John Cena, Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse WWE WrestleMania 33 match odds, preview and winner predictions
John Cena, Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse is not a feud that was built on Champions. Instead, it was built on raw emotion and personal vendetta. WWE took elements from the personal lives of all four Superstars to build up an excellent conflict, which will now reach its conclusion at WrestleMania.
Even though the fans cringed initially at the idea of Cena and Nikki teaming up to face Maryse and Miz at WrestleMania, the bout actually seems pretty enticing after the build-up it has received recently.
With a lot of rumours and speculation regarding what may happen at WrestleMania, the match has outclassed even some title matches when it comes to creating buzz. In this article, we will take a look at the betting odds for the match and preview it.
Betting odds:
Unsurprisingly, it is John Cena and Nikki Bella that lead in the betting market. WWE’s Power Couple are -3300 favourites to win the match, according to the odds on Odds Shark while Miz and Maryse are +1000 underdogs.
5Dimes, however, shows a slimmer margin between the couples but Cena and Nikki remain the favourites. In 5Dimes, Cena and Nikki are -1,975 favourites as compared to Miz and Maryse who are +975 underdogs.
The belief that Cena would pull off another win at WrestleMania is probably what drives people to bet in favour of the Cenation leader.
Preview:
The official and unofficial start
The major conflict in the feud, as mentioned earlier, is the personal vendetta between the two couples. WWE drew inspiration from the real-life contract issue between Maryse and Nikki, which was also referred to on Toal Divas, to build the feud up on the Road to WrestleMania.
This was one of many subplots that WWE had for this storyline. Another one that most people barely noticed was the friction that existed between Miz and Daniel Bryan. Miz was not happy with how Bryan gave his sister-in-law’s boyfriend a title match against AJ Styles and this could be pointed out as the unofficial start of the whole storyline.
The animosity between Bryan and Miz was morphed into friction between Miz and Cena. After crossing paths numerous times, Miz invited Cena to Miz TV and a slap from Maryse to Cena mid-way through the segment brought Nikki Bella into the picture.
This was the official start.
Spewing venom at each other
From this point onwards, the storyline shifted gears. Miz and Maryse began to take shots at Cena and Nikki. From not being married to receiving underserved opportunities, Miz and Maryse left nothing unexplored when it came to insulting Cena and Nikki.
Cena held nothing back as well. He left all the PG-Era ‘Role Model’ status and blasted Miz and Maryse in a segment that elevated the feud further. Now, WWE will have to close the storyline off with a solid booking at WrestleMania and we can expect all four Superstars to put together a class act and steal the show on Sunday Night.
Predictions: Nikki Bella and John Cena wins
Miz and Maryse getting a win over Cena and Nikki would be special. But at the same time, this is unlikely to happen. Cena and Nikki are the power couple of the WWE and since the promotion has invested heavily in them, they are unlikely to suffer a defeat at the biggest pay-per-view of the year.
We could, however, expect an equally contested match between the couple, as Miz and Maryse deserve such a booking for all the efforts that they’ve put into this storyline.
