10 HUGE WWE Backlash 2020 Predictions You Need To Know

5. Return Of The Fiend

Greatest Wrestling Match Ever
WWE.com

Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt engaged in some school-level acting and drama in their Money In The Bank Universal Title match.

It was a lousy contest filled with lousy asides about their lousy and uninteresting past, paid off by 'The Monster Among Men' paying no mind to the black sheep mask he was given by the all-smiling Mr Rogers version of his former stable leader.

It's time for him to come face to face with a mask of a different kind.

The Fiend is no longer an indestructible and impenetrable physical force. What Seth Rollins couldn't do to him over two shows, Goldberg managed in just over two seconds. Strowman could do the same, much as he did to Big Bad Bill himself to win the blue strap slung across his shoulder.

At WrestleMania, The Fiend rebounded by forcing John Cena to face himself, truly a force more fearsome anything Wyatt himself could have summoned. Braun confidently brushed off Bray's mind games, but can his muscle overturn the warped mind of his darkest side? Backlash should hopefully provide indication of if and when we'll find out.
