During an interview on ESPN with Michelle Beadle on SportsCenter, Lesnar dropped a huge bombshell that last night at Monday Night RAW, he finished his MMA career.
“I’m officially closing the door on MMA,” Lesnar said. “It was hard. I re-signed last night with the WWE.”
Earlier in the day, Bovada had released the current betting odds for WrestleMania 31, and it’s quite possible now that some things could change. With only five days remaining until the biggest wrestling event of the year, Lesnar’s re-signing may alter things.

As you can see, the betting odds take into account everything that was officially confirmed by WWE on Monday night. The Tag Team title match has been added to the betting odds, while Konnor and Viktor have been added to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Don’t forget that there will also be one NXT name going into that battle royal. The winner of the NXT mini-tournament from WrestleMania Axxess will be put into the battle royal and have a chance at winning, which many on social media think could happen.
The betting odds for WWE WrestleMania 31 show some interesting favorites, but things could still change leading up to the big event. One big worthy note is that Brock Lesnar will be staying with the company for the immediate and distant future so that may truly end up swaying whether you put your money on Roman Reigns or on the champ.
