WWE Backlash 2020 | Predictions

Hi and welcome back to the blog, It's time to predict the match outcomes for Backlash. I'm not sure if there are kick off matches currently scheduled. I guess we will find out via social media. Let’s begin.

Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus
This has been a good story to follow on SmackDown, they’ve added Jeff’s past issues into the mix, which adds some realism to it all, Could the hacker make an appearance  to provide important information in regards to who framed Jeff? Was it really Sheamus who did it? Reason why I say this is because I’ve thought of someone else who could be involved and his name is Sami Zayn. Who has been absent from television lately. Predicted Winner: Sheamus.

United States Championship Match
Apollo Crews (c) vs. Andrade
Apollo recently won the Championship so he’s not losing here. More dissension in Zelina Vega’s group is on the horizon. Predicted Winner: and STILL United States Champion. Apollo Crews.

Women's Tag Team Championship Match
Bayley & Sasha Banks (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs. The IIconics
We know that the end of the Sasha, Bayley team is near, Could it move one step closer with them losing their titles here? Are they transitional champions? I’m going to say yes, because I think a Championship will change hands on this event and it will be in this match. Predicted Winners: and NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions. The IIconics.

Raw Women's Championship Match
Asuka (c) vs. Nia Jax
I expect Kairi Sane to play a key part in this to get revenge on Jax and help her friend remain Champion. Predicted Winner: and STILL Raw Women’s Champion. Asuka.

Universal Championship Match
Braun Strowman (c) vs. The Miz & John Morrison
This could be a quick and competitive match with near falls from the challengers, This is just a stop gap until “The Fiend” reappears. Predicted Winner: and STILL Universal Champion. Braun Strowman.

WWE Championship Match
Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley has developed into a serious contender since aligning with MVP. I expect some shenanigans from the two I mentioned, as well as Lana, in an attempt to wrestle the Championship away from the Scot, which will prove to be unsuccessful. Predicted Winner: and STILL WWE Champion. Drew McIntyre.  

"The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever:" Edge vs. Randy Orton
It’ll be interesting to see whether or not this match lives up to the slogan. Edge and Orton are great wrestlers with a storied history. I sense that the feud will continue to SummerSlam. To my recollection, in the run up to this match, WWE have never mentioned there has to be a winner of this match. On that note, here is my prediction. No Winner.

There you have it, the predictions are now complete. Hope you enjoyed, the review will be available on Monday. Until then, thanks for reading.
