10 Surprises WWE Could Pull At Backlash 2018
1. Shinsuke Nakamura Wins The WWE Championship
After Shinsuke Nakamura won the Royal Rumble and challenged AJ Styles for WrestleMania, it was bound to be match of the night. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. It was what happened after the match that left the fans talking, as Shinsuke low blowed AJ.
Nakamura has followed up with multiple low blows each week, and AJ hasn't worn a cup for any of them. You'd think he would have bought one by now with amount of blows to the groin he's taken. Backlash is likely the time we see Styles with the cup for the first time.
With the added no disqualification stipulation, Shinsuke wouldn't be disqualified for using the low blow anyway so he'll definitely go for it at some point during the match. He uppercuts AJ below the belt, with the WWE Champion revealing what he's wearing. Shinsuke should then use the low blow again after AJ's removed the protection.
Backlash could be the crowning moment for The King of Strong Style. If it's not, it's most likely the last championship opportunity he'll have for a while.
