WWE Backlash 2022 Predictions: Ronda Rousey Will Not Quit This Time
By Mark Justice
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Becky Lynch [Raw Women’s Title]
Bianca Belair will retain the Raw Women’s Title against Becky Lynch in what would be their trilogy. It seems that Rhea Ripley is on the verge of turning heel against Liv Morgan, which could set her up on a warpath in her singles career. After this PPV, Ripley would be an ideal opponent for Belair due to their history in NXT. Speaking of NXT, once Banks and Naomi retain the tag titles against Ripley and Morgan on Raw and against Shayna Baszler and Natalya on SmackDown, they should merge the titles with Toxic Attraction in NXT because there are barely any tag teams left.
Prediction: Bianca Belair
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins [Grudge Match]
Cody will defeat Seth Rollins again to solidify his WrestleMania return victory. Also, defeating a former MITB Winner before WWE MITB 2022 in July is a neat foreshadowing of what’s to come for Rhodes. Since Kevin Owens is Rollins’ tag team partner and Rhodes has been battling Owens in dark matches, it is likely that Rhodes will move on to feuding with another top heel in Owens. Owens will defeat the returning Ezekiel to regain his momentum from his loss to Stone Cold Steve Austin in anticipation of a competitive feud with Rhodes.
Prediction: Cody Rhodes
