Becky Lynch’s current storyline feels like a recycled version of John Cena’s farewell angle, following the same blame game and weak excuse for turning heel. If Vince McMahon were still in charge, he likely would have scrapped the idea entirely, as he was known for keeping things fresh and giving villains meaningful reasons for their turn.
The aftershock of WrestleMania 41 is still being felt. Rollins and Breakker have the potential to be a memorable faction, but they have serious opposition to contend with in Punk and Zayn. Complicating matters is world heavyweight champion Jey Uso, who's involved in the feud while also dealing with Logan Paul and Gunther.
An Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and Randy Orton secures top billing. Ever since Cena captured the gold from Cody Rhodes at "WrestleMania 41," Orton has been haunting his longtime nemesis. Cena has been on the receiving end of three RKOs in the lead-up to "Backlash," and he'll look to avoid Orton's legendary move on Saturday.
