Patriot and founding father Benjamin Franklin once said, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” That bit of philosophy applies perfectly to this weekend, as there are two major pro wrestling events happening early on Saturday and late on Sunday from the industry’s top two promotions.
The first premium live event of the weekend is offered up this Saturday by World Wrestling Entertainment, and because it will broadcast from Saudi Arabia, the start time is set for 1 PM EST in the United States.
WWE King & Queen Of The Ring
- Saturday, May 25, 2024 – 1 PM
- Jeddah Super Dome, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
- Streaming On Peacock And The WWE Network – Subscriptions Start At $4.99 Per Month
Intercontinental Championship Odds
- Bronson Reed +350
- Chad Gable +250
- Sami Zayn (Champion) -500
Since there are only two matches with known participants so far, WWE betting sites have created just two lines. The above three-way match will award the winner the Intercontinental Championship, a belt that Gunther elevated for 666 consecutive days until WrestleMania 2024.
Now that the strap has been taken off of Gunther, it appears Sami Zayn is poised for a run beyond King & Queen of the Ring.
WWE Women’s World Championship Odds
- Liv Morgan +250
- Becky Lynch (Champion) -400
“The Man” Becky Lynch is poised to retain her WWE Women’s World Championship. Lynch’s betting odds imply she’s a 1-to-4 favorite over Liv Morgan. Betting on the underdog, in this case, will award 2.5-to-1 payouts if Morgan beats Lynch.
AEW Double Or Nothing
- Sunday, May 26, 2024 – 8 PM
- Paradise, Nevada, MGM Grand Garden Arena
- On Pay-Per-View For $49.99 Via Bleacher Report
AEW International Championship Odds
- Roderick Strong (Champion) +300
- Will Ospreay -500
The odds for betting on AEW Double or Nothing matches are more plentiful than WWE’s PLE, thanks to additional matches being announced beforehand. Roderick Strong doesn’t have a prayer against Will Ospreay, so we don’t advise investing in the current International Champion’s odds to win.
TBS Championship Odds
- Willow Nightingale (Champion) +285
- Mercedes Mone -475
The long-awaited in-ring AEW debut for Mercedes Mone (formerly known as Sasha Banks in the WWE) is just six days away. She has been recovering from an ankle injury, and according to the following tweet, her training is going well.

— Mercedes Moné Varnado (@MercedesVarnado) May 19, 2024
Mone’s injury was suffered against Willow Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence on May 21st, 2023. Willow picked up the win, and there’s no doubt in the wrestling oddsmaker’s minds that Mone will pull the series to even this Sunday.
AEW Women’s World Championship Odds
- Serena Deeb +600
- Toni Storm (Champion) -1200
There is even less doubt being expressed by online AEW sportsbooks regarding “Timeless” Toni Storm’s chances of retaining her AEW Women’s World Championship when she faces Serena Deeb this Sunday. Storm’s -1200 odds grant her a 92% chance of beating Serena Deeb.
The above five AEW and WWE betting lines represent the total wrestling odds for this weekend as of this writing, but look for more props and lines to appear following this week’s episodes of RAW, Dynamite, and SmackDown.
