WWE Backlash 2025: 7 Nightmares That Could Come True

7. WWE Turns The IC Match Into A Multi-Man

Triple H has grown obsessed with multi-wrestler matches during WrestleMania season this year. On one hand, it's a lovely gesture from 'The Game' to try and squeeze as many members of the current WWE roster on the card so everyone gets a tasty pay day, but there's a downside to that sort of thinking. In short, some of 'Mania's bouts suffered from dilution or didn't really feel like they belonged on the biggest show(s) of the entire year in the first place.

Refreshingly, a four-way scrap for the men's Intercontinental Title managed to come out smelling of roses due to Dominik Mysterio's fun win and some real effort put in by the likes of Bron Breakker, Penta and Finn Bálor. So, it might be tempting for Trips to press repeat whilst switching Breakker out for AJ Styles.

He shouldn't.

Backlash's match is much more interesting as just Dominik vs. Penta. Sure, AJ and Finn have been sniffing around the belt on TV lately, but Saturday should be all about two things: One, continuing to build Penta as a real star attraction who always delivers excellence. Two, keeping Mysterio's momentum high and toying around with one of the most unlikely sympathy votes from WWE fans in years.

Going the multi-man route again would feel forced, and there's simply no need for it. Have Dominik show he can hang with Penta, then let Bálor rush in to facilitate the finish. Hell, Styles can be involved in that too if need be. Stacking wrestlers on top of one another before the conclusion would be an unnecessary as another title change.
