7 things that must happen at Backlash

#7: Nakamura steals the gold

He'll do anything to win.

Shinsuke Nakamura's heel turn has, in just four weeks, made him hotter than he's ever been since coming to WWE. The no disqualification stipulation means that there's not much room to work with here. Things need to conclude somehow. That conclusion should be Shinsuke Nakamura using every cheap trick in the book to walk away with the gold he's sold his honor for.

Shinsuke Nakamura needs this win to keep his momentum, even if his reign turns out to be short. He's hotter as a heel than AJ Styles is as a babyface at the moment, and AJ trying to get his crown back from its usurper while also having to fight Samoa Joe for SmackDown's throne would make for a fabulous start to the summer on the blue brand.

This isn't unlikely, as Styles and Nakamura were advertised in triple threat matches for house shows this summer, alongside Baron Corbin, who's now gone. One has to think Samoa Joe has taken his place. We should be thankful for it.

Even if AJ Styles gets his title back before SummerSlam en route to a singles program with Samoa Joe, a win here would make Shinsuke Nakamura. He could use it far more than AJ Styles could. He's already a made man.
