Who Will Win WWE WrestleMania 40?
There are 13 title matches in WWE Wrestlemania 40, each being a pivotal matchup. Here’s who is favored to win each matchup with odds provided by BetMassachusetts and not Massachusetts betting apps.
WrestleMania XL Tag Team Match
Being called the biggest tag team match in WrestleMania history, the WrestleMania 40 tag team match pits Roman Reigns and The Rock against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Taking place on the first night of WrestleMania, this match comes after The Rock challenged Rhodes and Rollins on WWE Smackdown a few weeks ago. And this match comes with stipulations for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
If The Bloodline wins the tag team match, Rhodes' match with Reigns, the Undisputed Championship becomes a "Bloodline Rules" or, an anything goes, match. If the American Nightmare wins, he'll get to face Reigns one-on-one for the title with no interference.
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes is heavily favored in his matchup when he challenges incumbent WWE Champion Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in a rematch of WrestleMania 39.
Now, the two-time Royal Rumble winner gets another chance to finish his story and become the undisputed WWE Champion.
We have Rhodes as a -750 favorite while Reigns is a +450.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
The Scottish Warrior Drew McIntyre finally gets his chance to win a WWE World Title in front of a live audience when he takes on World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins in The Showcase of the Immortals.
This title bout is the third time that McIntyre and Rollins have faced off, with Rollins winning the previous two fights. Can The Scottish Warrior finally win the glory?
We think so, having McIntyre at -300 odds to win the World Heavyweight Championship, while Rollins is at +200.

WWE Women’s Championship
Former allies Bayley and IYO SKY face off for the WWE Women's Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All at WrestleMania XL.
Revealing that she knows Japanese, The Role Model called out current champion IYO SKY "The Genius of the Sky" in an attempt to reclaim the title.
We at BetMassachusetts believe Bayley will recapture the title at -1000 odds; for SKY, we have +400 odds.

WWE Women’s World Championship
Mami looks to defend the WWE Women’s World Championship against The Man in what is shaping up to be one of the legendary championship matches in all of WWE.
Becky Lynch finally gets her chance at the title in nearly two years after winning the Elimination Chamber in February. But she has a tough task going up against Rhea Ripley, who has looked unstoppable since winning the championship at last year's Showcase of the Immortals.
Will Mami fend off The Man at WrestleMania XL? Or Will Lynch reclaim the glory?
We think that Ripley will defend her title at -300 odds of retaining the belt. We have Lynch at +200 to win.

United States Championship
Logan Paul is joining the fray at WrestleMania XL in a Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship. After spending several weeks complaining that he didn't have a WrestleMania opponent, Paul finally gets his chance to defend the title against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.
This match features some drama as Paul cheated his way to a disqualification victory over Owens at their Royal Rumble match earlier this year, while Paul faked an injury at the WWE Elimination Chamber only to catch Orton by surprise with brass knuckles.
This Triple Threat Match is one you can't miss!
