The first market I'll look at is the one where customers can place wagers on Rousey winning either the Raw or Smackown Women's Championship at any point from the time of the bet being struck right up to the end of WrestleMania 35.
As you can see by clicking on the image above, the odds for Rousey to win either strap 'During SummerSlam' have been cut into 21/50 from the 1/2 customers would have found on Sunday before the SummerSlam meeting with Alexa Bliss was confirmed.
The bookies haven't only snipped the price for Rousey to win the title on August 19th, though.
The period following SummerSlam - which was 5/2 on Sunday - is now down to 9/4.
A coronation at WrestleMania 35 is still 1/2.
With Rousey officially next in line to challenge Alexa Bliss for the strap, it should come as no surprise to see Rousey's odds adjusted in the special where punters can back the successor to Alexa Bliss.
Rousey has moved in from 4/9 to 1/3. However, she isn't the only name to have shorter odds to last week.
Bayley went from 12/1 into 8/1, Sasha Banks from 8/1 into 6/1 and Natalya from 8s into 6/1.
In a way, I can sort of understand why Natalya's price has been cut. If Rousey doesn't win the strap at SummerSlam, I could see some punters believe that Rousey will get the strap after her friendship with Natalya implodes.
With that said, I doubt that's how she'll win the title.
Alexa's odds to be the person who delivers a defeat to Ronda has been snipped in the 'Conqueror' specials. As you can see by clicking on the table below, Bliss has been moved from 6/4 into 5/4.
Other names that have been cut are Ronda's much-rumoured WrestleMania opponent - Charlotte Flair - from 43/20 into 2/1 as well as Flair's Smackdown colleague, Asuka, who has fallen from 6s into 5/1.
Natalya has also been cut here as she was 7/1 over a week ago, but is now down to 5/1.
