My Predictions for WWE Backlash 2023

 

Backlash looks to be a promising pay-per-view.  

However, with Vince in the mix, who knows?

Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar

No title is on the line for my first prediction.  The only thing on the line is PRIDE.  Cody failed to finish his story at WrestleMania when he lost to the Tribal Chief, but before he could add another chapter, Brock comes at him with a sequel.  What purpose does the Beast have for attacking the American Nightmare?  Who knows...does Brock really need a reason?  To most fans, they think Brock will win after hitting a few F5s but I think Cody will surprise you.  In fact, I think Cody will win this match and have a strong chance of winning the new Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions.

Winner: the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes

Bad Bunny vs. Damian Priest (San Juan Street Fight)

This match could be interesting because Bad Bunny has shown us he has skill, but the man who trained him is his opponent.  For that reason alone, I think Damian Priest has an edge.  But who knows, it is a street fight so it is possible that Bad Bunny could have an EDGE of his own.  I think that Bad Bunny will impress, but I also think that Damian Priest will dominate!

Winner: Damian Priest

SmackDown Women's Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Zelina Vega

I have been a fan of Zelina's since I first saw her debut as Rosita on TNA wrestling back in the day,  She has come to the WWE to prove the doubters that she can be the top female in the industry.  Hell,  she's the first Queen of the Ring for Pete's sake.  So why are people having a hard time seeing her as a single's champion?   Well, it might have to do with the fact that the champion is the destructive Rhea Ripley.  These two warriors have battled before and Zelina has been the conquered on more than one occasion.  However, this match is in her native land of Puerto Rico and she has the LWO in her corner, which she make this match a fair shot at the Smackdown title.  It is because of this, that I believe that Zelina has a chance of walking out your new Smackdown Women's Champion.

Winner: Zelina Vega

Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. The Bloodline

No titles on the line, but this should be a classic throw down.  The only disadvantage is Riddle has not worked with Owens and Zayn as much as the Bloodline has been together.  The USOs better win for the sake of the Tribal Chief or I feel that he may have a message deliver by the hands of  Solo if they fail.  I know the Champs have been on a roll, I believe that the Bloodline may be victorious in this match.

Winners: the Bloodline

Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair vs. IYO SKY

Oh, how I wish the best for Iyo Sky to win the championship. I have followed Iyo for basically her entire career. Iyo definitely has what it takes to beat the EST of the WWE to become champion.  I do see a couple of bumps in the road in the form of her Damage CTRL cohorts.  Jealous is an ugly thing and you know they wish they also had the opportunity for the title.  If this is kept to a fair match,  I believe that Iyo  will fly high and capture the gold.

Winner: Iyo Sky

United States Champion Austin Theory vs. Lashley vs. Reed

A town down all day baby.  Love him or hate him, you cannot deny the talent that is Austin Theory.  Sure, Lashley is the Almighty and Bronson is an unstoppable force, but the match itself is not a favorable contest.  If I was Theory, I would just let the big men fight it out and the pin one for the 1,2,3!

Winner: Austin Theory

Seth "Freakin" Rollins vs. Omos

This match will be a classic.  Omos is nothing but a big bully who thinks he can manhandle the architect Seth "Freakin" Rollins.  Oh, how Omos and MVP will find out just exactly how dangerous Rollins can be. Rollins will tear Omos apart piece by piece and finish him off with the Stomp heard round the world.  Then Rollins will be able to focus on his triple threat match to earn his spot for the WWE Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions.

Winner: the Architect, Seth "Freakin" Rollins

Hell in a Cell (My Predictions)

 

Today is one of my favorite days of the entire year.  Why?  Because it is time for the Hell in a Cell!  This is by far one of my favorite wrestling pay-per-views ever.  Granted, they are not as violent as they used to be, but there are some really good matches no matter how lame some may think the card is.  I understand that a lot of fans are disappointed because it's mostly a RAW and they are afraid they will not see the Bloodline, but you never know what surprises Vince has in store.  Hell, maybe the Bloodline will come down and interfere in Seth's match.  You really don't know what is going to happen.  That's why it is called Hell in a Cell.  Let's go ahead and get to my picks.

Madcap Moss Vs Happy Corbin

First up, is the last match added to the card, Madcap Moss Vs Happy Corbin. Since this is more of a payback for all the crap Moss had to take from Happy, I believe it is going to be a brawl and not a match.  With that said, Corbin will get some shots in but my money is on Moss for the W.

Winner: Madcap Moss

The United States Championship Match

Austin Theory Vs Mustafa Ali is frankly a match I don't care for but I am hoping Ali can snag the win.  We all know that Theory is the sole member of Mr. McMahon's kiss my ass club and that is the only reason he has so much success.  Don't get me wrong, Theory is a talented individual but he made a deal with the devil that will eventually catch up to him...just not tonight.

Winner: Theory

Handicap Match (2 Vs 1) the Almighty Vs Omos and MVP

Why is this even a match.  I am so tired of them trying to push Omos.  I mean, the only way they could make him relevant was to have MVP turn on Lashley.  Knowing Vince, he will probably make the match go Omos's way.  He has a thing for Omosjust like he has a thing for Theory.   If this match is left to just athletic ability and brute strength, the Almighty wins this hands down.

Winner: the Almighty Bobby Lashley

Kevin Owens Vs Ezekiel

I love Kevin Owens and I love chanting,  "Fight Owens Fight!" but this truth seeking storyline has gotten very boring.  For what ever reason WWE creative thought it was okay to take Elias and brand him as Ezekiel should lost their job when they mentioned it.  Hopefully KO will beat a confession out of Ezekiel. The only way I see Elias, I mean Ezekiel win this match is if there is a DQ somehow.

Winner: Kevin Owens

the Club Vs Judgement Day

First of all, let me just say I do not like the name the Judgement Day.  They should have just stuck with the Judgement.  Anyway, I am routing for the "Club" to defeat the Judgement Day but I have a feeling that a member of the "Club" will turn and cost their team the victory.  If there isn't a turn, I feel we will see a new member none the less.

Winner: this match could go either way but I am afraid the winners will be Judgement day

Cody Rhodes Vs Seth Rollins III

This is the 3rd time these two wrestling giants and I am ready for the rivalry to end.  I know Rollins wants to prove that he is better than the American Nightmare and he just might do it tonight.   Cody is 2-0 wrestling Seth at a PPV but tonight, with his newly discovered injury might just lose to Seth.  Who knows?  All I know is that Seth is due a victory over Cody.

Winner: Seth Rollins

Triple Threat Raw Women's Championship Match

I believe this should have been Bianca Vs Asuka but Becky wasn't having that at all.  I personally hope that Asuka comes out victorious but I have a feeling that "Bad Attitude" Becks will ruin the victory for both of them and Bianca will remain champion.  If Asuka is able to watch out for Becky and is allowed to wrestle Bianca or even Becky one on one, then Asuka should leave this match champion.

Winner: My heart says Asuka, but my brain says Bianca.

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
