It's interesting to note that some of the matches have seen movement in the odds since the previous release earlier this week. In some cases, the favorites to win the matches have changed entirely.
Seth Rollins is now narrowly favored to win the Intercontinental Championship from Dolph Ziggler after being a narrow underdog earlier in the week. Similarly, Daniel Bryan and Kane are now favored to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships after being small underdogs a couple of days ago. In both bouts, however, the odds are so very close that they could flip-flop again right up until showtime.
With Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka also favored in their matches, if these odds hold true, we could be looking at four new champions tonight which would be a major shift for storylines heading into SummerSlam next month. Nakamura is a fairly decent favorite, while the odds in the Asuka vs. Carmella match are incredibly close, similar to the Rollins/Ziggler and Hell No/Bludgeon Brothers matches, so either side could emerge victorious there.
AJ Styles is the biggest favorite on the show in his match with Rusev, which is really no surprise. What is surprising is that Braun Strowman (-350) isn't an even bigger favorite over Kevin Owens (+250) in their steel cage match.
