WWE has yet to announce any official matches for this card.
PREDICTED MATCHES (as of 4/20/2026)
Before Raw starts, which could change everything about this, I'll toss out some ideas of where I think they might be going:
- Roman Reigns claims he's going to be full-time and has been called out by Oba Femi. Here's the thing. All of what Roman has said indicates "we'll see if we get around to that at some point over the coming months" rather than "you're the next person I'm going to feud with" particularly. I think, instead, Gunther is going to say that he got a title shot via Paul Heyman and we're going with a Gunther and Roman Reigns feud for Backlash, which may or may not happen at this event or be pushed to the next thing, since WWE refuses to have more than 4-6 matches per event anymore.
- Tiffany Stratton versus Giulia for the Women's United States Championship could happen here or on SmackDown
- Does Becky Lynch already start something new for the Women's Intercontinental Championship against someone like Sol Ruca getting called up, or do they linger?
- I could see Penta defending the men's IC title, but there are so many people hovering that belt that it's hard to pinpoint if he'll have a match against Je'Von Evans, Rey Mysterio, Dominik Mysterio, etc.
- Trick Williams in a rematch against Sami Zayn, with or without Carmelo Hayes being involved, seems like an easy potential option.
- I would be shocked if WWE doesn't take the lazy route in having a rematch between Liv Morgan and Stephanie Vaquer
- I don't, though, think we're getting a rematch between Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill
- I do, though, think we're getting another Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes match, but again, it's hard to tell if that's happening at Backlash or if they're going to split everything up
