Sure the match will be great but that came out of nowhere really. At least WWE are doing something with Bayley now I guess.

'Wrestlemania Backlash' sounds like a headline after someone uncovered some racist tweets from Wrestlemania when it was in high school.

They are trying their absolute hardest to destroy any shred of credibility Asuka has left. Makes me wonder if her contract is up soon and she's thinking of walking. Because her career since the start of the year has been a complete disgrace for someone as skilled as her. She needs to go back to NXT if her deal isn't up, because it's painfully obvious Vince and/or Bruce is trying to bury her right now. For context: She only has 4 wins this year (26.3%), 8 losses (53.3%), and 3 draws as well (20.0%)

For the record WWE cares so little about this show that the top story on the site for it is still just Lashley vs. McIntyre. The other way's listed in the full card lineup but the header's just those two.

I see Braun as been thrown in to do the J.O.B.

I won't be able to watch Backlash live but I should hopefully get to watch it on either Tuesday or Wednesday with any luck lol. Not expecting much but I never do for Backlash tbh.

I still have a Peacock account and I still feel like I'm not going to bother to watch this.

I see Braun as been thrown in to do the J.O.B. To me that's the biggest red flag. There is zero intention for them to stop anytime soon with Drew/Bobby. Braun is just there so they can extend Drew/Bobby. I completely believe they are going to keep the feud going to Summerslam and I'm not convinced that will even be the end of it. It feels like a 50/50 shot that Survivor Series will be Drew vs Bobby still.

WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman (I want these three to get the hell away from each other. Should be a average WWE triple threat, which is fine. I hope Bobby retains and moves onto someone else. Drew winning would feel underwhelming and they took Bruans train noises away, so who cares about him anymore. The Fiend returns?)
Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Cesaro (I don’t think he’s winning but I’m happy Cesaro is getting his first solo world title match and on paper he’s the right guy to take the title from Roman. It just sucks he’s playing third (forth?) wheel in the feud. Maybe Jimmy costs Roman the match. Edge returns?)
Smackdown Woman’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Bayley (Love these two. Should be a fun match. They ain’t taking the title off Belair this early. Sasha returns?)
Raw Woman’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair (Average Triple threat match, should be fun. Ripley retains. Becky Returns?)
Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The Dirty Dawgs (c) vs. Rey and Dominik Mysterio (Give them the nice father / son moment, then we can forget the dirty dawgs ever existed. Aalyah returns?)
Lumberjack Match: Damian Priest vs. The Miz (I hate the Miz, these two have been feuding since the Rumble. Maybe if he moved on from the Miz, I would actually start caring about Priest. Bad Bunny returns?)
It’s a pretty underwhelming card. I don’t really see any of the champs losing besides maybe Bobby. They should call it Wrestlemania Whiplash, as it the same shit over and over again.

Here are my final predictions.
WWE Championship: Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman Lashley beats Strowman, and the feud between Lashley and McIntrye is extended to MITB or even Summerslam. Looking at the current state of the WWE title, I wouldn't be surprised if Jinder Mahal reemerges to the title picture come to SummerSlam (don't laugh). If there is more money to be made by pandering to the Indian market, then the WWE will do so.
Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Cesaro This will be a spot fest...a hope spot fest. Just like when Roman was feuding with Jay Uso, there were be lots of close calls and near finishes for Cesaro. Michael Cole will be in full cheerleader mode for Cesaro, as Ceasro comes within inches of winning the title. Cesaro will come up short, although pulling out the gallant fight. Next month, maybe we will see Roman vs. Jimmy, if they continue to build tension between the two.
Smackdown Woman’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Bayley I don't think they are taking the title off Bianca this year. At the same time, I don't see Bayley getting jobbed out so soon. Considering the current lack of depth on the women's roster at the time, especially on the heel side, I see this feud being extended for another PPV or two. When you think about it, Sasha is taking time off, Nia and Shayna have been treated like buffoons, and Carmella isn't nowhere near a threat. Realistically, who would be left to Bianca to feud with over the summer if she burns through Bayley on Sunday? Bianca retains but because of a disqualification or some other screwy finish.
Raw Woman’s Championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair This is a tough one to predict. It really depends on what the plans are for each one post Backlash, which isn't clear to me. Is Asuka on her way out of the WWE soon, as rumored? If so, it would seems logical for Auska to do the job. Rhea seems to be a tweeter between Asuka who is solidly babyface and Charlotte who is solidly heel. If Rhea wins, does she go full-fledged face against Charlotte next month? Charlotte could easily win and then Rhea becomes the sympathetic underdog chasing Charlotte for the title. Alexa, in all her voodoo, seems being positioned for the top heel spot on Raw. I would figure the Raw women's title would be a face champion vs. Alexa at SummerSlam, but who knows at this point? If I had to go out on a limb with this one, I'd say Charlotte pins Asuka, and MITB is Charlotte vs. Rhea.
Smackdown Tag Team Championship: The Dirty Dawgs (c) vs. Rey and Dominik Mysterio This is one of those let's create a feel-good father and son moment...why not? Besides the 24/7 title, the SD tags are the least relevant titles on the main roster. Neither of these guys could secure a spot on the WM card, even with the event spanning two nights. So yea, the Mysterios win, because there's nowhere else to go with the SD tag division.
Lumberjack Match: Damian Priest vs. The Miz The Miz has been on the main roster since 2006, and is one of the most versatile performers on the card, as he's been able to fluctuate between the bottom, mid, and top of the card over the years. He is the embodiment of a chicken shit heel. The Miz can put over Preist and make Preist look strong, especially if they are grooming him for years to come. The Miz can easily bounce back from a loss like he always does. D. Priest goes over because why not utilize the Miz to build new stars?

These shorter WWE PPVs still weird me out. A PPV shouldn’t be shorter than one of the weekly TV shows (but that’s more that the weekly TV shouldn’t be longer than a PPV).

I have no idea where you heard Asuka was leaving WWE. She just did an interview less than a week ago talking about how she enjoys working in the company and is mostly happy.
