The betting odds used to be very accurate once the smart money came as the results would get leaked. However, the smart money stopped coming in consistently for WWE pay-per-views in July of 2017. Up until that point, the smart money would come in for almost every WWE pay-per-view for years.

Below are the betting odds for tonight with the favorites listed first. For those unfamiliar with reading the betting odds, a minus sign represents the favorite, while the plus sign indicates the underdog.
