WWE Backlash 2016: 10 Things That Must Happen
10. Major Match Opens The Show
This is the first pay-per-view in years to be promoted solely by one WWE brand. Therefore, it's imperative that the show kicks off in fine fashion, hopefully with one of the bigger matches on the card. There's a good chance that something like The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler will start things off, but wouldn't it be cool to see something like Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt in the opening match slot?
Picture the scene. Mauro Ranallo, JBL and David Otunga welcome everybody to Backlash amidst all the usual pyrotechnics and flashing lights. Right before the crowd dies down, the lights go out and the somber tones of Bray Wyatt's entrance music begin to play.
Instantly, everybody in the arena would get goosebumps, because they know they're already getting to see one of the show's biggest bouts. If Orton vs. Wyatt is then a killer brawl, Backlash has the necessary launching pad to be an excellent broadcast.
If WWE choose to open things with The Usos vs. The Hype Bros, for example, it may not have the same effect. Backlash needs to come bursting right out of the gate.
