As you can see, the odds for 'Sister Abigail' have dipped from 11/10 to even money.
The match was announced as scrapped yesterday when WWE sent out word that Bray Wyatt was being replaced by AJ Styles due to illness.
There may have been a method behind the punters' decision to back 'Sister Abigail'.
Because of the way the match has been built, Paddy Power added a blurb at the top of this particular market that states 'Result will be the result of the match at WWE TLC 2017 based on the feud between Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor, irrespective of match participants'.
It's just an assumption on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if people had backed 'Sister Abigail' because of the 'irrespective of match participants' term that has been applied.
I believe any wagers on 'Sister Abigail' that have been made after yesterday's announcement have been placed in an attempt to have the term work in their favour.
I'm not one to make a call, but - in my opinion - this match is no longer 'based on the feud between Bray Wyatt and Finn Balor' as AJ Styles is not wrestling as 'Sister Abigail'.
Nice try, though.
