WWE Backlash preview

Read on for my suggestions for tonight's Smackdown-brand Network special.

-- Kickoff:
- Tye vs. Aiden:
Dillinger's in a pretty tough spot as far as getting a big push on such a loaded roster. But he should definitely get the win here.

-- Backlash:
- Corbin vs. Sami:
Stop me if you've heard this one: Sami puts up a good showing, but loses. That's kind of what he does. He's over because of his never-say-die attitude rather than winning a lot of matches.

- Harper vs. Rowan:
Luke wins and we get a break from this feud for a while.

- Usos vs. Breezango: 
Usos win with a handful of tights for the sole purpose of having Breezango claim the titles as stolen property to continue the Fashion Police angle. That should be pretty fun. Usos eventually lose the titles to #DIY after beating New Day.

- Shinsuke vs. Ziggler:
Shinsuke. No question. If I'm booking, Ziggler's destined to job to more promising workers for the foreseeable future. There are only so many reboots you can do for a talent before it's time to focus on someone else. Ziggler vs. Sami next.

- Naomi/Charlotte/Becky vs. Natalya/Carmella/Tamina:
James Ellsworth hands Carmella the women's title to KO Naomi, but Charlotte takes it from her. She goes to clock Ellsworth, but... oops! She knocks the champ out and the heels get the win. F for originality, I know.

- Owens vs. AJ:
Owens wins and moves on to face Luke Harper as we head to Owens vs. Shinsuke at Summerslam. They need to make the most of Owens injuring Jericho. AJ vs. Jinder next works for me.

- Orton vs. Jinder:
Jinder and the Singhs give it their all, but this one goes to Randy. Randy vs. Corbin next makes sense.

More wrestling coming up.
