WrestleMania Backlash is set to host some big championship matches on May 16, 2021. The pay-per-view will be held behind closed doors again, but fans are looking forward to watching the action on their television screens.
At the event, a WWE Championship match is set to take place between Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Braun Strowman. Lashley and McIntyre have been feuding for some time now, while Strowman recently became part of the equation.
However, The Monster Among Men’s inclusion in the match should make things more hard-hitting and interesting.
There are a few different ways the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash could end. A couple of surprises will make the top title scenario even more intriguing.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the five possible finishes for the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash.
#5 Braun Strowman powerslams Drew McIntyre to win his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash
Braun Strowman has had several WWE Championship matches throughout his career. However, he has failed to win the title on every occasion thus far.
During WrestleMania Backlash, Strowman could break the curse and take down both Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley with some big moves. After a good contest, Strowman may hit McIntyre with a running powerslam to win the match and the WWE Championship.
McIntyre has been in the WWE title picture for well over a year, and it would be perfect for him to take the fall and move on towards another rivalry. The finish will allow Strowman and Lashley to continue feuding for the title in the foreseeable future.
The Monster Among Men has had a good year so far. He picked up a big victory over Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 37.
Another major victory at WrestleMania Backlash would only help Strowman continue his good run in WWE.
#4 Drew McIntyre Claymore Kicks Braun Strowman to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash
Drew McIntyre will enter WrestleMania Backlash, aiming to win back the WWE Championship. McIntyre lost the title to The Miz after the latter cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase at WWE Elimination Chamber.
The Miz’s title reign was cut short by Lashley, who defeated him to win his first WWE Championship. At WrestleMania 37, McIntyre was unable to defeat The All Mighty.
There is a way Strowman’s presence in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania Backlash would work in McIntyre’s favor, as the latter could pin him to win the title held by Lashley.
The Scottish Warrior may Claymore Kick Strowman to accomplish the same.
McIntyre has had two good reigns with the WWE Championship already, and at WrestleMania Backlash, he could embark on another successful WWE title reign.
If McIntyre successfully pins Strowman at the upcoming pay-per-view, there is enough scope for him to continue the interesting rivalry with Lashley for a while. As a result, Strowman will have fulfilled his role as a third party to strengthen the legitimacy of McIntyre and Lashley's pre-existing feud.
#3 Bobby Lashley makes Braun Strowman pass out to retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash
Heading into WrestleMania Backlash, Bobby Lashley is currently in his very first reign as the WWE Champion. He’s been doing a good job at the top of the RAW brand. Along with MVP, he has had the best time of his career in WWE.
In addition to The All Mighty's dominant presence in WWE over the last year, he defeated Braun Strowman on RAW not too long ago. Lashley came close to a loss against Drew McIntyre on last week's RAW, but that does not mean he will let history repeat itself.
Lashley has everything to lose and therefore will try his best to retain his title in the triple threat match on Sunday. Keeping that in mind, WWE could allow Lashley to retain his title after a dominant performance.
Lashley may specifically take down Strowman to retain his title and come across as a dominant champion.
There are still several remaining challengers who could face The All Mighty for his WWE title, which is why Lashley must retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash.
#2 Drew McIntyre wins the WWE Championship; Jinder Mahal attacks him at WrestleMania Backlash
WrestleMania Backlash might end up being Drew McIntyre’s event as he could very well be on his way to another WWE Championship victory. McIntyre has been WWE’s poster boy over the past year, which is why another world title win seems a likely possibility for him in the near future.
At WrestleMania Backlash, The Scottish Warrior could hit either Braun Strowman or Bobby Lashley with a Claymore and become the new WWE Champion a few moments later.
However, things may take an interesting turn following the match. McIntyre could be ambushed by an old ally. Jinder Mahal recently returned to RAW with his brand new entourage (Veer and Shanky).
McIntyre and Mahal were partners during their time as 3MB, and fans have been waiting to see a rivalry between them. WWE should give the fans what they want by booking McIntyre to win the title before he gets brutalized by Mahal and his henchmen.
This could be the perfect way to kickstart a new rivalry for the WWE title between two former friends ahead of Money in the Bank.
Sheamus vs. McIntyre ended up being a successful feud between two former friends, so there is scope to build an intriguing rivalry between Mahal and McIntyre in 2021.
#1 Bobby Lashley retains the WWE Championship; Brock Lesnar returns at WrestleMania Backlash
Although Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman have decent chances to win at WrestleMania Backlash, Bobby Lashley still seems to have the upper hand over his opponents. Lashley has been dominant over the past few months and could end up spearing both men before applying the Hurt Lock to Strowman.
If Lashley ends up retaining the WWE Championship, fans could receive a big surprise with the return of Brock Lesnar. The WWE Universe has been waiting for The All Mighty and The Beast to have a big match.
Lesnar has been away from WWE since WrestleMania 36. The Beast could return to deliver a couple of F5s to Lashley and make his intentions perfectly clear.
WWE wants to bring fans back to the arenas, and Lesnar could return in time to build some hype around the idea.
If Brock Lesnar's potential return becomes an actual outcome this Sunday, Lashley vs. Lesnar for the WWE Championship may eventually happen at the next pay-per-view with fans in attendance.
