MSG Betting Update: The final betting odds matched up with the match results for WWE's MSG special Saturday night.

- John Cena finished -1,350 over Seth Rollins at +650.

- Kevin Owens finished -2,000 over Chris Jericho at +1,000.

- Brock Lesnar finished -17,500 over Big Show.

- The Dudleys finished -170 over New Day at +130.
