There have been no shortage of stories lately regarding last-minute changes to WWE programming. Matches have already been pulled from SummerSlam and put onto TV, Vince apparently tears up the entire script right before they go to air, it's all just a little bit of a mess at present.

Importantly though - and this isn't something that's getting reported anywhere else at present - the betting odds for the four main title matches are considerably closer than they really should be. Betting odd patter is incredibly tedious, yes, and I'm also not going to go into which way they're currently leaning, but the science here is that normally whoever's winning is about 80-90% favoured on the odds. For SummerSlam though, everyone's only about 60-70%.

It doesn't take a genius to work out to that this means that plans backstage are not set in stone, and while they might be leaning certain ways in certain matches, they could all quite easily go the other way. It's tricky to make any specific predictions based on this, but don't be stunned to hear in the coming weeks that particular match results were called very late in the day.
