They must know someone on the inside. Last PPV I think they only got 1 or 2 wrong.

If I am not mistaken, and I could be, I think it's a combination of people possibly leaking the results or those in the know betting on the winners and showing a quick rise in the odds due to this right before the show.

I've read a few things about why these odds are so accurate and I tend to believe it's because people can't keep secrets and that causes the betting to skew. But who knows. I've been up for like 18 hours and my thoughts aren't making sense to me.

Hey you know me, I'd believe that.

If I rated the matches individually I would have said....

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella & Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James & Natalya : 6/10 (better than I thought, nothing special comes to mind, decent match)
Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax : 5/10 (didn't feel like a PPV match)
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson : 5/10 (ehh wasn't good, wasn't bad)
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville : 6/10 (decent spots but felt rushed)
Charlotte (c) vs Bayley : 5/10 (too many botches, felt slow... not horrible but not great)
Kevin Owens(c) vs Roman Reigns : 8/10 (amazing back and forth, nice use of weapons, kept me interested the entire time)
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena : 9/10 (nearly a perfect match... had AJ won, would have been a 10/10)
Royal Rumble : 1/10 - (%$#@)

:laughing: The entire rumble was a huge freakin botch, but ... 1/10?! Not even if at n°30 had entered Vince naked :grinning:
I gave it 1 for Jericho being Jericho. I loved him doing what he did but to have him last that long and not be in the final 3 was disappointing.
