With under a week to spare, WrestleMania is almost here. Boasting a stacked card, the two-night wrestling rendezvous in Philly still has room for more. Per Dave Meltzer of WON, the only unannounced bout up until now is the top-faction warfare on SmackDown. Having said that, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits are on a collision course with Karrion Kross‘ Final Testament.

And as of last week, it was set to be dubbed as a Philadelphia Street Fight. On SmackDown, Kross and his men made sure that The Street Profits couldn’t make it to the 6-pack Ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles this weekend. It was a long night for Bobby Lashley‘s armory. After taking out Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, the erstwhile Killer Kross and the AOP laid waste to The All Mighty.

The multi-man wrecking crew basked in the disdain of the WWE Universe. The Pride’s Mania dreams were dashed; they now have a bone to pick with the Kross-led faction. Moreover, it could very well be a shot in the arm for the ex-Hurt Business CEO. Following last year’s WrestleMania snub, it would’ve been disastrous for the former US army veteran to be left out yet again.

Even though the two sides absolutely loathe each other, the feud hasn’t been able to live up to its expectations. WWE now has a single opportunity to spice things up. There’s no word on whether Scarlett and B-Fab will also be factored into the proposed gimmick match at the Lincoln Financial Field.

What the are betting odds for WrestleMania XL?

The latest betting odds for WrestleMania XL have been released. And it might just give an idea of what the fans could expect from the biggest WWE PLE of the year. First things first, The Rock and Roman Reigns are heavy favorites to outhit Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to close out the first night at -700 to the latter’s bleak chances at +400.

However, The American Nightmare is expected to finish his story with The Tribal Chief on Sunday. In a non-title but heated affair between LA Knight (-700) and AJ Styles (+400), the former is expected to emerge victorious.

Logan Paul (-450) is expected to retain his US title against Kevin Owens (+400) and Randy Orton (+425). Rhea Ripley (-500) is an odds-on favorite to down Becky Lynch (+300) in the Women’s World title match. Jey Uso (-300) is being favored to beat his twin, Jimmy Uso (+200).

Bayley, at -700, is expected to become the new Women’s Champion beating Iyo Sky (+400). Gunther (-400) is said to retain his Intercontinental Championship against Sami Zayn (+250). And finally, Drew McIntyre (-650) is on track to beat Seth Rollins (+375) for the Word Heavyweight title.
