WWE Backlash 2018 Predictions

-
WWE Backlash 2018 will go down tomorrow night in Newark, New Jersey, a city known for it's rowdy crowds and intense atmosphere.  Backlash is one of the most historically consistent PPV's in WWE, generally putting on a very solid show, with the exception of the odd match here and there.  This year's event will feature 8 matches on the main show, and one on the pre-show, with a huge tag team bout looking to take the main event spot.  Here are Wrestling Boom's predictions for this year's Backlash event.

Pre-show: Bayley vs. Ruby Riott
