A couple of days ago, the oddsmakers from Kambi put up a market where clients could bet on the match that they believe will be rated highly by the Observer's editor, Dave Meltzer. This market contained all of the matches scheduled for tonight's event along with an extra selection - 'Any Other Match' - which would cover any late additions to the card. You can read about their release in this post.
The Universal Championship match, which will have Brock Lesnar defending his strap against Samoa Joe, opened as a 9/10 favourite. However, it was the Raw Tag Team Championship match at 4/1 that appears to have caught the attention of the punters.
As of 4pm BST today, the iron man match is now down to 3/1.
Even though I haven't had a bet on this market during the time these odds have been available, I can understand why some may have had a punt.
With it being guaranteed to go thirty minutes at least, all four participants will have enough time to tell a story - based on how these matches tend to go - the ingredients of drama and tension will play a part in how it is received by the audience.
Having Jeff Hardy and Cesaro involved isn't a negative either.
For what it's worth, the last time the two teams met on a pay-per-view was at Extreme Rules 2017. The match was rated three-and-a-quarter stars in the following issue of the Observer.
With the Tag Team Championship match moving in, the oddsmakers have increased the price for Neville's defence of the Cruiserweight Championship against Akira Tozawa. It has moved from 6/4 into 2/1.
The problem Neville and Tozawa both face is the fact that their match is on the event's kick off. Unlike the thirty-minute iron man match, the bout will not be allocated enough time.
The markets can be found across all the casinos and sportsbooks that offer WWE odds from Kambi. A couple of examples can be found below:
