The Rey and Dominik Mysterio versus Seth Rollins and Murphy tag team match, from this past Sunday's WWE Payback 2020 PPV, was given the most stars in Dave Meltzer's review of the show.
The bout, which saw the babyfaces score a win over Rollins and Murphy, was given three-and-a-half stars in the issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that was released this morning.
With all of the matches now having been given star ratings, the oddsmakers from Kambi will now settle all of the Observer-themed markets that were available for the PPV.
Firstly, the 'Exact Star Rating of the Highest Rated Match' market will be graded with 'Under 4 Stars' winning as a 4/5 favourite.
Its opposite selection - '4 Stars or More', which was 9/10 - will now obviously be graded as a loser.
The Mysterios versus Rollins and Murphy was up against Keith Lee versus Randy Orton in a head-to-head special in which customers could guess which - of the two bouts - would receive the most stars.
As you'll see, the winning contest was a 3/4 favourite over the 13/10 for Lee .vs. Orton and the 2/1 which was offered for those who may have wanted to punt on both matches receiving the 'Same Star Rating'.
The winning selection was one-and-a-quarter stars better than Lee .vs. Orton.
Another tag match, this one the for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, was the winning selection in a second head-to-head.
Bayley and Sasha Banks' title loss to Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax had three stars to the two-and-three-quarters that was given to the WWE Universal Championship contest won by Roman Reigns.
Going by the betting, it would appear that the consensus felt that the triple threat match would win this matchbet as the odds fell from EVS into 1/3 in the days leading up to the event.
The eventual winner - which also started off at even money - was moved up to 5/2 a day before the show and remained at that price right through to Sunday night.
A couple of proposition markets will also be graded with 'No' the winning selections in both.
In 'Joint Winners', Kambi asked customers whether two - or more - matches will receive the highest number of stars in Dave Meltzer's review.
The winning selection was a 2/5 favourite.
Kambi's 13/20 favourite will be graded the winner in the market titled 'Margin Of Victory'. In it, the oddsmakers asked whether there would be at least a half-star difference between the top match and the one that came second.
The closest match to the Mysterios versus Rollins and Murphy was the Big E versus Sheamus meeting. It received a quarter of a star less than the tag outing.
All of the matches had Over/Under lines. Here are the results along with a couple of notes.
* The line for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match was lowered from 3.25 into 3.00. Those that took the 'Under 3.25 Stars' will have winning wagers while those who might have bet later, and took the '3 Stars or More', will have the winning wager
** Keith Lee .vs. Randy Orton had a line of four stars initially, but the line was changed to 3.75. The 'Under' will win
