WWE Backlash

[Randy Parker]

Coming up this Sunday night. Here's the card so far:

A.J. Styles © vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - WWE Championship

 

Seth Rollins © vs. The Miz - WWE Intercontinental Championship

 

Carmella © vs. Charlotte Flair - WWE Smackdown Women's Championship

 

Nia Jax © vs. Alexa Bliss - WWE Raw Women's Championship

 

Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass

 

Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe

So Wrestlemania 2.0?

[I gotta go to work]

Look for Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamin for the US Title to be added Tuesday.

With Brock Lesnar not on the card he will likely surpass CM Punk's 434 day modern day streak as Champion. My guess is we have Lesnar vs Braun or Lesnar/Braun/Reigns at Money in the Bank in June with Lesnar dropping the title. That would be a few days after he breaks the record.

That was Friday afternoon...

 

Over-saturation period is where the WWE is at.

Surely to goodness it'll be Brock & Braun. Or maybe Brock & Bobby Lashley. I'd go for either, but an ideal Summer Slam Main Event would be Brock vs. Braun IMO.

Agreed, but I think once we get past Backlash, things will start to improve in that regard. With only 1 PPV per month vs. the 2 we've been having, I think that will help. And I hope they keep the non-major PPV cards small, because doing so will only improve Raw & Smackdown.

Agree RP, the WWE has so much more to keep up with than it did just 2 or 3 years ago.

Their roster is as stacked as it's ever been in history, so I'm sure it makes things hard for them. But these 5-hour PPV's cannot be the norm. Maybe for Mania, but that's it.

I'm not really an Orton fan, so I'd prefer Shelton, but I think you're right that a U.S. title match will be added. And they don't need to add anything more, unless they want to put something on the pre-show.

We are on the same page.

On the surface it seems like a boring card, which means it will be really good, or a dud.

I think all but two of these matches have been poorly developed by the WWE.

 

I know I am repeating myself but the over-saturation has me thinking about jumping off the bandwagon.

I'm not jumping off the bandwagon, but the over-saturation is definitely a problem. But I'm also curious to see what the product looks like after Backlash when it starts to die down some and the shakeup takes full effect.
