You’d think that if someone is either defending or challenging for a title in their hometown, WWE would book them to win. However, that hasn’t been the case in recent months, and according to the latest shift in the betting odds for tonight’s Payback show, it won’t be the case tonight either.
Bayley is coming into tonight’s show, which is taking place in her hometown of San Jose, California, as the Raw Women’s Champion, and according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the current champ will lose the title to Alexa Bliss.
Bayley was originally listed as the favorite to win, however, the odds changed when the “smart money” came in. So, it does in fact look like Alexa is going to become the first woman ever to win both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Do you think Alexa should win the title tonight? Or should WWE have Bayley retain in her hometown? Let us know in the comments below, or over on Facebook!
