WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event Betting Odds: My Underdog Picks for May 23
WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XLIV goes down this Saturday, May 23, 2026, live from the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The show streams on Peacock starting at 7:30 PM ET, and the card is stacked with championship action and big-name matchups.
Here are the current betting odds (as of May 21) and my thoughts — with special focus on two underdogs I’m riding heavy: Ethan Page and Sol Ruca.
Intercontinental Championship Match
Ethan Page: +200
Penta (c): -300
(Implied ~75% chance Penta retains)
My Pick: Ethan Page
This is my favorite underdog play of the night. Page is still relatively new to the main roster and desperately needs a signature win to establish himself as a top guy.
Penta’s been a strong champion, but I see Page stealing this one with some serious heel shenanigans — maybe interference or a cheap-shot finish. It feels like the perfect time to put the belt on a fresh, cocky heel who can run with it.
Don’t sleep on +200 value here.
World Tag Team Championship Match
The Street Profits: +550
Logan Paul & Austin Theory (The Vision) (c): -1000
(Implied ~90.9% chance champs retain)
Lean: The Vision retains
These odds are heavy for a reason. Logan Paul and Austin Theory have been dominant. The Street Profits are always dangerous, but I don’t see the titles changing hands here.
Women’s Tag Team Championship Match
Paige & Brie Bella (c): -175
The Irresistible Forces: +135
(Implied ~63.6% chance champs retain)
Lean: Paige & Brie retain
Solid favorites in a rematch. The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend) are a threat, but I expect the vets to hold onto the gold.
Non-Title Match
Sol Ruca: +115
Becky Lynch: -155
(Implied ~60.8% chance Becky wins)
My Pick: Sol Ruca
Another underdog I love. Sol is 0-2 in big spots lately and this is non-title, so Becky can afford to take the L without it hurting her reign.
Ruca’s athleticism is next-level — this feels like the perfect bounce-back win to build her momentum heading forward. +115 is nice value on a rising star.
Six-Woman Tag Team Match
Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss: -200
Jade Cargill, Michin & B-Fab: +150
(Implied ~66.7% chance Ripley side wins)
Lean: Rhea, Charlotte & Alexa
The star power on one side is massive. Jade’s team has upside, but I expect the big names to get the W.
Final Thoughts
Saturday Night’s Main Event is shaping up to be a fun, old-school style special. While the betting market heavily favors the favorites in most matches, I’m going against the grain with Ethan Page and Sol Ruca as my top upset picks.
Both guys/gals need the momentum, and the booking feels right for surprise results without derailing bigger plans.
