WWE Backlash '23 Betting Update For May 2

A couple of BetOnline's markets for Saturday's WWE Backlash show have been adjusted since yesterday's update.

In the first, Seth Rollins has returned into -1,000 for his bout against Omos. 

When the market last changed, Omos had dipped from +500 into +425. However, he has now returned to +500 following Rollins' odds moving in.

On last night's episode of Raw, Austin Theory - who will defend his US Championship in a triple threat against Bronson Reed and Bobby Lashley on Saturday - was drafted to Smackdown. 

That means Theory will be moving to the blue brand along with Lashley, who was selected to go there during Friday's portion of the draft. With Bronson Reed confirmed as a Raw wrestler, that should realistically mean he now has the longer shot of winning the US Title.

Gunther will be taking the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Smackdown to Raw. So, it should be Theory - or Lashley - taking the US in the opposite direction. 

In my opinion, Lashley should now be the second-favourite. But, that isn't the case. Raw's Bronson Reed is sandwiched in-between the two soon-to-be Smackdown wrestlers in the betting.

As can be viewed in the table above, Theory's odds to get the W have descended into -2,000 from -400 with both of his opponents moving out. Reed's have double from +250 and Lashley is now up to +700.

The rest of the Backlash markets are unchanged since yesterday. Here are the prices for all of the selections as of 7:00PM BST this evening.
