Smackdown gets the first solo PPV of the New Era. It's not an amazing show on paper by no means but features a first time battle, two new championships for Smackdown and the best star in WWE getting around chance at history. Let's talk!
Six women will battle for the right to call themselves the first ever Smackdown Women's Champion. Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Carmella and Natayla will compete in the first ever women's six pack challenge for the newly formed Smackdown Women's Title. Such a strong way to crown a first time champion. It's also elimination style so that should mean a lengthy encounter. I mean no disrespect towards any of the women involved but there's one woman that truly deserves it; Becky Lynch. Carmella and Alexa have alot of time to grow and earn the title. Naomi deserves one run at the title one day and Nikki and Nattie have already had their reigns. Becky has been given the short end of the stick, playing second fiddle to her other Four Horsewomen. While Bayley, Sasha and Charlotte all won the NXT Women's Title, Becky didn't. Becky is just as talented as the other three and needs to hold a title. She needs to become the first ever Smackdown Women's Champion. I think it will come down to her and Natayla and Lynch will make her tap with the Dis-arm-her. Becky VS any of the women on Smackdown is awesome for the brand. My 2nd pick is Carmella. Wild card I know but only as a transitional champion for Nikki. Becky Lynch will finally win a title in WWE on Sunday.
Miz VS Ziggler is unimportant. The title deserves better. There's Baron Corbin, Kallisto, Apollo Crews, etc yet we get a repeat feud for the EXACT same title they've fought over before. Ridiculous. It will be a good match but Miz will retain. I guess. Who cares at this point.
The Smackdown Tag Team Titles will have its first champions on Sunday and it looks like that a throw together tag team will win it all. Heath Slater and Rhnyo were scheduled to face American Alpha for the titles but due to The Usos turning heel and injuring Chad Gable, it was announced that the last two teams eliminated, The Usos and The Hype Bros, would battle at Backlash to face the team of Slater and Rhyno later in the night. The Usos are definitely winning here to back up their heel turn but I'm putting money on Slater and Rhyno to win the whole thing, only to drop the titles on Smackdown to The Usos. Jason Jordan will cost The Usos the titles at Backlash, giving Slater his contract that he deserves and also giving him his first title in 5 years. I don't like when WWE does tag tournaments and has a random team win. Remember when Joe and Balor won the tournament in NXT? It's just pointless to have real teams lose credibility as a team. Anyway, it's Slater's tournament to win.
The Viper VS The New Face of Fear. The Apex Predator VS The Eater of Worlds. It will be their first every meeting and it's sure to be a good one. Now, we all know how this goes. Wyatt calls out a new hero of the WWE Universe, he says some really awesome promos and then.......he loses the feud. Come on, it's classic Wyatt, ever since Cena ended his momentum at Wrestlemania XXX. While it will definitely be a great match and it will get alot of time, mainly because there isn't really anything else on the show, it will end the same way most Wyatt matches end, with Wyatt as the loser. Randy Orton wins.
The Face that Runs the Place will get another shot at making history. No, not John Cena, AJ Styles! AJ Styles finds himself in a similar situation. Remember during Mania season, when Styles was making his debut on the Show of Shows? He was feuding with Jericho and actually lost in his debut. He then proceeded to become #1 contender for the WWE Title and ran into Roman Reigns, who beat him two consecutive times. Styles wasn't ready just yet, not ready in WWE's eyes, not in his in ring work. The momentum wasn't there for him, especially against then impossible golden boy Reigns. Now, Styles is coming off of a feud with John Cena, excuse me, a WINNING feud with John Cena. He then beat the former #1 contender in Dolph Ziggler and will challenge Dean Ambrose for the title at Backlash. Momentum is everything in WWE and Styles has plenty. There is no other option than to give Styles the WWE World Championship. He's been the top star of the company since his debut. He's coming off a winning feud with Dean Ambrose. Ambrose's reign has been lackluster, it all equals a huge AJ Styles wins. The only variable in this match is Baron Corbin. Corbin had a match with Ambrose which ended when Styles got involved. Corbin was missing on the good home show for Backlash. Is that sign of things to come? Please don't let the main event end by DQ, especially on the first PPV of the New Era.
AJ Styles makes history on Sunday as he will defeat Dean Ambrose in a great main event for the WWE World Title. Styles will become the first man to have held the PWG, NWA, TNA, IWGP and WWE Heavyweight Titles. What a freaking resume.
What do you think? Does a winning feud over Cena instantly mean a WWE Championship? Or should Ambrose retain? We'll find out...
