Orton had been an underdog when the 5Dimes Sportsbook released lines earlier this week. However, he has now been backed into -120 (1.83 EU, 5/6 UK).
His opponent, John Cena, is also priced at -120 with the bookmaker.
I'm not surprised to see the action fall in the way of Orton.
There have been teases that he'll turn babyface and - as the winner of Sunday's cage match will secure a match against current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar - an Orton versus Lesnar match at an upcoming PPV would appear like a fresh match-up to wrestling fans.
With there still being over three days before the show, it'll be interesting to see whether the fans will continue backing an Orton victory leading the sportsbook to price up John Cena as underdog.
Odds correct as of 12pm BST. For the latest, check out the betting board at 5Dimes.eu.
