It's this Sunday, and while I won't be recapping it (maybe someone else will), its probably time to start talking about it. Card seems a bit short with only 7 matches; maybe a tag match gets added to the card.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But really, it makes sense at this point for Cantino/Team Charisma to have a title match, especially after getting mic time for once Monday.

Anyway, here's what looks like the final card.

World Title Match: Undertaker vs. Edge

Big Show vs. The Great Khali

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match: Randy Orton v. John Cena v. HHH v. JBL

ECW Champion Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero

Batista vs. Shawn Michaels

12-Diva Tag Team Match: Team Mickie v. Team Phoenix


Couple of interesting matches with Michaels/Batista standing out storyline wise the past month and a long time coming for the MVP/Hardy match. Hopefully that can give us something nice considering the over 8 month build its had.

While I still won't buy it this has the making of one of the better Backlash Cards from an intrigue standpoint.

World Title Match: Undertaker vs. Edge - These are two of my favorites and anything they are in the ring together it could be fun. I watched the tail end of the Mania match and it was pretty good. My hope is they give the title back to Edge because I think he is the best thing going and Edge/Punk down the line could be really good. But I do think the WWE wants to give Taker a better run then 1 month.

Big Show vs. The Great Khali - Only real intrigue is how much they let Show kill Khali. Show is way over with the crowd since his return. Hopefully they don't sap his momentum bu making him feud with Khali for longer then a month.

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy - Will Matt finally get his due? A long feud could come to a close and a new era could (and probably should) begin.

WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match: Randy Orton v. John Cena v. HHH v. JBL - After winning at Mania I really can't see Orton losing here. But anytime Cena is in a match there is the chance that he squashes all.

ECW Champion Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero - Not too much intrigue for me here. I liked Chavo as ECW Champ. I'm not sure Kane and Chavo are the best matchup. I like them both but against each other I haven't really gotten itno the story.

Batista vs. Shawn Michaels - Match of the Night. I'm pumped for these two finally to stop talking and to start fighting. I'm not sure who wins but I think this feud last longer and the next phase won't be based on promos but rather on fighting. I see Batista turning full blown heel somewhere in this feud.

12-Diva Tag Team Match: Team Mickie v. Team Phoenix - Don't really care other then I'd like to see what Nattie Neidhart can do in the ring. Team Heel has lots more talent but I'm sure Team Face will go over big. Seeing Cherry punk out Victoria he other day on Raw was just too unbelievable.

I wonder if Regal will get to do anything at the PPV given his recent King of the Ring victory.

Just quickly...

I think the Undertakers going to get a nice run with the belt this time around, so he's winning Sunday.

Same with Orton. I can't imagine after all this momentum and the way he's finally getting into a groove that they'd take the belt off of him now. I predict we'll be seeing Punk around Raw a little bit more after this event.

Face divas win. Match will be garbage. And as usual, hopefully Ashley gets hurt.

Tough decision with the ECW match as I have no idea where they will ever go with this belt. This is pretty much the best they've done feud-wise with the belt there in a while. I'll just throw it out there and say Kane holds on. I don't know why.

Hardy finally gets the belt. If he doesn't, it's a huge mistake. But after MVP getting the upperhand on Smackdown, I think Hardy's going to do it.

Show will kill Khali, then Khali will become a Bollywood star, deciding to leave wrestling behind for a movie career, only to return to induct Sonjay Dutt into the TNA Hall of Fame in 7 years.

HBK/Batista. I have no idea whats going to happen here. Whatever happens, I have a feeling this isn't over quite yet. I wonder what role Jericho will play, or if this is going to lead to a new faction as I've been slightly thinking it will. As for a result...I'll just say HBK wins by DQ due to Batista snapping or something and destroying him with some sort of foreign object.



*Oh, and in case its announced...what the hell....Carlito and Santino win the tag titles.

Jerry: The atmosphere is erect ... electric here tonight.

Adamle only slaughtered about half the match last night and the entire ECW intro at the beginning of the show...so...um...I guess that's marked improvement...
