WWE Backlash 2020: 10 Things That Must Happen

1. Randy Orton Cheats To Upset Edge

Wait, what?

Expecting another result? Don't be too taken aback; Randy Orton winning makes the most sense this Sunday night, and he can always cheat until he can cheat no more to get the job done. If he does, then Edge would have an out if the match quality isn't exactly "Greatest Ever" standards.

He can point to Randy's deep-rooted need to be a total bastard as an excuse for why they didn't have the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever". Kicks to the balls, rakes of the eyes, constant stalling, cheating behind the referees back and generally being the worst human being alive are all things Orton excels at when asked to work that way.

WWE can't focus too hard on Edge either. Drew McIntyre will need fresh and dangerous heels to work with who better Bobby Lashley's attempt, and Randy sounds perfect for that. He can win here, take a hit at Extreme Rules in some sort of feud-ending gimmick match and still come out shiny enough for a WWE Title bid.
