10 Last-Minute WWE Backlash 2016 Rumors You Need To Know

As I mentioned, unless something very strange happens, The Usos will beat The Hype Bros at Backlash. That means that The Usos versus Rhyno and Heath Slater will be the match that decides the first-ever Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

WWE can go either way with the winners - Slater and Rhyno can become the champs, giving Slater a Smackdown contract, or (and this is probably the smarter choice) The Usos can win, get heat for denying Slater his contract, and then continue their feud with American Alpha - with the titles on the line.

Either way, though, the Usos-Alpha feud will continue, and it's possible that WWE can use the title match at the Pay-Per-View to move it further along. Though Chad Gable was injured by The Usos in storyline, Jason Jordan is fine - and there's nothing stopping him from get involved in the match. He could conceivably get a measure of revenge by costing his new enemies the chance to reign as inaugural champions.

The Usos are still the favorites in the match, but it is possible that Jordan could help Slater and Rhyno get the win.
