2024 WWE Crown Jewel Odds and Picks: Raw vs. SmackDown in Saudi Arabia!

• Cody Rhodes: +200

Gunther, the Raw World Heavyweight champion, is favored in this match against Cody Rhodes, SmackDown’s Undisputed WWE Champion. This clash is also for the inaugural WWE Crown Jewel Championship.

I’m taking the WWE betting value with Cody Rhodes, who is arguably the biggest star in WWE right now. Rhodes also eliminated Gunther in this year’s Royal Rumble, which he went on to win.

If the WWE is going to give this belt out for the first time, Rhodes would be the perfect recipient for it. I’m actually surprised that Rhodes is the underdog here, so he kicks off my WWE Crown Jewel predictions.

• Liv Morgan: -150
• Nia Jax: +110

This match is for the inaugural WWE Women’s Crown Jewel championship, between Morgan, the Raw Women’s Champion, and Jax, SmackDown’s WWE Women’s champion.

There have been rumors of potential interference by Tiffany Stratton, who can cash in her Money in the Bank contract, which she already tried on the October 14^th episode of Raw.

However, Stratton could interfere against either wrestler, whom she has had run-ins with in the past. Rhea Ripley could also get involved as she was bloodied by Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez on the most recent NXT episode.

I can see this one going both ways, so the value is on the plus odds, and’m taking Jax to win the first Women’s Crown Jewel belt ahead of November’s Survivor Series.

• Bronson Reed: -200
• Seth Rollins: +150

These two have been going at it for a couple of months now, starting with Reed attacking Rollins on the August 5^th episode of Raw. Rollins returned on the September 30^th Raw, interfering to cause Reed to lose a Last Monster Standing match against Braun Strowman.

The two then battled backstage on the October 28^th Raw to get ready for this match. Again, I’m taking the value here and making Rollins one of my 2024 WWE Crown Jewel predictions!

It has been a while since Rollins has been in the championship picture, and he’s still very popular with the fans. I’m taking him at offshore sportsbooks to get the win on Saturday!

• Kevin Owens: -400
• Randy Orton: +250

Owens is on a tear recently, first attacking Rhodes after Bad Blood. Orton tried to broker a truce between him and Rhodes, but then Owens attacked Orton on the October 11^th episode of SmackDown.

I’m going to take my first favorite at BetOnline in these WWE Crown Jewel predictions and bet on Owens to win this match. It appears that he’s headed for a showdown with Rhodes for the SmackDown championship, and this would be a smart move in the right direction for WWE.

• Andrade: -150
• LA Knight: +120
• Carmelo Hayes: +600

This Triple Threat match is for the WWE United States Championship, which is held by LA Knight. Andrade and Hayes have been battling for months now, while also losing championship matches to Knight along the way.

LA Knight dropped both Andrade & Carmelo Hayes, called them a pile of losers, and then left.

However, Knight interfered in a match between Andrade and Hayes on October 25^th’s SmackDown, which led to this match being announced. This is the toughest match to call as Knight isn’t as popular as he used to be, but I’m not sure Andrade and Hayes are ready to step up. I’m taking the champ at plus odds in my 2024 WWE Crown Jewel predictions at BetOnline.

• Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair: -700
• Chelsea Green and Piper Niven: +300
• Kairi Sane and IYO SKY: +800
• Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson: +900

Cargill and Belair are the WWE Women’s Tag Team championship, and the other teams will challenge in this Fatal Four-Way Tag Team match.

#WWECrownJewel is getting bigger by the minute!

There are rumors that Cargill and Belair are going to turn on each other at some point, but they’re the biggest stars in this match. They will lose the belts at some point, but it won’t be in Saudi Arabia on Saturday. Stick with the champions.

• The Bloodline: -300
• Roman Reigns and the Usos: +200

Reigns returned at Bad Blood to team up with Rhodes and defeat The Bloodline in a tag-team match. After causing The Bloodline to lose their WWE Tag Team belts on the October 25^th SmackDown, Jimmy and Jey Uso reunited, and then they also sorted things out with Reigns to set up this match.

The Bloodline has taken many losses lately, so it would make sense that they would get a win here to pick up some momentum. But I’m not going to bet against Roman Reigns, especially with plus money on the line at online sports betting sites. I’m taking Reigns and the Usos here.
