WWE Backlash 2024: 10 Things That Must Happen

10. WWE Adds An IC Triple Threat

Few would be mad if Chad Gable eventually pinned Sami Zayn to win the Intercontinental Title. After all, Sami's big moment was really beating GUNTHER at WrestleMania, and there's just something about that belt which screams: 'PUT ME ON A GOOD HEEL'. Gable is one hell of a worker too, so he'd be a credit to the traditional favourite.

That's the future, but how about Backlash? There, WWE could do a lot worse than following up on events from Raw by sticking Bronson Reed in between Sami and Chad. Yes, that'd probably give the game away and spoil any whiff of a possible title change (Gable is more likely to win one-on-one), but it'd be a fun watch nonetheless.

Reed getting salty that Alpha Academy's finest poked his nose into his business on Monday suggests a three-way is incoming. The other option would be Becky Lynch defending her Women's World Title vs. Liv Morgan in a singles or in another Triple Threat with Nia Jax involved.

The IC scenario would be this writer's pick.
