According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Kalisto is the favorite to retain his championship tonight, as he has odds of -150 to win, while Ryback has a money line of +110 to win. This match is part of Wrestlemania 32’s kickoff show, which begins at 5PM ET from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The show airs live on the WWE Network.
Ryback is getting a strong push right now as a heel, as he turned within the last month and the company seems set to give him a big summer. He really doesn’t need to win the championship belt in order to look strong. Kalisto is a newer star for the company and someone they seem set to keep in a profiled spot as he draws in kids and Latin American fans. He is a very exciting and entertaining performer, and fits into the underdog role as he stands just 5-6.
While Ryback doesn’t need to win this match, they also can’t afford to have him pinned or submitted to make him look like a top heel going forward. If he were to be pinned on a fluke, he would have to have a big attack on Kalisto afterwards to draw heat. Instead, I think Kalisto will win, but by DQ. This keeps the belt on him but allows Ryback to stay strong as well, as he will probably get frustrated and use a weapon on the smaller fighter.
WRESTLEMANIA 32 FREE PICK: KALISTO -150
