WWE Backlash 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

6. WWE Crams In Another Title Bout

Currently, the Backlash lineup appears to be capped at seven matches. Not all of them are super-strong, but they should still be fun in execution. Word to the wise: Seven bouts is more than enough. WWE doesn't need to start sticking in another couple of title scraps for the sake of padding.

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defending the Women's Tag-Team Titles in some sort of exhibition showing is possible though, and so is GUNTHER chopping the crap out of some poor sap and retaining his Intercontinental belt. The latter scenario would be preferable, sure, but it'd also come out of nowhere.

Backlash doesn't need anything else.

Seth Rollins vs. Omos, both Women's Title showdowns and even the aforementioned six-man tag all feel very house show as it is. Cram on a few more matches and WWE might be better off renaming this "WWE Puerto Rico: The Live Event".

Nah, brevity is best on this occasion.
