Even though WWE Backlash is shaping up as an exciting event, the company has only announced four matches for the show. Unlike the Money in the Bank event, there isn't any mega bout that would happen at this PPV. It was surprising to learn that Vince McMahon did not book the Intercontinental Championship tournament final for Backlash.

The Creative could have booked this match for SmackDown to increase their ratings. However, they can still delay the crowning of a new champion till Backlash. As per the rumor mill, this match was 'unbelievable'. Thus, there is a possibility that AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan would tear the house down in a marvelous one-on-one bout.

Ultimately, none of them would have the stamina even to stand up and answer the referee's ten counts. Since this is a tournament, the only credible way WWE can end this match without a proper result is through a double count-out.

The organization can then announce a dream 'Last Man Standing' match between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan for Backlash.
