WWE Backlash 2020: 5 Things we learned from the show

#2. Nia Jax will come again for Asuka

Asuka v Nia Jax at Backlash

If there was another major certainty to take from WWE Backlash, it's that Nia Jax isn't done with Asuka as yet.

The RAW Women's Champion successfully defended her title against Jax at the Performance Center - but I use the word 'successfully' in a loose sense, given it was only as a result of a double count-out.

I believe this was WWE's way of ensuring Jax can stay in the title picture for a while longer yet.

Asuka retains her title at WWE Backlash

That's probably pretty sensible, too. Since her return from injury several weeks ago, Jax has been booked as a major, unstoppable force on every episode of RAW, so it might not have made too much sense for her to be beaten clean by Asuka in what was her first high-profile match back.

Similarly, given the ceremonial way in which Asuka claimed the title at WWE Money in the Bank and given a seal of approval by Becky Lynch, it would have made even less sense for the Empress of Tomorrow to surrender her gold so early in her reign.

In short? After WWE Backlash, this is probably a match we'll be seeing again in the not too distant future.
