Add as a preferred source on Google Roman Reigns heads into WWE Backlash this Saturday in Tampa, Florida as the heavy favorite to retain the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu. The event will take place at the Benchmark International Arena and will feature five matches on the card.
Projections released by specialized betting sites list Reigns as the biggest favorite of the night, even after weeks of strong booking that positioned Fatu as a real threat within the new Bloodline saga.
Beyond the main event, Trick Williams also shows up in a very favorable position to retain the United States Championship against Sami Zayn. IYO SKY, meanwhile, comes in with a considerable edge heading into her highly anticipated match against Asuka.
The most evenly matched bout, at least according to these projections, is between Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins. Breakker shows up slightly ahead, but the gap is much smaller compared to the other matches on the card.
Another point drawing attention involves Danhausen and his mystery partner against The Miz and Kit Wilson. The presence of a still-unannounced name has raised expectations for a major surprise.
It’s worth remembering that these odds don’t confirm who will actually win their matches.
