Yes, WWE Backlash is coming our way in just a few days and the excitement is...pretty average? At the end of the day, while the build may not have lived up to the expectations of one and all, the fact of the matter is that the actual pay-per-view, Backlash, could be a whole different story.
There's a great chance that WWE could be holding all their cards close to their chest and Backlash could be the stage where a few epic betrayals happen. So, which of the following betrayals that I have outlined in this article do you think are most likely at Backlash?
#5 Lana costs Bobby Lashley the WWE Championship at Backlash with a low blow
Trending
A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE
Bobby Lashley and Lana, long before Backlash was even on the horizon were showcased as a couple and were knee-deep in a rivalry with Rusev, Lana's actual husband, and yes, Liv Morgan too. And then, all of a sudden, it turned out that Bobby Lashley had become a lot more goal-focused in the middle of the year, and he chose to align himself with MVP over his kayfabe wife, Lana.
Hell hath no fury as Lana scorned and while she may have made it clear, on the surface, that she would be focusing on her own career going forward, I have a feeling that it is to throw us off track from the big swerve she could be pulling at Backlash. Yes, she could totally show up at the upcoming pay-per-view and hit Lashley with a low blow when the referee is distracted, allowing Drew McIntyre to pick up a big win.
It would bring a sense of closure to the whole Lashley and Lana storyline, something that it has needed for quite some time.
#4 Christian betrays Edge at Backlash
Yes, Christian has made it clear on multiple occasions that his career is over and done for good and that he will never return to the ring again. But here's why I think that the greatest wrestling match ever at Backlash 2020 could see interference from Christian to sow the seeds for an Edge vs. Christian match somewhere down the line someday.
It stems from the fact that despite everything that has been said by the announcers and the performers themselves, there is no way that Edge and Randy Orton can live up to the expectations of the greatest wrestling match ever when they do clash at Backlash.
The only way out is a betrayal or a dramatic finish in a sense, and if Christian were to show up out of the blue to take Edge out, it would take away all the attention from the premise of the 'Greatest Wrestling Match Ever' and have the WWE Universe focus on this development.
And yes, Christian could return for one more match in a cinematic environment where he doesn't have to take any bumps.
#3 Angel Garza costs Andrade the United States Championship at Backlash
Yes, Andrade and Apollo Crews are scheduled to take each other on at Backlash in a match that may well steal the show because these are two hungry guys with a point to prove at Backlash. But the match may not particularly have a clean finish because Angel Garza and Andrade showcased on RAW that they may not necessarily be on the same page, as we head into Backlash this weekend.
And this may well be Angel Garza's time to go babyface and come out to take Andrade out when he is on the verge of a big victory at Backlash. The fact of the matter is that even though I think that Backlash may be a bit premature to break these two men apart, Garza has a fairly decent command of the English language and he also has a whole lot of charisma. So, it is almost a certainty that if he is separated from Zelina Vega, he can still flourish and prosper on his own.
#2 Sasha Banks finally turns on Bayley at Backlash
On the surface, it seems like Sasha Banks and Bayley are on the same page considering that they defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross to become the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. Unfortunately, things may not be as rosy as it seems and they could definitely splinter at Backlash when they defend the titles. And the reason for this is that WWE has been building up the fact that they are not on the same page for the longest time now, in the build to Backlash and beyond.
Yes, there is a triple threat tag team match at Backlash for the WWE Women's Championship with an all-star cast of the most talented women in the WWE roster right now. But the fact remains that we all know that the big money match is Sasha Banks vs. Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
And so, at Backlash, when Bayley is on the verge of winning the match, Sasha Banks could knock her out, officially restarting the feud between the two women who made history in NXT.
#1 Alexa Bliss turns on Nikki Cross at WWE Backlash
While every other betrayal that I have mentioned thus far has been somewhat predictable, this is the one twist at Backlash that probably nobody will see coming, right? I mean Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross seem almost inseparable, united by their love for coffee, and it makes no sense to split the most adorable duo in WWE apart, you rightfully say!
But at the same time, the reason why Alexa Bliss could go rogue at Backlash is because of how good she is as a heel. And it could really allow Nikki Cross, who has shown on SmackDown that she has a unique personality of her own to bloom and blossom as a babyface and in due time, embark on a solo career of her own to really shine.
Which of the twists I have mentioned do you potentially see happening at Backlash and which of them would you like to see this weekend? Which of them do you think could eventually benefit the product?
