Becky Lynch .vs. Sasha Banks Wins Match Of The Night For Clash 2019 And More

The Becky Lynch versus Sasha Banks match, from this past Sunday's WWE Clash of Champion 2019 PPV, was given the most stars in Dave Meltzer's review of the event.

This means that all of the Wrestling Observer themed star ratings betting markets that were published by Kambi for the Pay-Per-View will now be settled.

Sasha Banks' disqualification win over the WWE Raw Women's Champion was given three-and-three quarter stars from Meltzer.

The match qualified as 'Any Women Match' in a market in which customers could have gambled on the bout that would end up being the 'Highest Rated' in the issue. It was a 33/20 second-favourite to the AJ Styles .vs. Cedric Alexander match for the United States Championship match, which received two stars from the reviewer.

With the highest rated match picking up 3.75 Stars, another market which gave customers the opportunity to punt on the 'Exact Star Rating of the Highest Rated Match' will now be settled with the 'Exactly 3.75 Stars' selection settled as a 9/4 win.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks were placed in a head-to-head in opposition to the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship match, which saw Bayley beat Charlotte Flair. The latter was given one-and-a-quarter stars in the review, so 'WWE Raw Women's Championship' turned out to be the correct favourite. It was 17/20 from Thursday all the way through to the start of the show on Sunday night.

Kambi's Over/Under line for the match was set at three-and-a-half stars, so the 'Over' won by quarter of a star at odds of 13/10. As you can see below, the market had little to no activity from the day it was installed right up to its closing.

In a post published yesterday, I noted that the oddsmakers have already released star ratings O/U lines for the two matches announced for the upcoming WWE Hell in a Cell 2019 PPV one of which is a rematch of this month's highest rated bout.

Becky and Sasha are going to have to go one better this time as the line for their Hell in a Cell match is 3.75.

For those interested, they've set a line of 3.50 for Seth Rollins' Universal Title defence against Bray Wyatt.

Results Of Other Over-Under/Props/Specials
Here are the results for all of the other O/U lines from last Sunday's PPV.

The majority fell below the lines that Kambi set up. The linemaker had the main event correct as Meltzer rated it exactly on the nose - 3.50 Stars.

As mentioned above, the WWE United States Championship match was Kambi's favourite to end up being match of the night. It appeared in a head-to-head market where it had to get more star ratings than either of Seth Rollins' performances of the night.

The two stars given to the US Championship contest did not fare well against both of Rollins' matches. 

Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman's failed WWE Raw Tag Team Championship defence beat Styles .vs. Alexander by quarter of a star while Rollins' successful Universal Championship defence against Strowman won by a star-and-a-half.

Gamblers evidently felt the US Championship match would win the head-to-head as the odds for the selection fell from 4/6 into 13/25 between Thursday and Sunday evening. The eventual winner began at 7/5 and was 33/20 when the market closed.

There were a couple of proposition markets available for the show.

The first - titled 'Curtain Raiser' - asked customers to bet whether or not they thought the match that would end up being the highest rated would end up being placed as the opening match on the main card.

The 'No' was backed from 7/25 into 1/4 and this turned out to be the correct play as Becky Lynch .vs. Sasha Banks was the sixth match of the PPV.

'Joint Winners' gave customers the opportunity to wager on there being more than one match with the highest star rating in Dave Meltzer's review. This obviously went to the 'No' as the three-and-three-quarters for the Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks match wasn't equalled by the rest of the card.

I'll return with another one of these results posts following Hell in a Cell next month.
