| WWE Backlash 2026 Spoilers |
Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins
This was a no-brainer. They couldn't have gone in any other direction to stall this any further for their first clash. I say first because I don't think this is anywhere near close to over. Whoever wins this almost doesn't matter if they do what I think they're going to do, which is to fight at least two more times, ultimately with a gimmick match like a Last Man Standing or whatever at an event like Clash in Italy. Breakker is my pick to win the King of the Ring tournament (and if not, then I think it's Oba Femi), so if he is going to be free for that tournament finale, he'd have to end his feud with Rollins before that. However, if Femi is the pick to win the KOTR crown, Breakker vs. Rollins could finish up at that event.
In any fashion, I think whoever wins this will lose their next match, so it could go one way or the other here. This is a real 50/50 split. I'll give a slight advantage to Rollins, as I could see him being able to get some roll-up victory or something, only for Breakker to get the last laugh with a beat-down. Or maybe Breakker gets himself disqualified or something.
PREDICTION: 51% Seth Rollins, 49% Bron Breakker.
Iyo Sky vs. Asuka
You know what this story could use? Maybe the person who was in the middle of it all, Kairi Sane? It's ridiculous that WWE released her and then still wants to put this match on, instead of just doing that on Monday Night Raw. What a slap in the face.
PREDICTION: Iyo Sky wins and this feud is over with.
Singles Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
Obviously, Reigns isn't going to drop the title this quickly. That's a shame for Fatu, but I still think he'll get a good showing. This will be more about how Reigns is the more experienced veteran who is smarter in his approach rather than Fatu, who has the physical advantage, but was out-wrestled. At least, I'm hoping it doesn't end with The Usos interfering and helping Reigns win and a complete copy and paste of what The Bloodline did all the time, as we don't need to go right back to that same dynamic.
PREDICTION: Roman Reigns retains.
Tag Team Match: Danhausen and TBD vs. The Miz & Kit Wilson
Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone to be Danhausen's tag team partner, but hey, sure, let's go with it. I fully admit I'm on the Danhausen train right now, and my vocal disapproval of the gimmick ended up being totally wrong. This is goodhausen.
PREDICTION: Danhausen and question mark win.
Singles Match for the WWE Men's United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Sami Zayn
RIP Gingerbread Man. He was an MVP for the roster.
PREDICTION: Trick Williams retains.
