WWE Crown Jewel: 10 Last-Minute Rumours You Need To Know
7. Humberto Wins Battle Royale
Loathe as I am to talk about betting odds in these columns (they just spoil everything, in my opinion), there's been interesting movement on them in the last few days. The long and short of it is that Humberto Carillo was initially a wild outside bet when they opened but is now regarded as one of the favourites. If you're wondering why you should care about it... it's because they virtually never move.
When they do, it's because betting firms have learned something new from their insiders at the company. At the time of the match's announcement he wasn't considered a viable winner, but now he's got amongst the shortest odds which means the conversation has been had at some level within WWE. A level important enough for bookies to catch wind of it.
I should say he's not currently considered the favoutire (and I'll not potentially spoil the match for you by saying who is, you can google it easily enough), but the plummeting odds are more than enough for numerous outlets to pick it up as a story. If nothing else, it makes sense with his recent booking on Monday night Raw.
