The IWGP Heavyweight Championship market closed with Tetsuya Naito a 1/5 favourite to get a result over the champion, Kazuchika Okada.
As you can see, the wagering was all in favour of the 2017 G1 Climax winner throughout the time the market had been open.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter star rating special was also one-sided. Customers, believing the line of six and then 5.5 Stars, was too high wagered on Dave Meltzer's eventual assessment being lower than the line.

It was cut from 5 stars into four-and-a-half.
As for the match market, it was mainly in favour of Omega despite some interest in Chris Jericho yesterday.

Interestingly, Kenny Omega closed at the same price he opened at - 4/9. His opponent started off at 6/4, but ended up at 31/20 before its removal this evening.
I'm unsure whether the markets will reopen because the show begins early tomorrow morning. I'll be watching it, so will publish updates when the results are confirmed.
Market open down here in Oz at the moment.
