Finn Balor Returns To SummerSlam Favouritism Plus More

Finn Balor has once again become betting favourite to beat Sami Zayn at tonight's portion of WWE SummerSlam.

As of the time of writing, the BetOnline Sportsbook is currently offering the former Judgment Day leader at -130 over the -110 for Zayn.

That's a drop from the +130 Balor had been since late last night.

BETONLINE	Sami Zayn	Finn Balor
28/7 5:06PM EMAIL	+200	-260
28/7 6:25PM	-120	-120

1/8 10:45PM	-170	+130
2/8 5:30PM	-110	-130

The Irishman had started out as the favourite, when wagering on this match first began earlier this week. The initial adjustments saw Zayn plummet from +200 into -250 across two days. From there, Balor's descent began from +170.

The winner of the contest is tentatively set to wrestle CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Championship following Punk's victory over Cody Rhodes in one of the key bouts of last night's card.

That isn't the only market with adjustments I've noticed on this early evening's visit to BetOnline's website.

Dominik Mysterio's SummerSlam Odds Dip

Dominik Mysterio's odds to beat Danhausen, in the Human Monies on a Pole match, have been snipped from +275 into +200.

2/8 2:05AM	-450	+275
2/8 5:30PM	-300	+200

The move for Mysterio now places Danhausen up from -450 to -300 to win a match geared towards his gimmick.

Interim WWE Women's Championship Betting Adjustments

The market for the five-woman ladder match, to crown an interim WWE Women's Champion, has seen two selections shorten while the rest of the field has drifted.

BETONLINE	Cargill	Flair	Green	Stratton	Legend

2/8 5:30PM	+500	-300	+225	+1,200	+900

Charlotte Flair, who became an odds-on favourite yesterday, has now dropped into -300. The match's second-favourite, Chelsea Green, has also seemingly been backed because her odds have been taken into +225 from +250.

Jade Cargill is now +500 from +325, Las Legend has risen to +900 from +800 and Tiffany Stratton - who recently fell from +1,000 into +850 - has now jumped up to +1,200.

No Change For Other SummerSlam Betting Markets

The rest of the sportsbook's betting coverage of WWE for tonight remain as they were when I wrote this morning's post. 

For those looking for a quick look at the prices, they are:

Penta +575

Chad Gable -1,250

Trick Williams -300

Baron Corbin +200

Roman Reigns -2,000

Seth Rollins +700

Prices correct as of 5:30pm BST. The latest can be found on BetOnline's WWE Page.

SummerSlam 2026 Odds As Of Sunday Morning

I have just checked over the BetOnline Sportsbook's markets for night two of WWE SummerSlam '26. Here are all of the latest prices as of 10am BST.

Danhausen .vs. Dominik Mysterio

I looked at the markets immediately following the conclusion of last night's portion of the event. When I did so, I noticed Danhausen's odds - to beat Dominik Mysterio in the Human Monies on a Pole Match - had reduced from -350 into -450. They currently remain at that price.

BETONLINE	Danhausen	Dominik Mysterio
28/7 5:06PM EMAIL	+150	-200
28/7 6:25PM	-200	+150
29/7 10:30AM	-500	+300

1/8 2:05PM	-200	+150
1/8 8:00PM	-400	+250
1/8 10:45PM	-350	+225
2/8 2:05AM	-450	+275
2/8 10:00AM	"	"

Sami Zayn .vs. Finn Balor

The market for the number one contender's match, between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor, is still showing the same pricing from before the start of night one.

BETONLINE	Sami Zayn	Finn Balor
28/7 5:06PM EMAIL	+200	-260
28/7 6:25PM	-120	-120
29/7 10:30AM	-200	+150

1/8 2:05PM	-200	+150
1/8 10:08PM	-180	+140
1/8 10:45PM	-170	+130
2/8 10:00AM	"	"

Zayn is favoured, at -170, while Balor - whose odds have been declining this weekend - is +130.

Roman Reigns .vs. Seth Rollins

Roman Reigns is still a -2,000 favourite to retain the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins.

BETONLINE	Roman Reigns	Seth Rollins
2/7 2:57PM EMAIL	-500	+300
4/7 10:25AM	-600	+350
5/7 7:30PM	-1,000	+550
28/7 10:45AM	-1,500	+600
1/8 8:00PM	-2,000	+700
2/8 10:00AM	"	"

The challenger remains a +700 underdog.

Penta .vs. Chad Gable

Another market, which had adjustments made to it during the first night, was for Penta's WWE Intercontinental Title defence against Chad Gable.

BETONLINE	Penta	Chad Gable
14/7 11:00PM	+550	-1,000
16/7 11:35PM	+600	-1,500
2/8 2:05AM	+575	-1,250
2/8 10:00AM	"	"

As you can see, a bet - or bets - landed on the champion to retain with a win over the hometown challenger. 

Penta's dip, from +600 into +575, resulted in the bookies placing Gable up from -1,500 to -1,250.

Trick Williams .vs. Baron Corbin

The market for the WWE United States Championship has surprisingly stalled since yesterday afternoon. Before then, it appeared as though there was one-way traffic coming in on Baron Corbin to beat the titleholder.

BETONLINE	Trick Williams	Baron Corbin
28/7 5:06PM EMAIL	-4,000	+1,000
28/7 6:25PM	-2,000	+700

30/7 10:00AM	-900	+500
30/7 7:45PM	-500	+300
1/8 2:05PM	-300	+200
2/8 10:00AM	"	"

The challenger, who kicked off at +1,000 on Tuesday, is currently being offered at +200. Trick Williams, on the other hand, began as a heavily-favoured -4,000 but has moved up to -300 due to punters appearing to back a betting upset.

Ladder Match for the Interim WWE Women's Championship

Remember above, when I noticed that betting has opposed a win for a hometown wrestler with Penta being backed over Penta? Well, here's a reversal of that notion.

BETONLINE	Cargill	Flair	Green	Stratton	Legend
1/8 1:22PM EMAIL	+110	+200	+300	+400	+600
1/8 1:40PM	"	+300	+200	"	"

1/8 2:37PM	+175	+125	"	+750	"
1/8 4:10PM	+300	-200	+250	+1,000	+800
2/8 2:05AM	+325	"	"	+850	"
2/8 10:00AM	"	"	"	"	"

Sometime during night one, the odds for Minnesota's Tiffany Stratton to win the Interim WWE Women's Championship were snipped from +1,000 into +850.

As a result, the bookmakers increased Jade Cargill's price from +300 to +325. The remaining selections have stalled.

Charlotte Flair leads as a -200 favourite. She's followed by Chelsea Green at +250. Then it's Cargill, Lash Legend (+800) and Stratton.

I aim to visit a few more times ahead of showtime. In the meantime, you can check out BetOnline's WWE Page for the latest prices.
