The heart of the matter
Here are the latest betting odds for WWE Payback (via Betwrestling.com):
Alexa Bliss is currently 4/7 (64 percent probability) to defeat Bayley for the RAW Women’s Title. The pair has been feuding since Bliss’ transfer over to RAW from SmackDown Live, by way of the Superstar Shakeup. Bliss won a No. 1 contenders match on RAW to earn the right to challenge the ‘Hugger’ for the strap.
All champions are favoured to retain their respective titles. That includes United States Champion Kevin Owens to defeat Chris Jericho, Cruiserweight Champion Neville to retain over Austin Aries, and RAW Tag Team Champions The Hardys to prevail against Cesaro and Sheamus.
Braun Strowman is a ½ (67 percent probability) favourite to defeat Roman Reigns in their match-up. Reigns hasn't been on WWE TV since he was assaulted by the Monster Among Men. Strowman is expected to beat Reigns clean – something that not many stars boast off – in order to look strong before he faces Brock Lesnar.
Here are the latest odds:
WWE Payback Odds

What’s next?
The bookmakers usually receive a stream of smart money in the last couple of days before a pay-per-view so expect to see a shift in the odds before Payback.
Author’s take
While betwrestling.com’s odds seem to be pretty on point, the match between Reigns and Strowman still interests me as I believe it is still a toss-up. Will you be betting this weekend?
