Hey everybody! It’s @TheMagnumDA with yet another installment of the Pick’em report. Tonight, AT BACKLASH, it’s time to run it back. It was only THREE WEEKS ago when we crowned a new WOPC Champion (yours truly!), and just like that…I am back to defend the title against Colin.

With most cards that have 5-6 matches, Colin and I have used the tried and true “Confidence Pool” pick’em system, and that’s what we are going to do here…with one bonus question included! What are we waiting for?! LFG!!!

ON WITH THE PICKS!

Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker (with Paul Heyman)

Magnum: This match will open the show, and will be featured on one of the major ESPN networks (similar to Mania). The fans watching are in for a treat – Bron Brekker’s health issues really put a wrench in his WrestleMania plans, but I see Bron getting back on track with a victory over Seth Rollins. Only putting 2 points on it, though.

Colin: I think it’s time for Bron Breakker to get that big win and it will come tonight. Rollins can eat an L and still be strong but Bron can’t afford it. I’m hoping for a clean win for the former IC champion Bron Breakker here. Woof woof. 1 point.

WWE United States Championship
Trick Williams (c) (with Lil Yachty) vs. Sami Zayn

Magnum: That segment last night…man, that was weird. Sami and Truth together were hilarious, though. As for this match, I think Sami is still trying to figure himself out with this heel turn. I feel like Trick will be moving on after retaining the title in this match. Give me Trick to win and I’ll put 4 points on it.

Colin: The whole Gingerbread Man thing is sooooooo stupid. Can’t believe they actually had a f’n funeral for him on Smackdown last night. Feels like Vince McMahon is booking this shit again. Anyway, there’s no way they’re taking the belt off of Trick so soon after winning it. I give Sami Zayn zero chance in this match, so give me a Trick win. 5 points.

Iyo Sky vs. Asuka

Magnum: This is going to be a tremendous match. Don’t be surprised if this one steals the show. I feel like it’s not the same without Kairi being involved, but again this will be awesome. I’ll take Iyo to win, and I’ll put 3 points on it.

Colin: I still have no idea why they released Kairi Sane, stuff like this boggles my mind. I hope she can make an appearance tonight and finish off the storyline, even though the payoff would have been her vs Asuka. But anyway, I’m picking an Iyo Sky win and some interference from Sane, costing Asuka the match. 2 points.

Danhausen and ??? vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson
Bonus Question (1 Bonus Point): Who is the Mystery Tag Team Partner?

Magnum: Okay, let’s take care of the bonus question first. I think CM Punk would be a great choice for this match, but it doesn’t make sense to make the former World Champion to come back in this role. All the rumors have been swirling around Jelly Roll…and while I feel like that would be a step backwards for Danhausen, I also can’t see it being Punk. Danhausen and Jelly Roll win, 5 points on it.

Colin: I just hope it’s not Jelly Roll. PLEASE GOD. I would be okay with the mystery partner being either CM Punk or even Oba Femi. Femi would be cool and picking him as the partner. I don’t get the Danhausen gimmick, but a lot of people do so I’m in the minority here and he’s super over so whatever. Danhausen and mystery partner win, 3 points.

World Heavyweight Championship
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu

Magnum: Fatu said something interesting on Smackdown last night – he promised he wouldn’t lose. I actually believe him. I am convinced that this match is not going to end with a decided winner. I think there will be some kind of crazy spot or stunt that leads to a rematch. I believe, when push comes to shove, Roman is somehow going to retain, but I am only putting 1 point on the OTC. This feud is not over yet.

Colin: I’m surprised they pulled the trigger on this so soon. But Fatu deserves a main event spot and he’s great and all that…but he’s not winning the title tonight. Somehow, someway, Reigns will pull it off and everyone will acknowledge the OTC. #AndStill with 4 points.

Alright everybody! That’s going to do it for us at the Pick’em report. Enjoy Backlash and we’ll see you next time right here on Wrestling-Online. @TheMagnumDA signing off.
