might think might end up happening in this WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship Singles match from Arlington on Night 1.

Rousey by Submission (-500) is the Favorite in this props market but Rousey by Pinfall (+350) looks like the better value play and might be worth a shot with The Baddest Woman On the Planet’s UFC experience and return, possibly setting up a quick Flair fall.

And if you to bet on Wrestling and the current Champ and Underdog Flair (as Rousey money flows), Flair by Submission (5/1), or Flair by Pinfall (6/1) may be worth looks with the bigger Flair (5-10, 143 pounds) having 4 inches and 9 pounds on the smaller Rousey.
