WWE Backlash 2020 card predictions: Charlotte Flair helps Asuka retain

Apollo Crews (c) vs. Andrade – United States Championship

After winning the title from Andrade just a couple of weeks back, Apollo Crews is the new United States Champion, but after winning a number one contender’s match (one including his “pal” Angel Garza), Andrade earned himself a rematch for Sunday.

A safe bet would be saying Crews retains because it’s too soon for him to lose his first title in WWE, but how this ends is the more interesting prediction. I can’t help but feel like either Garza or Zelina Vega play a part in the finish somehow. Either Vega inadvertently costs Andrade his victory, or Garza does so deliberately over sour grapes about losing on Raw.

Either way, expect seeds of dissession to be planted.

Prediction: Apollo

Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus

To recap, this feud has been … a mess. Trife. A damn dirty shame. You name it. Between Sheamus staging a DUI for Jeff Hardy, to Hardy being called a “junkie,” it’s like WWE compiled their worst ideas into a blender and bottled it into what’s already the worst storyline of 2020. Which says a lot.

Is it wishful thinking for me to just say I want the babyface to win so these two can just go their separate ways already?

Prediction: Hardy
