#1 What will be the fate of the Universal Championship at WrestleMania Backlash?

In what would likely be the main event of WrestleMania Backlash, Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Cesaro. The Swiss Superman is in the middle of arguably his best singles push and has actually led fans to wonder whether he could be the one to finally dethrone The Tribal Chief.

WWE Hall of Famer Booker T even stated on his podcast recently that Cesaro might defeat Roman Reigns at WrestleMania Backlash to win the Universal Championship. He noted that the timing is right for this title change.

"I don't think it's bad timing (for Cesaro to win the title). He (Reigns) could win it back a month from now. I can actually see Cesaro winning, the fans loving it, we could always pull the trigger and get Roman Reigns back in that position. But for Cesaro to have that moment, you know, WrestleMania Backlash moment, could be the best thing (for Cesaro). That's the press, that's news, that's news around the world, that Cesaro wins the title over Roman Reigns. If Roman wins, it's just another win, so I can definitely see something like that happening," said Booker T.

However, the backstage reports still suggest that Reigns is the favorite to win this match at WrestleMania Backlash and retain his Universal Championship. It's possible that the match ends without a clean finish due to the interference of The Usos and Cesaro continues his feud with Roman Reigns after WrestleMania Backlash.
