United States Championship match: Kevin Owens (C) vs. AJ Styles
Trending
You would think that a Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles match on pay-per-view would be a big deal, but their feud has been fairly underwhelming thus far.
I still expect them to have a great match on Sunday, potentially the match of the night, but I can’t say that I’m particularly invested in their current storyline.
As for the winner of the bout, I would like to see Styles leave Backlash as Champion to inject some life into the feud and keep it going for another month or so. Obviously, this would all but end Owens’ current ‘Face of America’ gimmick, but I’m not sure that’s working as well as anyone would have hoped.
I think WWE will use Backlash to move Owens away from this persona and also bring some meaning and prestige to the U.S. Title by putting it on AJ Styles.
Predicted winner: AJ Styles
