WWE Backlash: 6 Last minute rumours you need to know

5: Swerve in the women’s match

A surprise winner?

The conventional thinking going into the Six-Pack Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship is that either Becky Lynch or the returning Nikki Bella will leave Backlash as champion. Apart from Natalya, Becky and Nikki are the most experienced women in the division and by far the most over.

However, recent backstage rumblings suggest that WWE might try to use this opportunity to try and create a new star with initial reports suggesting that Alexa Bliss could be that person.

Eva Marie was initially reported to have been in the mix to win the championship but her untimely Wellness Policy violation forced a change of plans and WWE sees Alexa as someone who has a bright future.
