WWE Backlash 2018 Pro Wrestling Betting Odds
–The first of the new ‘co-branded’ PPV events will be WWE Backlash 2018.
–The ‘Backlash’ PPV was first held in 1999.
–’WWE Backlash 2018′ takes place on May 6, 2018, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Back to what approximates ‘business as usual’ in the WWE following the somewhat bizarre ‘Greatest Royal Rumble’ event in Saudi Arabia. ‘WWE Backlash 2018’ is the first of the new ‘co branded’ PPV events which will feature both the RAW and Smackdown brands. The recent roster changes that occurred at the ‘2018 Superstar Shakeup’ are still being assimilated and the card for this event reflects this reality. The Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe match, for example, was scheduled before the roster changes. Following this match, Samoa Joe goes off to Smackdown with Reigns destined for RAW so don’t expect a lengthy feud between the two to develop.
As has become expected of a WWE PPV event, there’s an expectation that at least one more match will be added to this card. The most likely candidate is a US title defense for Jeff Hardy but it’s worth noting that neither brand’s tag team titles are being defended so that’s another possible option for the WWE booking committee. It’s a while until the next of the WWE’s so called ‘Big 4’ PPVs with ‘Summer Slam’ set for August, 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. That means there’s plenty of time to set the storylines in motion that will culminate at ‘Summer Slam’. In other words, there’s no guarantee that anything major will happen at ‘Backlash 2018’ in terms of title changes, feuds, etc.
