WrestleMania Backlash is now only a few hours away as the company gets ready for its first pay-per-view event after its biggest annual event. The show is fully booked with some big matches on the card.
Roman Reigns will defend his Universal Championship against Cesaro while Jimmy Uso tries to figure out where his loyalties lie. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre will try to win back his WWE Championship as he competes against the champion — Bobby Lashley — as well as Braun Strowman. With three superstars competing, there's always a level of uncertainty.
In the women's division, Bianca Belair will try to defend her title against one of the most accomplished SmackDown Women's Champions of all time at WrestleMania Backlash — Bayley. On the other side of things, Rhea Ripley will be facing a massive challenge of defending her RAW Women's Championship against two of the top women on the main roster — Asuka and Charlotte Flair.

With multiple other matches on the card, let's take a look at the top five betrayals that could happen at WrestleMania Backlash.
#5 Dominik Mysterio turns on Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania Backlash
Dominik and Rey Mysterio are set to face The Dirty Dawgs at WrestleMania Backlash. For a while now, the father and son team has been looking to become the first-ever such team to hold tag team gold.
Rey Mysterio always talked about wanting to wrestle with his son in a tag team, and he has been living that dream for the past few weeks. He also talked about wanting to retire last year, but that didn't happen. Now, the superstar could take a step back, but in doing so, make his son the next big luchador in WWE.
If Rey and Dominik Mysterio fail to win tag team gold against The Dirty Dawgs at WrestleMania Backlash, Dominik could turn on his father. A beatdown would see him turn heel and get a more compelling storyline.
In the future, it could even lead to a storyline where Rey's mask is on the line and Dominik winning could force him to retire, while his son dons a new mask to carry on his family legacy.
#4 Keith Lee turns on Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania Backlash
Drew McIntyre will try to regain the WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman at WrestleMania Backlash. However, there could be a surprise waiting for him.
Keith Lee has been absent from wrestling for a while. He was last seen wrestling on RAW in February, where he faced Riddle. He appeared set for a run with the United States title, but an injury saw him take a step back from in-ring action. Lee has been talking about working to return to RAW for some time, and he could do so at WrestleMania Backlash.
Before he disappeared from the main roster, Lee was one of the most beloved wrestlers on RAW. While fans were disappointed with his initial run on the Red brand, Lee seemed poised to do more. Sheamus is currently doing a good job with the United States title. On the other hand, Drew McIntyre may be caught up in a feud for the WWE Championship, but Lashley deserves a longer run.
As a result, Lee and McIntyre could enter a feud against each other at WrestleMania Backlash. The interference from Lee at the pay-per-view could lead to several interesting storylines. Lee and McIntyre are known to have a lot of respect for each other. Keith Lee returning as a heel and attacking Drew McIntyre could also lead to him getting a more interesting character.
#3 Toni Storm turns on Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania Backlash
WrestleMania Backlash could be the scene of a main roster debut from Toni Storm.
Storm's luck has been on a downward trend for some time. The superstar is one of the top women on WWE's roster but has failed to assert her claim to dominance despite her best attempts.
She lost her last two attempts at winning the NXT Women's Championship after Io Shirai retained successfully against her and Mercedes Martinez in February, and then again in March. Since then, she has also lost against Zoey Stark and Zayda Ramier. Her form has not been the best to say the least, and it could be time for her to seek new stomping grounds.
A call-up to the main roster could likely be the perfect recipe to revitalize her career now. Storm and Rhea Ripley came up together and they fought against each other to get to where they are in the wrestling world. Their history together makes a feud between them seemingly inevitable at some point on the main roster.
Ripley recently won the RAW Women's Championship and will be defending against Charlotte Flair and Asuka. Interference from Toni Storm at WrestleMania Backlash could prove to be a crucial factor in proceedings. If the betrayal came out of nowhere, it would also help to establish Storm on the main roster.
She's scheduled for a match on NXT, but that has not stopped other wrestlers from making their main roster debuts in the past. Fans will have to keep an eye on WrestleMania Backlash to see if this happens.
#2 John Morrison betrays The Miz at WrestleMania Backlash
WrestleMania Backlash could see the end of a long friendship.
For a while now, it's seemed that The Miz was unhappy with John Morrison. Week after week, there has been some conflict between the two apparent best friends. Ever since Royal Rumble, The Miz and Morrison have been on somewhat of a losing streak against Damian Priest and Bad Bunny.
While Bunny may be gone, their feud has continued against Priest. Over recent weeks, Morrison seemed a little disgruntled with The A-Lister because of how he paid more attention to Maryse when his wife was a part of the show. At the same time, The Miz didn't seem to appreciate Morrison volunteering himself into rather difficult situations.
This week on RAW, John Morrison faced Damian Priest and because he lost, Priest got the right to pick the stipulation for his match against the former WWE Champion. At the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view, The Miz will face Priest in a Lumberjack Match.
The odds are already in Priest's favor but could prove to be more so if Morrison decides that the time has come to leave The Miz's side once and for all, and betray him. A feud between the two could prove to be interesting for the future.
#1 Jey Uso could turn on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania Backlash
Jey Uso is slated to be ringside for Roman Reigns' match against Cesaro at WrestleMania Backlash.
Jey has been by Roman Reigns' side for a long time. Since the Universal Champion defeated Jey and made him bow down to him, the former tag team champion has been through a lot.
As Reigns' lackey, he has attacked and wrestled various other wrestlers, at no benefit to himself. He suffered assault after assault from Reigns' opponents and was forced to take them. At the same time, every time he failed to deliver on The Tribal Chief's expectations, Reigns blamed him and made sure he knew about it.
Since Jimmy Uso returned, Jey has been trying to convince him to join Reigns. However, for all his efforts, he has only been beaten down by Cesaro. The Swiss Cyborg destroyed Jey ahead of the WrestleMania Backlash event and that may have proved to be the last straw.
Finally, at the event, Jey Uso could take his brother's advice and break away from Roman Reigns by attacking him during the show. It would be the perfect chance for him to leave his cousin by the wayside, while also giving Reigns an excuse for losing.
Cesaro could emerge as the new WWE Universal Champion if everything plays in his favor.
