10 HUGE WWE WrestleMania Backlash Predictions You Need To Know

9. Bobby Lashley (c) Vs. Drew McIntyre Vs. Braun Strowman

Since their WrestleMania thigh-slapper (because they're not banned in the audience...yet), WWE has somehow contrived to make the prospect of a battle between Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre boring.

This is a crime against creativity, and further evidence of Dave Meltzer's theory that Vince McMahon - ever the exception to the rule - has somehow forgotten how to ride a bike. They are both absolutely massive and, based on their two highest profile matches, can be extremely effective being massive against each other.

WWE know this, but cynically need a Money In The Bank main event out of them. The solution wasn't to tell two stories that dovetail back into an end-of-the-world rematch next month, but to muddy the waters with a Braun Strowman character less likeable than both and too buried to be believable in the role.

Like, aye, he's there to take the pin on Sunday, but so f*ck? Ask more questions of the company than that. Allow yourself standards beyond this makeshift bullsh*t churn. It's one of the reasons it feels so much like churn in the first place.

Winner - Bobby Lashley
