Event: WWE Backlash: Tampa Date: May 9, 2026 Venue: Benchmark International Arena — Tampa, Florida
WrestleMania settles scores. Backlash creates new ones.
And in 2026, the fallout looks explosive.
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
The Bloodline isn’t fractured—it’s imploding.
After reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns finds himself facing his most dangerous challenger yet: family. Jacob Fatu isn’t here to fall in line—he’s here to dismantle everything Roman built.
This isn’t about legacy.
It’s about power.
Roman Reigns is not dropping the title this early into his latest reign. Expect a brutal, physical war with interference looming large. Whether it’s Solo Sikoa or outside chaos, something will tip the scale—but not in Fatu’s favor.
Roman Reigns retains
This is personal.
Bron Breakker didn’t just turn on Seth Rollins—he destroyed everything Rollins was building. Aligning with Paul Heyman, Breakker has positioned himself as the next dominant force in WWE.
Rollins wants revenge.
Breakker wants control.
Momentum matters—and Breakker has it. With Heyman pulling the strings, this feels like a passing-of-the-torch moment. Rollins will fight, but Breakker is being built for something bigger.
Bron Breakker wins
Trick Williams (c) vs. Sami Zayn
Only Sami Zayn could turn a title feud into complete chaos.
After bizarre antics—including disguises and ambushes—Zayn has forced his way into this match. But Trick Williams isn’t playing games. He’s trying to prove his WrestleMania win wasn’t a fluke.
This is about legitimacy.
Zayn will push the pace and try to steal it—but Trick’s athleticism and explosiveness give him the edge. The “Trick Era” isn’t ending here.
Trick Williams retains
Two of the most dangerous women in the world—no alliances, no safety nets.
After Asuka cost IYO SKY a shot at the Women’s World Championship, this has become a straight-up grudge match. Former allies, now rivals, and both are capable of ending a match in seconds.
Expect outside factors. Rumblings of Kairi Sane returning could shift everything. If that happens, it likely favors IYO.
IYO SKY wins
Danhausen & ??? vs. The Miz & Kit Wilson
This one is chaos by design.
The Miz and Kit Wilson have been embarrassed for months, and Danhausen has been at the center of it all. Now they want payback—but Danhausen’s mystery partner could change everything.
All signs point to something big.
If the rumors are true and CM Punk appears, this becomes the moment of the night. The crowd will explode, and the match won’t last long.
Danhausen & Partner win
Backlash 2026 isn’t about closure—it’s about escalation.
By the end of the night, the WWE landscape won’t just shift—
It’ll be shaken.
