Fans and bettors shouldn't anticipate in-game betting will be permitted, even if legalized sports wagering is finally made available on scripted WWE contests. It was rumored in March that the WWE was having talks about sports betting with Michigan and Colorado gambling regulators. The states swiftly denied those assertions, with Colorado pointing out that betting on events with predetermined results is prohibited by its gambling rules. Endeavor is anticipated to keep pressing for WWE to be added to the sports betting options in select areas despite the initial opposition. The sports entertainment company is aiming to capitalize on the fact that some states allow betting on the Academy Awards, whose outcomes are audited and decided before being shown on television.
