John Cena was the original favourite to win the tournament, but the former WWE Champion has since been removed from the tournament and replaced with Bobby Lashley.
The heart of the matter
With John Cena now out of the tournament, the whole thing becomes a little more difficult to predict, and this is reflected in the updated odds.
Current Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins, is now favourite to win the tournament with odds of 5/2.
He is very closely followed by both The Miz and Rey Mysterio, who both have odds of 3/1.
The full odds for the tournament are as follows:
Seth Rollins (5/2)
Rey Mysterio (3/1)
The Miz (3/1)
Randy Orton (11/2)
Bobby Lashley (10/1)
Kurt Angle (10/1)
Dolph Ziggler (16/1)
Jeff Hardy (16/1)
These odds are likely to change a little bit over the coming days.
What's next?
The WWE World Cup tournament will take place this Friday at the company's Crown Jewel event, which will be broadcast live from Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
The quarter-finals of the tournament are: Seth Rollins Vs Bobby Lashley, Kurt Angle Vs Dolph Ziggler, Rey Mysterio Vs Randy Orton, and Jeff Hardy Vs The Miz.
