My predictions for Backlash 2017

Aiden English vs. "The Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger

Well, at least we get to see these guys go at it on the kick-off.

My prediction: Picking Dillinger for this one.

Jinder Mahal vs. Randy Orton

for the WWE Championship

Well, isn't this something. Jinder Mahal managed to win a battle royal to become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship...and he's taking advantage of his time by stealing the title belt and posing with it and enlisting the help of The Singh Brothers (formerly The Bollywood Boyz). Now these two will finally meet, and this match will not be a cakewalk for either man...

My prediction: Randy Orton will probably retain.

Breezango (Tyler Breeze and Fandango)
vs. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) (c)

for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships

Breezango have won a Tag Team Turmoil match to become #1 contenders after not doing a whole lot in the tag team division. Now these unlikely contenders for the blue brand tag titles have their toughest opponents as a team in The Usos. Can they somehow perform the unthinkable, or will The Usos keep the titles on lock?

My prediction: The Usos will probably retain.

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens (c)

for the WWE United States Championship

Kevin Owens has dreams of making SmackDown "The Kevin Owens Show," but AJ Styles has plans of keeping it as the house that he built. Now that Styles is #1 contender for the United States Championship that Kevin Owens has brought over to Tuesday nights, can Styles keep building on that foundation and add another title to his extensive career, or will The Kevin Owens Show be renewed and become the face of both America and WWE?

My prediction: AJ Styles will be taking the title.

"The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura
vs.
Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler, jaded and jealous as ever of the newer talent coming in, has beef with Nakamura getting instant fan approval without even wrestling a match on the main roster. Now these two will finally go at it at Backlash in what will be Nakamura's main roster debut match after making the poster for the event so red it almost looks like a Raw pay-per-view.

My prediction: Nakamura is winning this one, no question.

Charlotte Flair, Naomi and Becky Lynch
vs.
The Welcoming Committee (Natalya, Carmella, Tamina)

When Charlotte Flair got switched to SmackDown as part of the Superstar Shake-Up and acted like she owned the blue brand, a few of the Women's Division stars did not take too kindly to that. When this new "welcoming committee" tried to get more people to join their cause, that didn't sit well with Naomi, and it sure did not sit well with Becky Lynch. Now Charlotte and two other SmackDown Superstars in the Women's Division have to calm this mob down before they can get even angrier...

My prediction: Charlotte, Naomi and Becky Lynch will probably take this one.

Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin

Ever since Sami Zayn has come aboard the blue brand, Baron Corbin has just been furious with him just for being successful...and Sami Zayn knows it. Now Sami wants a match with him just to put this to rest...but is Sami biting off more than he can chew?

My prediction: Corbin just might take this one.

Erick Rowan vs. Luke Harper

On the final Talking Smack before Backlash, Erick Rowan made a surprise, announced appearance where he showed off multiple sheep masks and showed his disappointment with Luke Harper leaving The Wyatt Family, saying that when someone leaves the Family, they leave him. Now that match is made official thanks to SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon. This is going to be an all-out war...

My prediction: Luke Harper might take this one.
