WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2021: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

Last summer was agonising at times.
Braun Strowman's Universal Title reign was, for lack of a better word, sh*te. WWE mired him in lame comedy bits with The Miz and John Morrison, then made a mess of his history with Bray Wyatt. Braun's reign made SmackDown a lesser show, and there's little doubting that a WWE Title win at Backlash would do the same to Raw.
