Odds on Who is the Most Likley to Take the World Heavyweight Title from the Undertaker
Last week I did an article on the wrestler that is most likely to win the WWE Title from current champ Randy Orton. Today we will do the same, but this time switch to the SmackDown side, and do some odds on what grappler will eventually wrest the title away from the Undertaker.
1. Edge 3/1 - The "Rated R Superstar" is the best heel in the sport today, and he brings so much to the table in and out of the ring. No one can deny that Edge is maybe one of the brightest superstars in the WWE, and I don't think it's a stretch that he'll have plenty of titles in the future, and right now he's the favorite to take back to belt at somepoint in the next few months.
2. Big Show 5/1 - Show has been on a tear since his return, and I think that while this has been quiet so far, as feud between he and Taker can draw some money, and be a solid feud considering where each are at this point. Show can hang with the Taker, and with the Taker able to take wrestlers to the next level, this could be a great mid-summer feud if the strap stays with the Deadman.
3. Baitsta 7/1 - Being a face you would think we would not have many Batista-Taker matches, but we saw one last night on SmackDown, and will see another one, this time for the belt, on Friday night. Batista is at a crossroads right now with SmackDown and his character, and while I can see him moving to RAW in the draft eventually, I also can see him staying put with another title reign down the road.
4. Umaga 10/1 - On RAW, he's an afterthought, but many have put out there that the Samoan will be moved to SmackDown and be thrown right in a feud with Taker, which will be fresh and could draw some money at a bigger PPV like SummerSlam. Another wrestler that is already a very sold talent, and some matches with Taker can take him to the next level.
5. MVP 13/1 - Still the U.S. Champ and a guy that will at some point be a major player in the company. He's got the skills and the persona to be a great heel for a longtime, and while a few matches with Taker would be fun to see, a world title reign is likely still at least a year to two years away.
