8 last-minute predictions for WWE Backlash 2018

#8 AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (WWE Championship)

This will be the third match in a month between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura has failed to win the WWE Championship at four PPV events in the last eight months – losing twice to Jinder Mahal and twice to AJ Styles – so you get the feeling that this will be his last opportunity at the title if he fails to win on Sunday.

The match has extra intrigue surrounding it following Paige’s announcement that it will carry a No Disqualification stipulation, which opens up the possibility of interference from other roster members.

We previously alluded to The Club possibly interfering in the match to help Nakamura, not Styles, walk away with the title – and we still think it might happen. Let’s go for Nakamura, courtesy of the Good (Bad) Brothers.

Prediction: Shinsuke Nakamura
