WWE has held discussions with state gambling regulators in Colorado and Michigan to legalize betting on scripted match results, sources said.

WWE is working with EY, commonly known as Ernst & Young, to secure match results so they won’t leak to the public.

WWE creative executives don’t plan to inform wrestlers who will win until hours before a match.

WWE aims to have major sports betting companies offer bets on high-profile matches.

Reminds me of superbowl props like gatorade color and length of the national anthem which are known by many people before hand. The way books cap their exposure is by limiting the max bet to a nominal amount compared to match results. Hard to imagine this being a thing beyond that.

This is funny to me not because of betting but because I can’t even comprehend people watching it past the age of 12 lol
