Test EVENT

WrestleMania may be in the rearview mirror, but WWE is heavily teasing two matches soon that could potentially headline that event in a different year.

First up is WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk. They met up in the ring last week for a friendly chat about looking like losers and how Punk can challenge for the belt any time he wants. It would be foolish to rush into this match for Backlash, and Cody’s eye injury probably means he won’t be able to wrestle on that show anyway. However, this could very well be the main event of SummerSlam in August. Thanks for going home, Pat McAfee!

The major match that’s much more likely to go down at Backlash is World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf issued the challenge last week after Roman reunited The Bloodline with Jimmy and Jey Uso. The Usos tried to convince Jacob to join them and go after Rhodes’ belt instead, but Fatu would not budge from his stubborn position in targeting the OTC.
