WRESTLEMANIA Backlash | Honest Predictions

Yes. You have read the title correctly, the name of the upcoming pay per view is WrestleMania Backlash, it will be taking place at the ThunderDome with the fans watching on screen in the arena, it is a stacked card, let's start the predictions.  

Match Card 
Lumberjack Match
Damian Priest vs. The Miz
I'm probably going to be repeating a lot of things in this predictions blog, that is what happens when you see the same match and segments, nearly every week on WWE TV. Priest needs this win more than Miz, the lumberjacks are added to make this one feel somewhat important, move these guys on to other opponents, thank you. Predicted Winner: Damian Priest.

SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode (c) vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio
Ziggler & Roode are a really good tag team, they seem to be left behind in terms of storyline narrative, the company really seems to be behind the Mysterio's lately, Dominik has been pushed way too early because of who his dad is, it looks like it will culminate in a tag title win on Sunday. Predicted Winners: Rey & Dominik Mysterio.  

SmackDown Women's Championship Match 
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Bayley
Ding Dong! Hello! are you still reading this? okay, good, this will be a good match, Bayley seems like a unfortunate place holder for Bianca to defeat, creative booking at it's not so finest. Predicted Winner: and still, SmackDown Women's Champion. Bianca Belair. 

WWE Championship Match
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman
Three powerhouses here in one match, the build has been decent but nothing special in all honesty, expect to see plenty of chaos and shenanigans resulting in Bobby possibly pinning Braun to remain champion, giving Drew a reason for a rematch seeing as he did not get pinned on Sunday. Predicted Winner: and still, WWE Champion. Bobby Lashley. 

RAW Women's Championship Match
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair
When Rhea became champion, it looked very predictable (no pun intended) Charlotte was going to challenge for the RAW Women's Championship, looking at the line up, it seems like Asuka may unfortunately be the one to take the loss, Alexa Bliss might appear and target Charlotte, thus taking her out of the match, when all is said and done here, there will not be a new champion crowned on the night. Predicted Winner: and still, RAW Women's Champion. Rhea Ripley.

Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cesaro
It is now time to talk about the main event of the evening, subject to change of course. it's about time Cesaro was in a title match, he may not win here at Backlash but he will no doubt put up a damn good fight, expect interference from Jimmy and Jey along with plenty of shenanigans from them to help their cousin Roman win this match. Predicted Winner: and still, Universal Champion, "The Head of The Table" Roman Reigns.

Thanks for reading.
