What are our full predictions for WWE Backlash 2026?

1. Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu: While Jacob Fatu had the upper hand on Roman Reigns in the buildup to WWE Backlash, The OTC's title reign is not expected to end this early. So, he is expected to retain his World Championship against the Samoan Werewolf.

2. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker: This will be Bron Breakker's first match after returning from injury at WrestleMania 42. WWE is likely to push him again, much like last year, so it is possible that he will emerge victorious over Seth Rollins in their match.

3. Asuka vs. IYO Sky: There is a strong possibility that Kairi Sane would return to WWE after being released due to overwhelming support from fans. Should that happen, she could assist Asuka and help her defeat IYO Sky in their singles bout.

4. Danhausen & TBA vs. Kit Wilson & The Miz: Danhausen's roaring popularity and major hype around the revelation of his mystery partner are huge signs that his team will emerge victorious over Kit Wilson and The Miz at WWE Backlash.

5. Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams: With the audience firmly in his corner and Lil Hatchy by his side, it is expected that Trick Williams will retain his United States title against Sami Zayn at WWE Backlash PLE.
