Further Match Previews
Gunther vs Pat McAfee
A non-title bout, but potentially the most entertaining. Gunther at 1/12 is near-certain according to the odds, but McAfee (6/1) always brings unpredictability. If anyone’s going to shock the card, it’s the wildcard from commentary.
| Gunther vs Pat McAfee | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Gunther | 1/12 | 92.3% |
| Pat McAfee | 6/1 | 14.3% |
Becky Lynch vs Lyra Valkyria
The most competitively priced match of the night. Lynch is 2/7 favourite, but Valkyria at 5/2 has a credible shot. Keep an eye on this one for a potential upset.
| Becky Lynch vs Lyra Valkyria | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Becky Lynch | 2/7 | 77.8% |
| Lyra Valkyria | 5/2 | 28.6% |
Championship Wildcards: Fatal Four-Way and IC Title
The Fatal 4-Way for the United States Championship (Jacob Fatu vs LA Knight vs Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre) and Dominik Mysterio vs Penta for the Intercontinental Title were unpriced at time of writing but are expected to have odds available on event day.
Both matches have the potential to reshape WWE’s mid-card title scene, especially with Drew McIntyre and LA Knight’s popularity still peaking.
