WWE ‘Backlash’ predictions: Who will win?

Predicted winner: Bron Breakker

Iyo Sky vs. Asuka

Iyo Sky must confront her former friend Asuka in this emotionally charged matchup that is months in the making.

Asuka, a decorated star who will be placed into the WWE Hall of Fame someday, has been jealous of Sky's success and her friendship with Rhea Ripley. The jealousy turned to hatred as Asuka has continued to torment her former ally, even costing Sky a match against Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch.

Due to the ability of Sky and Asuka, this has the chance to be the best match of the night. Coupled with the fact that this bout really should have been at WrestleMania 42, Sky and Asuka might feel extra motivation to prove that they are two of the best women's wrestlers in the world.

With how emotional the feud has gotten, this might be just part one of an epic story that can continue throughout the summer. With that in mind, Asuka should win to keep the storyline moving, perhaps by using her signature mist to blind Sky.

Predicted winner: Asuka

Trick Williams (champion) vs. Sami Zayn for the United States Championship

A rematch from WrestleMania 42, Trick Williams must defend his newly acquired United States Championship against the man he took it from, Sami Zayn.

Williams, a newcomer who is still finding his way on SmackDown, is already hugely popular with fans as they scream out "whoop that trick" every time he enters the arena. His win at WrestleMania 42 against Zayn was massive and really helped establish him as one of WWE's most promising upcoming stars.

Zayn has continued teasing that he is turning to the darkside, getting frustrated with Williams and his antics. This title match will most likely further push the idea that Zayn has turned evil. Look for Zayn to cheat but Williams should still win so that he can continue climbing the ranks at SmackDown.

Predicted winner: Trick Williams

Danhausen and a mystery partner vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson

One of WWE's most unique characters in years, Danhausen must find a partner to take on The Miz and his protege Kit Wilson.

Danhausen has taken WWE by storm. The "very nice, very evil" grappler, who is like a cross between a demon, a wizard and a late night host, has only wanted to be The Miz's friend. The A-lister has totally shunned Danhausen though, leading him to curse The Miz at every stop.

Danhausen's curses are effective too. They have led to The Miz losing matches and Danhausen picking up his first WWE victory against Wilson. With mystical, unexplained powers on his side, does Danhausen really need a partner?

In any case, Danhausen has quickly become the most entertaining part of WWE and this match will be no different. Expect Danhausen's partner to either be someone extremely imposing who will dominate The Miz and Wilson, or someone also comedy-focused with Danhausen using his curses to win the match in hilarious fashion.

Predicted winner: Danhausen and his mystery partner

WWE Backlash will stream Saturday at 6 p.m. EDT on the ESPN app in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
