The bout which had the most stars in Meltzer's review of SummerSlam weekend was the ladder match for the NXT North American Championship, which was won by Damian Priest.
It received four-and-a-half stars from the newsletter's editor.
As you can see above, the match was Kambi's favourite to earn the most stars in Meltzer's reviews from the weekend.
The eventual winner started out at 6/4 on August 15th, but was down to 19/20 by the afternoon of the event.
With the highest rated match of the weekend being four-and-a-half stars, the selection named '4.5 Stars Or More' will be graded as the winner in a market in which customers could gamble on the 'Exact Star Rating of the Highest Rated Match' of the weekend.
The selection started off at 13/20 on August 15th. It was then down to 8/13 four days later. From there, the odds began to drift out and - by Saturday afternoon - had risen to 19/20.
The ladder match also appeared in a head-to-head market in which it was up against the Keith Lee versus Karrion Kross for the NXT Championship.
The ladder match won by a clear two-and-a-half stars as Karrion Kross' title win received two stars in the review.
There are two more head-to-head markets that will now be settled following the publication of the reviews.
In one, both of Asuka's championship challenges went up against each other.
Sasha Bank's Raw Women's Championship loss to her challenger was graded three-and-three-quarters in the review. It beat the Bayley versus Asuka match by half a star.
The McIntyre/Orton clash was the highest rated match from Sunday night, and second overall, with four-and-a-quarter stars. Therefore, it beat the best Asuka match from the event by half a star.
Asuka appeared in one of Kambi's Observer star ratings prop bets for the weekend as well.
Customers were asked whether the challenger to the women's titles would have a combined total of eight stars or more. After a few days, Kambi changed the prop to '7.75 Stars Or More'.
'No' will be the winning selection as Asuka's combined number is seven stars.
'No' will be graded in a couple of remaining prop bets.
As you can see above, the eventual winner was a 2/5 favourite initially, but fell to 7/20.
The proposition titled 'Margin Of Victory' saw customers gamble on the prospect of there being at least a half-a-star difference between the match of the weekend and the bout, or bouts, that finished in second place.
The difference was quarter of a star. As noted above, Drew McIntyre's successful title retention over Randy Orton was graded four-and-a-quarter stars making it the second best match of the weekend behind the four-and-a-half for the NXT North American Championship ladder match.
Kambi's over/under star ratings markets, for all but one of the matches from this weekend will also be graded. Below are the matches, lines and results along with some important notes.
* The Adam Cole versus Pat McAfee line started off at '2 Stars', but was moved to '2.75'. With the match getting three-and-three-quarters, both options to gamble on the number doing better than the line will be graded as winners
** Io Shirai .vs. Dakota Kai was initially '3.75 Stars', but was snipped into '3.5 Stars'. With the bout getting three-and-three-quarter stars, the winning selections will be '3.75 Stars Or More' and '3.5 Stars Or More'
*** Bayley versus Asuka had lines of '4 Stars' and '3.75 Stars'. The under will be the winning selection in both of these due to the match getting three-and-a-quarter
**** Sasha Banks versus Asuka had three lines over the course of its existence. The first line was '4.25 Stars'. It then went down to '4 Stars' and was then at '3.75'. The under will be the winning selections in the first two, but - with the match receiving three-and-a-quarter exactly - the third line will be graded with '3.75 Stars Or More' as the winner.
