Backlash Backlash Result Predictions

[Noa Shalev]

BACKLASH​

The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler (for the Intercontinental Championship)
The Miz insists his Intercontinental Championship reign is “never-ending,” but Dolph Ziggler will look to prove otherwise when they clash over the prestigious title at WWE Backlash on Sunday, Sept. 11.

The Usos vs. The Hype Bros. (To find out who will face Rhyno & Heath Slater for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship) & TBD vs. Rhyno and Heath Slater
How will the tournament final shake out? Will Slater wind up with a job on SmackDown LIVE? Just as important, which duo will be the first to hold the SmackDown Tag Team Titles?

Alexa Bliss vs. Carmella vs. Natalya vs. Nikki Bella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Naomi (Six pack elimination match for the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship)
The first SmackDown Women’s Champion will be crowned at WWE Backlash Sunday, Sept. 11, when Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Natalya, Naomi, Alexa Bliss and Carmella compete in a Six-Pack Challenge. The first Superstar to claim a fall will be declared the victor and new titleholder.
Which Superstar will earn the distinction of becoming the first SmackDown Women’s Champion?

Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt
Will Bray Wyatt make a sacrifice of The Viper at WWE Backlash? Or, can Randy Orton repel The Eater of Worlds’ devilish overtures with an explosive RKO?

Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles (Singles match for the WWE World Championship)
Styles might have the wind at his back heading into SmackDown LIVE's first brand-exclusive pay-per-view, but he also has an unpredictable and unrelenting Lunatic Fringe staring him in the face on Sept. 11. Ambrose’s devil-may-care attitude has benefited his title reign thus far; will his kinetic style of fisticuffs continue to pay dividends against the dynamic force that is AJ Styles?

The Miz vs Dog Ziggler - Intercontinental Championship:
Big Money Miz should go over as he is the overall better talent and better person to hold the title but Ziggler will probably for some reason get the fucking win here.

The Usos vs The Hype Bros:
"We going over uce"

TBD vs RhinoSlatersarus - WWE SD Tag Team Championships:
"We going over BAYBAY!"

Alexa Bliss vs Carmella vs Natalya vs Nikki Bella vs Becky Lynch vs Naomi - SD Divamen Championship:
I want Alexa or Becky to win but we all know it's going to be fucking Nikki or Carmella.

"Stroppy Cunt" Randy Orton vs "Eater of injuries" Bray Wyatt:
Stroppy Cunt needs a win back and we all know that Bray just loves putting people over.

Dean Ambrose vs "The Phenomenal One" "The Best Wrestler in the World" "Mr Beat Cena clean in a feud" BaeJ Styles:

Spoiler

 

[Prince Bálor]

- The Usos vs The Hype Bros
Prediction: The Hype Bros don't stand a chance. As said above: "WE GOIN' OVER, UCE!"

- The Usos vs Beauty & The Man-Beast (SmackDown Tag Team Championship)
Prediction: The Usos win and become the inaugural SD tag champs. Plus, what better way to make the newly-turned-heel Usos more hated than to ruin Slater's run?

- The Miz vs Dolph Ziggler (Intercontinental Championship)
Prediction: The Miz wins. Because I want him to retain and because everybody's beat Ziggler at this point. Not that I'd hate a DZ win here, but I'd prefer if the IC title stayed on Miz's shoulder for a little while.

- Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt
Prediction: Both could use a win. But, I'm going with Orton because Wyatt is fucked beyond repair.

- Becky Lynch vs Alexa Bliss vs Carmella vs Naomi vs Natalya vs Nikki Bella (SmackDown Women's Championship)
Prediction: I really want Becky Lynch to win, but I think the title's going to Nikki here.

- Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles (WWE World Championship)
Prediction: AJ Styles wins. I'd be fine with either outcome, but I'd prefer if Styles won.

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

MIZ- Needs to drop to anyone that isn't Dolph.
Hype Bros- Uso's will probably get fucked over by AA.
Slater/Rhyno- Just makes sense; you can have them drop on Tuesday.
Orton( But Bray really needs the win)
Nikki Bella- Politics FTFW.
AJ Styles- Because it just makes aaaaaaallllll the sense in the world.

I wrote about this in my blog (and if you've never heard me mention my blog, where the hell have you been?)

As we approach the first brand-specific PPV, and as I’m sat in a bustling London Kings Cross station café, I figures I should get around to predicting the outcomes of the (admittedly light) card for Sunday night.

Remember, my views are entirely biased and unreliable. Don’t, whatever you do, rely on them in a drinking game. I will kill you through proxy.

The Usos Vs The Hype Bros

Us! – No! Us! – No!

As much as it makes me want to cry a single, smarky, tear, I have to say I think the Usos will get this one. It would set up a nice rivalry between the two tag teams, and if it’s won through shenanigens(!) then we can see the brothers flexing their heel muscles.

Not their actual heel muscles. You know what I mean.

It would also give them more heel heat leading into the second match further down the card.

The Miz Vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Do I think WWE will end this feud at backlash? Yes. Should WWE end this feud at Backlash? No.

The Miz has been posting a lot about his neverending intercontinental championship world tour on twitter and I long to see this continue for as long as he can cut promos as strong as he is. Ziggler is clearly receiving another push recently, but you shouldn’t be sacrificing the best heel in your company at the moment to push yet another face at us.

I think The Miz will retain.

Heath Slater and Rhyno Vs The Usos or The Hype Bros

I predicted that The Usos would claim the victory in the first match on the card, so my prediction continues from there.

I think Slater’s storyline is running to a nice close. We’ve seen him go through everything McMahon and Bryan have to throw at him and it’s time he received his dues and could legitimately push for titles while he has all the momentum in the world behind him. He made the promo featuring his family work, which shows a damn sight more talent than we’ve seen from others lately.

It’s time to let Slater have that contract.

Becky Lynch vs. Nikki Bella vs. Natalya vs. Naomi vs. Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss

That took some typing.

I’d be happy to see Lynch, Bella, Bliss or Natalya win it, but out of those my head remains with Nikki Bella.

I want, more than anything else, for Becky Lynch to win the belt, I just don’t see WWE feeling that she could legitimise it as a championship as quickly as Nikki could. It’s a shame I feel that was because Becky is a monumental worker, but her time is coming soon. Surely.

Randy Orton Vs Bray Wyatt

I don’t really care. But make it Bray. Let him beat Orton and go for Lesnar. I want to see a terrified Paul Hayman cut a promo with Wyatt. Make it happen WWE.

Dean Ambrose Vs AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship

I’ve posted before (Here in fact) about my distaste for Ambrose as a champion. Second favourite wrestler, but not a good champion. I want to see AJ at the head of the brand. He would be absolutely amazing and could carry a match with anyone creative decide to push up against him. It would legitimise his claims to being the face that runs the place and the crowd reaction would be electric.

Plus, Ambrose could do something more interesting with his time, win win.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

Miz will retain his championship

The Usos will beat Hype Bros but will lose to Rhyno and Slater in the title match, time for Slater to be kayfabe employed

Wyatt will beat Randy Orton, hopefully...

Carmella will become the Smackdown WWE Women's champion

AJ Styles will walk away the WWE World Champion

I also expect with one of the pre show matches (because now with divided rosters and more surprises to the card thrown together) we will see the return of Luke Harper reuniting with Erick Rowan to reform their tag team

 

[Prince Bálor]

LOLCarmella.

It's going to either Becky or Nikki. Or hell, maybe even a dark horse like Nattie.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

nope, just wait

 

[SmackChat-Luke]

nope, just wait

It would be awful, awful booking. No way Carmella should be given a title run yet, didn't even prove herself fully in NXT in my opinion.

Heart says Becky, head says it will be Nikki, hence my prediction.

 

[Prince Bálor]

nope, just wait

She's not credible enough. What's she done on the main roster except turn heel like two weeks ago?

Yeah, that's right. NOTHING.

My heart's with Becky to win this one, but I feel like they're going to give it to Nikki.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
