Cody Rhodes Expected to Lose at WWE Crown Jewel Based on Initial Betting Lines

The opening betting odds for WWE’s Crown Jewel event have been released, and fans are buzzing over a major prediction: Cody Rhodes is currently the underdog in his upcoming title showdown against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. Set to take place this Saturday in Saudi Arabia, the event promises intense matchups, but all eyes are on the anticipated clash between Rhodes and GUNTHER.

Despite Rhodes’ rise to the top of WWE after winning the Undisputed WWE Championship, the betting odds favor GUNTHER to walk out of Crown Jewel victorious. BetOnline lists Rhodes as a +200 underdog, while GUNTHER is sitting as a -300 favorite, suggesting that the powerhouse may emerge as the stronger champion after their high-stakes battle.

This potential upset comes as a surprise to many fans, given Rhodes’ impressive momentum in WWE and his recent title reign. The two champions will collide to determine which belt holds supremacy—and, if the odds hold true, GUNTHER could leave Saudi Arabia with a massive statement win over The American Nightmare.

Here’s a breakdown of the betting odds for Crown Jewel:

• Men’s Crown Jewel Championship Match:
  Cody Rhodes +200 vs. GUNTHER -300

The numbers indicate that Rhodes has an uphill battle ahead. With GUNTHER already solidifying his dominance as World Heavyweight Champion, the odds suggest that the event may mark the end of Cody’s reign or, at the very least, cement GUNTHER’s place as the top dog in WWE.

In addition to Rhodes’ title defense, other notable matches on the card include Andrade emerging as the favorite to win the U.S. Championship, and Kevin Owens heavily favored over Randy Orton in their singles encounter.

What makes GUNTHER’s potential victory even more intriguing is the narrative it builds for WWE moving forward. With both champions carrying high-profile belts, the outcome of this match could redefine the power dynamics across WWE’s rosters.
