Match Card, Potential Spoilers, Predictions and More for WWE Backlash 2020 Card

The 2020 edition of WWE's Backlash pay-per-view is approaching fast, and wrestling fans are ready to break down every detail of the card.

While Raw and SmackDown have been better from a storyline and character development perspective recently, the lack of fans in attendance has become a distraction for some, leaving the excitement levels for the shows lower than expected.

With multiple men's and women's championships on the line and "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" booked for Sunday's show, the WWE Universe's interest is piqued.

Here is the full match card, predictions, potential spoilers and more for Backlash.

Rumors Regarding Edge vs. Randy Orton

The main event of the 2020 Backlash event is being dubbed "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever", the second chapter of the rekindled feud between Edge and Randy Orton. According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live (h/t Wrestling Inc), the bout has already been taped.

Alvarez said the match was taped June 7, at the Performance Center and lasted for around 30-35 minutes. He believes this is the unedited version, so what airs on WWE Network could be shorter.

In an interview with Arda Ocal of ESPN, Edge spoke about the contest and its expectations thanks to the "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" moniker:

"I just laughed because I didn't think it was serious. Then I realized fairly quickly it was. Then my reaction was, is this wise, because anytime you say something the greatest ever beforehand, you're setting yourself up for failure. And I don't ever want to think that way. I need to think the opposite of that. I can't control the court of public opinion."

It's unfortunate that CEO Vince McMahon and Co. added the tagline to this rematch, as Edge and Orton were doing a great job building the story through their promos. Adding an unattainable goal sets up the match for failure, which is counterproductive, to say the least.

Possible WWE Championship Match Spoiler

The in-ring battle between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley should exceed even the highest expectations Sunday, but fans may be disappointed if they were looking forward to the champion holding the title for a long period of time.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Ringside News), MVP is being booked alongside Lashley so he can be his mouthpiece during a run with the WWE Championship.

The betting odds are still in McIntyre's favor (h/t Matt Boone of EWrestling), but the shakeup behind the scenes in WWE with the departure of Paul Heyman from the WWE Creative team could result in a reset on Raw, including a world title change heading into the summer.

McIntyre's run with the title has been overshadowed by the terrible television ratings during the fan-less show era, so taking the championship off him would alleviate that burden on his character.

When WWE returns to crowd-filled arenas, the Scottish Superstar can recapture the title and have the coronation he deserves.
