The lines for several key Backlash matches have shifted dramatically, some even flipping completely. While AJ Styles is now even more of a favorite at -900, Nikki Bella is no longer favored to win the Smackdown Women’s Championship with Becky Lynch now being favored at -490.
Also early on “the field” was favored to win the Smackdown Tag Team Championships over Heath Slater and Rhyno, with “the field” being the winner of the “second chance” match between the Usos and The Hype Brothers. Now Heath and Rhyno are favored to win at -405 and the Usos are heavily favored at -1200 to defeat the Hype Brothers make it to the finals.
Also Dolph Ziggler is now favored to defeat The Miz but not necessarily become IC Champ as a count out or DQ is possible and same goes for AJ Styles in the WWE Championship match.

For those confused about reading the lines here’s a quick explanation. Imagine Seth Rollins faces Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando and sportsbooks assign the following lines.
Roman Reigns -400 vs Seth Rollins +320
Roman Reigns is the favorite based on the -400 as the minus always signifies the favorite. -400 would mean $400 would have to be risked in order to win $100. Seth Rollins at +320 would be the underdog as a plus indicates the underdog. A $100 risk would win $320. It’s as simple as that. A minus(-) indicates how much needs to be wagered to win $100 and a plus(+) is for how much a $100 bet would win. This is done to present a balanced wager and it’s values are known to change dramatically and even flip completely.
