My Predictions: Wrestlemania Backlash 2022

 

Well, it's that time a year again, time to handle some unfinished business  from Wrestlemania. Will the victors remain the same?  Will scores be settled?  Will new alliances be made?  Who knows?  But here are my predictions for the matches slated to take place Sunday  May 8, at Backlash 2022.

Bobby "the Almighty" Lashley Vs Omos

I personally have no interest in this match because I have no interest in Omos.  Omos has not shown me athletic talent.  He just relies on being big and taken advantage of smaller wrestlers by doing so.  Well, the Almighty will show Omos that he is not as all powerful as he would like to think.  The only way I see Omos walking away with a victory is if MVP gets involved.

Winner: Bobby Lashley (If a fair fight)

Happy Corbin Vs Madcap Moss

Here is another match I do not care for.  WWE creative took two great wrestlers or sports entertainers, and made them a punchline to their own jokes.  The only good thing that might come out of this match is that they let Moss get away from the Madcap gimmick after he beats Happy.

Winner: Madcap Moss 

the Bloodline Vs RKBro and McIntyre

This match should actually be two matches.  As a six-man tag match, that means no belts change hands.  This was the best way the writers could avoid the tag titles from being unified. Hopefully this will start a feud that will eventually lead to the Universal Championship and the World Championship from being Unified.  Each brand should have their own belt. As much as I respect RKO, I like what the Bloodline has done more.

Winners: the Bloodline

the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes Vs Seth Rollins

Seth wants to win and prove that Cody only won at Wrestlemania because Seth didn't know his opponent.  He feels embarrassed to have lost to someone who  he has beaten in the past on more than one occasion.  What Seth fails to realize is that this is not the same Cody Rhodes he has fought in the past.  This is the American Nightmare, who has proven time and time again that he is worthy to be in the main event.

Winner: the American Nightmare

I also predict that we will see Seth loose it and take some time to regroup and come up with a new course of action.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey (“I Quit” Match)

I am really looking forward to this match. Because it is an “I Quit” Match, most people are thinking Ronda should have it in the bag.  What those people forget is that the Queen can make you tap or submit just as quick.  I believe this will be a battle of the ages.  But I also believe the Queen will not lose her crown.

Winner: and still the Women's Champion, Charlotte Flair.

AJ Styles Vs Edge

Edge is trying to reform the Brood while AJ remains Phenomenal.  This match has the promise to be the match of the night, hell it might be a contender for match of the year.  We all know Edge is good and that AJ is Phenomenal, so this match should be great.  And since Priest is barred, you would think it would be a fair fight but the new Edge likes to play dirty so I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few tricks up his sleeve.  Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if someone AJ respects may just be the factor that costs him the match.  Only time will tell.  I still think AJ will win, but it could end with a DQ.

Winner: AJ Styles
