WWE Backlash 2018: 5 surprises that could happen at the pay-per-view
One could call Backlash the beginning of a brand new season for WWE programming. True, the Greatest Royal Rumble did follow WrestleMania, but somehow the show did not feel special, with no reward for the Greatest Royal Rumble winner and no title changes.
The company may want to make Backlash a truly grand affair after the mixed reviews for the Greatest Royal Rumble pay-per-view. To achieve the same, they may want to pack the show with several surprises. In this article, we'll get you all excited about Backlash with a glimpse of all the madness that could possibly unfold.
Please leave a comment and let us know which of these you think will actually transpire. The stakes are high as this is the first double-branded WWE pay-per-view.
Here are 5 shocking events that may well transpire...
#5 Sasha Banks costs Bayley her big match
Every week on RAW, we see the passive-aggressiveness between Sasha Banks and Bayley, without any real payoff. We know that Bayley will be wrestling Ruby Riott in the Backlash Kickoff show, kicking off all the action into high gear. Sasha Banks is not even on the card at the moment. Could this be the big Sasha Banks heel turn we've all waited for?
We can totally imagine Banks coming to the ring, only to cost Bayley her match. This could lead to a full-fledged program between Sasha Banks and Bayley that carries all the way to SummerSlam in Brooklyn. After all, Brooklyn is the site of their classic encounter from NXT, not long ago.
A Sasha Banks heel turn may indeed be in everyone's best interests. Be it the fans or the performers themselves, everyone can benefit from this massive turn!
