Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been on a run of bad luck these last few weeks since being fired from SmackDown Live. They were signed to the Raw roster by Stephanie McMahon behind Kurt Angle's back, and now find themselves facing the monstrous team of Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley. While it may seem an easy choice to pick the bigger men, Owens and Zayn always have a trick or two up their sleeve.

Owens and Zayn tend to disrespect their bosses, which results in repercussions. They antagonised Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan over on SmackDown Live, which caused them to be sent packing out of WWE. Now that they've came over to the Raw side, Kevin and Sami have turned their attention to Kurt Angle.

They have quite the challenge ahead of them at Backlash. Braun Strowman was victorious in the 50-man Royal Rumble Match, while Bobby Lashley recently returned to the company, with this being his first proper pay-per-view appearance. Given these circumstances, WWE may look to keep the momentum with them instead.

However, it is likely that Strowman and Lashley could come to blows over who is more powerful between the pair. If that were to happen, one rollup later and it could leave Owens and Zayn with a victory.
