Singles Match for the AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale (c) vs Mercedes Moné
Mercedes isn't going to lose her first match after all this hubbub. Putting her against Willow is no mistake, nor do I think it is a coincidence she's gone straight to the TBS title instead of the women's world title.
That screams to me that Tony Khan doesn't want to take the top belt off Toni Storm, but wants to put one on Mercedes asap. The story with Willow is already there, and even though she'll be dropping it super fast, she's in NXT Bayley territory where fans will be willing to support her going forward despite her loss.
Plus, I think there's a solid chance Kris Statlander turns heel and costs Willow, resulting in a feud between the two afterward while Mercedes goes off against others.
PREDICTION: Mercedes Mone wins the title.
Singles Match for the AEW International Championship: Roderick Strong (c) vs Will Ospreay
Is it as simple as "the momentum has died out for The Undisputed Kingdom, Roderick Strong's act isn't as funny to most people anymore, and Will Ospreay is the hot ticket, so let's put the title on him"? Or is this when Ospreay will finally come up short from his winning streak?
I'm inclined to believe the former. Ospreay's been treated to be too big of a deal. Unless the game plan is for him to not win this so that he can beat Kazuchika Okada for the Continental Championship or Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship, my guess is Tony Khan is reshuffling some title-holders to his new top dog talent, and Strong is no longer the shiny new toy.
PREDICTION: Will Ospreay wins the title.
Singles Match for the AEW Women's World Championship: "Timeless" Toni Storm (c) vs Serena Deeb
Rinse and repeat my usual "Toni Storm isn't dropping the title until probably Jamie Hayter is back at All In, but especially not here against Opponent X." Deeb doesn't have anywhere near the momentum to make any sense as the next champion. She's just a challenger—and, from my perspective, not even a properly enough built challenger worthy of Double or Nothing, to be honest. She seems more suited to a special episode of Dynamite. But I guess there just aren't any other women higher on the totem pole and, at the end of the day, most AEW fans just want to see a match for the sake of a match, and they'll enjoy this, so most people win regardless.
PREDICTION: Toni Storm retains the title.
Singles Match for the AEW World Championship: Swerve Strickland (c) vs Christian Cage
Anyone complaining that Cody Rhodes is fighting AJ Styles and that that "isn't big enough" for Backlash has to look at this and say the same thing. Christian isn't a threat to the title. He's awesome (as is Styles), but both are just filling the role of "guy to fight the new champion because the bout looks good on paper and will deliver in the ring."
And like I said with Rhodes and Styles, that's perfectly fine. Not every match is the potential run-ender.
PREDICTION: Swerve Strickland retains the title.
