Toronto, Ontario, Canada will be hosting the 32nd installment of Summerslam at the Scotiabank Arena and will be broadcast live on the WWE Network. 10 announced matches currently have betting odds with 6 being championship matches. All champions are favored to retain, however with Summerslam being one of the WWE’s top annual events title changes can be expected so upsets are extremely likely.

Brock Lesnar recently regained the WWE Universal Championship after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase as a surprise entrant and subsequently dethroning Seth Rollins, who will be Brock’s challenger tonight. Lesnar is of course the favorite and betting against him is not a best practice when looking at the historical data of Brock winning even as a sports book underdog.

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has been on a hot streak since his historical title win at this year’s Wrestlemania and is favored tonight defending against Randy Orton. Every few years, Orton is “due” for a title reign but with these odds being very close, betting on Orton does not pass the “risk vs reward” barometer even with an upset being a fair possibility.

In a submission match, Becky Lynch defends the WWE Raw Women’s Championship against Natalya. Both women have very established submission finishers and Lynch is a heavy favorite. Natalya is often used as “utility talent” that can have a PPV quality match with any opponent and betting on the challenger as a huge underdog is tempting but not recommended, especially with no possibility of a DQ or count out win due to the submission stipulation.

WWE Raw Women’s Champion Bayley is favored in her defense against Ember Moon, but not by much and this match has potential to be excellent from an in ring standpoint, however the result could go either way. Another match that will deliver in ring is AJ Styles defending the United States Championship against Ricochet. The two have had some great athletic performances against each other recently and like the Raw Women’s Championship match, the odds are close and the result is up in the air. Drew Gulak will defend his well earned Cruiserweight Championship against Oney Lorcan with the champion being a big favorite.

Two legendary Hall of Famers will return to take on today’s crop of talent, however only one is favored to win. A returning Goldberg is projected to defeat Dolph Ziggler by a wide margin. With Goldberg losing his last two matches against both Brock Lesnar and more recently The Undertaker, coupled with Ziggler’s relatively low position on the roster, Goldberg being a heavy favorite is totally justified. The other Hall of Famer, Trish Stratus, is a huge underdog against Charlotte Flair. This is sensible with Charlotte still being positioned as the centerpiece of the entire women’s division.

We will also witness the debut of “The Fiend”, which is Bray Wyatt’s new gimmick that has been built up for months and the wait is over to finally see him wrestle a match, with his opponent being Finn Balor. Wyatt’s odds are extremely high in favor of winning, the highest by far of anyone else competing on the card. With the aforementioned months of build, the debut of The Fiend being a victory is a virtual lock.

Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens has the stipulation of upon losing KO must quit. While Owens is favored heavily, the stipulation could be a red herring that he will end up losing to start a story arch going forward, so an upset is most likely.

These betting odds are all under the “end of broadcast” judgment, meaning that the final announced result during the broadcast will be honored to account for a potential “Dusty Finish”. For those unaware, a minus sign indicates the favorite and the plus sign represents the underdog, with the corresponding number measuring how favorable or unfavorable a particular participant happens to be.
