The betting odds from BetWrestling.com is in favour of Reigns for this match with the odds at -300 for Reigns and +300 for Lesnar.

The RAW Women's title will also be on the line at SummerSlam as Ronda Rousey gets a shot at a WWE Championship against Alexa Bliss, and she's a huge favourite (Rousey -420) to win her first WWE title (Bliss +300), while the SmackDown Women's champion, Carmella's triple threat match against Charlotte and Becky Lynch could be a close run thing (Carmella +115, Lynch +185, Charlotte +235).
The grudge match between Daniel Bryan and The Miz is also right down the middle, and the betting odds can't seem to call it at the moment (Bryan -105, The Miz -135).
