Last night's main event - which saw Roman Reigns retain the WWE Universal Championship against Edge and Daniel Bryan - was a winning selection in Sky Bet's market in which customers could have gambled on the contest they believed would close out WrestleMania 37's second evening.
Sky Bet first priced up its market in early-March. This was when Roman Reigns versus Edge was being advertised for the PPV. At the time, the selection was a 1/20 favourite to be the closing match of night two with what turned out to be the night one opener - Bobby Lashley .vs. Drew McIntyre - an 8/1 second-favourite.
By mid-March, and with there being hints that Daniel Bryan could become an additional dance partner for both Reigns and Edge, Sky Bet added the eventual winner at 9/1,
It didn't last at that price for long.
As bettors gambled through March, and the storyline progressed on WWE Smackdown, the selection tumbled all the way down to the same price Sky Bet initially offered for the Reigns versus Edge singles match to be the closing contest of the event.
The sports betting firm graded its night one main event market shortly after Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair wrestled to close out Saturday's part of the event. You can read about the results of that market in THIS POST.
