Looking to place a bet on Orton Vs McIntyre? While wrestling matches are pre-determined, the results are often logical and secretive. This makes WWE a great wagering prospect for sports betting fans.

Hell in a Cell is one of WWE’s flagship events — and this year’s build-up has been unmissable. Here’s hope it lives up to the billing come pay per view night.

If you like your odds, read on to learn how you can bet on WWE programming and find the most reliable wagering experience for Hell in a Cell 2020.

What are the best odds for Randy Orton Vs Drew McIntyre?

Stats aren’t always reliable when it comes to WWE because the answer is always in the writing. But betting odds can be a great indicator of where the result is heading. We’ve scoured the web to find some predictions being made by online casinos to see whether Orton looks like a safe bet. Here’s our findings:

  • Sky Bet: Orton at 1/1 and McIntyre at 8/11

Even though online casinos like Sky Bet give Drew Mcintyre a slight edge, the odds are tight and Orton could prove to be a value pick. You never know when an RKO could strike and stun the champion.

If you want to check for yourself, in our experience wading through search engines to find WWE betting options can be time-consuming and of course, the odds are ever changing. We recommend using review sites like OnlineCasinos.co.uk to kick off your search. This way you immediately refine your results to sports betting and get an idea of where each site ranks amongst the competition.

Although odds can be a great indicator, don’t rely on review sites alone. There are a few checks you can perform to see if a particular site is right for your betting requirements. Read on to discover a few effective examples.

Finding a betting site that covers WWE matches

The dramatic world of World Wrestling Entertainment has experienced somewhat of a resurgence in recent years This comes after signing a broadcast deal with Fox, and a string of acquisitions from UFC such as Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar.

Many believe these wholesale strategy changes have enabled WWE to legitimize its product as a true competitive sport. And when sports is shown, sports punters are never far behind trying to predict the outcome.

Betting on Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell is no different than wagering on the result of a basketball game. The nuances appear when you are trying to nail down what sites cover WWE betting because the pastime remains much more niche.

Confirming the betting site has a good reputation

Always bet using a site with a strong reputation, Hell in a Cell 2020 or otherwise.

Some betting sites are unsafe and seek to tempt you into making real money wagers you’ll never see again. So, when looking to place a bet on Orton Vs McIntyre be extra vigilant and look for a website with a good — long standing — track record in the betting industry.

Not all new sites are unreliable, but betting on Hell in a Cell with cemented brands adds an extra sense of security. In the UK, for example, gamblingcommission.gov.uk is the leading regulator of online gambling. A betting site with this certificate or logo on their website will have passed all the necessary tests and checks to operate legally, confirming the betting site has a good reputation.

The last thing you want from your wager is any more unnecessary risk, it will only serve to suck the fun out of your experience. Plus more renowned sites are likely to have better customer service, meaning if anything does go wrong someone will be around to help out.

Take a look at the bonuses and promotions

Potential bonuses and promotions are the cherries on top the cake that is betting on Orton Vs McIntyre.

The betting industry is a competitive world and all of the sites are vying for your business. This means that they want you to bet on WWE using their site. To do this they’ll often offer new customers some top tier incentives.

Look out for deposit bonuses and free bets, these are generous offers that can see you placing bets with little of your own money on the line. Check out a variety of sites and pick the best offer for you.

If you think that Randy Orton is going to secure the WWE Championship and Hell in a Cell, consider placing a bet to up the ante. But if you do, use this article to guide you to the best places to wager on WWE.

Joey Ryan files second lawsuit against accuser

Joey Ryan has filed a second lawsuit against another woman who lives in California after she accused him of inappropriate behavior this past June during the height of the #SpeakingOut movement. The lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles Central Judicial District.

The lawsuit states that the woman used social media to publish defamatory remarks against him including sexually assaulting her, engaging in sexual acts without her consent and forcing her to engage in sexual acts through fear and intimidation.

The indie wrestler also added that the defendant published all these statements fully aware that he lives in Los Angeles and that he was a promoter in the state of California, running shows in the area, so her statements caused a negative effect on his career and income.

Ryan is denying all the accusations against him from this particular woman and said that the defendant was fully aware that the defamatory statements were not true.

He is requesting $25,000 in economic damages, $25,000 in non-economic damages, and an injunction to retract all statements leveled against him.

James Storm reveals planned post-WrestleMania WWE debut

In an interview with ProWrestlingSheet.com, former TNA champion James Storm revealed that he was supposed to debut for WWE after WrestleMania 36 but the coronavirus pandemic has put everything on hold.

Storm, who had a short stint in NXT back in 2015 before returning to Impact Wrestling, said that originally WWE contacted him during the Royal Rumble weekend but he missed the e-mail as he was doing stuff for the NWA but was ready for Mania week.

The 43-year-old told Ryan Satin that he did all the physical exams and purchased new gear, agreed on all the terms with WWE and signed the deal.

But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, WWE hit the brakes on Storm and he was told it’s not going to happen for now. Storm said the last time he had a talk with WWE was in July. “You just take it and keep rolling,” he said. “It’s not their fault. It’s just how everything is right now.”

Storm hopes that he will still get the call down the line and hopefully reunite with his old tag team partner Robert Roode.

Alexa Bliss suffered the wrath of fans after making a comment supporting her ex-boyfriend Murphy in his angle with Aalyah Mysterio, the 19-year-old daughter of Rey Mysterio.

In a tweet which has now been deleted, the former Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion wrote, “Honestly I don’t blame him lol,” and then added the hashtag #ShootYourShotBud.

A number of fans pointed out that Aalyah is only 19 and Murphy is 32 and the angle is wrong on many levels.

“Getting attacked for writing about a show y’all are watching anyway,” Bliss wrote addressing the negative feedback. “Try to make one comment supporting my ex & now I’m the bad guy!”

Bliss then continued, “Do I know her or her age? No. Was I trying to be supportive of Murphy? Yes. Back off and calm down ppl. Just happy Murphy is getting the success he’s worked for. That’s all. Be bothered by something else.”

Bliss and Murphy were engaged but the two broke off their relationship in late 2018.

Joey Ryan, who was accused by several women of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior during the #SpeakingOut movement, filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against three of those women, claiming that they made false allegations against him.

The former Impact Wrestling star has claimed that he has since lost over $20,000 in monthly income since the allegations were leveled against him back in June, listing revenue sources such as merchandise, bookings, streaming revenue from his now defunct Bar Wrestling promotion, Cameo videos, Twitch, and others.

Ryan also said that he lost at least 11,000 followers from his Twitter account, and 8,000 followers from his Instagram account.

In the lawsuit, Ryan wants to prevent the three defendants from making or publishing any more defamatory statements against him, retraction of the original statements, and delete defamatory statements from all websites which covered the story.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that while Baszler and Jax did not test positive for COVID-19, both of them were in contact with an individual who did test positive for coronavirus so they have to quarantine for the next two weeks just in case.

Former NXT champion Robert Roode made his long-awaited return on Monday Night Raw yesterday after a very long absence attributed to coronavirus.

Roode responded to Drew McIntyre’s open challenge which was hyped up throughout the broadcast and headlined the post-PPV show. Unfortunately for Roode though, his return didn’t result in a successful win as McIntyre won via a Claymore kick.

This was the former NXT champion’s first match since the March 8 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view where he teamed up with Dolph Ziggler to take on Morrison and Miz, Heavy Machinery, The New Day, The Usos, and Lucha House Party.

Roode was said to be stuck at home in Canada and was unable to travel to the United States once the pandemic hit.

Both Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler said that they do not have coronavirus after their WWE Women’s Tag Team title match against The Riott Squad last night at Clash of Champions got canceled.

Responding to fans on Twitter, Jax said that she apologizes that the announcement scared some, but “all is great and healthy on my end” and suggested that her tag team partner is all well too, although she doesn’t speak for her.

Baszler, responding to someone who said that Liv Morgan got robbed of her title win and “must be the rona,” said that first, it’s not coronavirus and second, Morgan is “never gonna win anyway.”

Unlike with the Smackdown Women’s title match where Bayley ended up wrestling Asuka again after Nikki Cross was not cleared to wrestle, the Women’s Tag Team titles ended up not being defended on the pay-per-view as one or more individuals were not medically cleared.

Former World Heavyweight champion Christian and two-time Hall of Famer and 16-time World champion Ric Flair returned at Clash of Champions last night to haunt Randy Orton.

Christian showed up first, attacking Orton during the ambulance match against Drew McIntyre. Christian and Orton brawled for a bit and Captain Charisma laid the smackdown on Orton before exiting.

HBK Shawn Michaels also briefly appeared, delivering Sweet Chin Music to Orton on the top of the ambulance before pushing him over the top as payback for his attack weeks earlier.

And then finally, The Nature Boy was revealed to be the one driving the ambulance back. After McIntyre locked Orton in and replays aired, the referee signaled for the ambulance to leave. As the camera panned, it showed Flair behind the wheel. “I promise not to break the speed limit! Wooooo,” said Flair as he drove out.

Both Christian and Flair were victims of Orton’s attacks several weeks before.

John Pollock from POSTWrestling.com is reporting that there are two matches which have been taken off from tonight’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view.

The first match is the Bayley vs Nikki Cross match for the Smackdown Women’s title. Cross was a notable no-show on Smackdown on Friday with Pollock saying that a replacement for Cross is expected to be announced during the broadcast.

The second match is the one for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles with Baszler and Jax versus The Riott Squad. This match is completely removed and no replacement will be made. The problem seems to be with either oneor both of the current Women’s Tag Team champs.

No other information is available but the assumptions are these are COVID-19 related issues considering that the company suffered another outbreak recently.
