The closing favourite was Baron Corbin, who was 13/10 when the market was first installed last week.
As you can see in the table below, the favourite was backed into 23/20 by Saturday afternoon and was then lowered to 4/5 before midday on Sunday.
His price went down to the closing 4/6 sometime between 10:30AM and 4:00PM BST today.

The market for the second semi-final - which is set for tomorrow night's Smackdown - was also taken down this evening.
Chad Gable was a 1/3 favourite when I last checked in at 4:00PM BST today. He had started off at 1/4, but was moved up on Thursday when Elias was snipped from 5/2 into 2/1.

With Corbin and Gable favourites to win their respective semi-finals, 'Corbin .vs. Gable' to be Sunday's final was at the top of the 'Exact Combination of Finalists' market. The selection was 33/20 for days, but was lowered to 9/10 sometime between yesterday lunchtime and this morning.
It wasn't the only selection that was shortened in this period as the option to bet on a Ricochet .vs. Chad Gable final was taken down to 33/20 from 7/4.
The other possible outcomes were increased. You can view these adjustments in the table below.
One thing I did this morning was have a small wager on 'Samoa Joe .vs. Chad Gable' to be the final as I thought the 23/4 from 13/4 was appealing after seeing Joe mock Gable in a backstage skit on last week's Smackdown.
It could have been a red herring tease to make you think they'd end up meeting in the final, though. I still can't shake off the thought that we're getting Ricochet versus Elias...
