Some interesting outcomes can happen at WWE Backlash this year.
WWE Backlash 2026 is scheduled to take place on May 9 at the Benchmark International Center in Tampa, Florida. The promotion has announced five major matches for the card and will also feature an appearance of John Cena, who is set to make a ‘history-making’ news.
Moreover, the Premium Live Event will feature other marquee stars competing this Saturday. So here are KhelNow’s predictions for WWE Backlash 2026:
5. Sami Zayn vs Trick Williams
After dropping his WWE United States Championship to Trick Williams at WrestleMania 42, Sami Zayn will challenge him for the title in a rematch. The Underdog from the Underground is unlikely to lose the match due to Williams’ cohort, Lil Yatchy, being in his corner, who could run in interference.
Winner: Trick Williams
4. Danhausen & TBA vs The Miz & Kit Wilson
The Miz and Kit Wilson are scheduled to battle Danhausen and a partner of his choosing. Mr. Very Nice Very Evil could unveil his partner as a major shocker, somebody like CM Punk or highly rumored Shane McMahon.
The duo could very well catch their opponents off guard and secure the win for team Danhausen following an exciting match.
Winner: Danhausen & TBA
3. Asuka vs Iyo Sky
One of the most anticipated matches for this year’s WWE Backlash is Asuka squaring off against Iyo Sky. It will be a clash of two of the most skilled in-ring performers in WWE today. However, the bout is likely to see Asuka use some underhanded tactics to secure a significant victory at Backlash, likely prolonging the feud.
Winner: Asuka
2. Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker returned at WrestleMania 42 to reignite his heated feud with Seth Rollins. The duo is set to clash in a singles showdown at WWE Backlash 2026.
This is Breakker’s first major bout since returning from injury last month, and WWE is likely to restart his push, so he could defeat a top star like The Visionary at Backlash.
Winner: Bron Breakker
1. Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu will challenge ‘The OTC’ Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Backlash 2026.
Despite the Samoan Werewolf having the upper hand on Reigns in the entire build-up, The OTC is unlikely to drop the title so soon and is expected to beat Fatu to remain the top titleholder on Monday Night Raw.
Winner: Roman Reigns
