Possible Outcomes For WWE Backlash 2018

#2 Roman Reigns defeats Samoa Joe

Roman Reigns failed to capture the Universal Championship at the greatest royal rumble. Reigns took on Brock Lesnar in a steel cage match and once again came up short.

Lesnar retained the title after Reigns speared him through the cage causing him to fall out of the ring. But the result was controversial as Reigns' feet were the first to hit the ground.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Reigns would eventually reiterate the fact that he should be the Universal Champion. But before he could get another opportunity at Lesnar's title, he has a roadblock in Samoa Joe.

Samoa Joe returned from injury on the Raw after WrestleMania and challenged Reigns to a match at Backlash. Joe would then get drafted to SmackDown Live as a part of the Superstar shake-up.

The Big Dog is the favorite to win this match as it won't make sense to have Joe defeat Reigns and move on to SmackDown Live. We can expect Reigns to win the match and move on to a possible final showdown with Brock Lesnar.
