3) Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn has been out of action for the past several weeks. Zayn pulled himself from WWE television due to concerns about working during the coronavirus pandemic. With more things opening up again around the world, I could potentially see Zayn returning at Backlash.
There is a natural feud waiting between Zayn and AJ Styles after he won the Intercontinental Championship. This is because Zayn never lost the belt and was forced to vacate it. I could see Sami showing up at Backlash and attacking AJ Styles. This would set up a match at Extreme Rules to determine who is the true Intercontinental Champion.
I could see Sami potentially returning at this event or on Smackdown in the upcoming weeks. He is someone to watch out.
2) Shayna Baszler
Shayna Baszler hasn’t been seen on RAW for a few weeks now. A recent report suggest that she is not injured, which means that WWE doesn’t have anything for her right now. I could actually see Shayna making her return at the Backlash PPV.
I could see Shayna showing up at Backlash and attacking either Nia Jax or Asuka during the RAW Women’s Championship match. This would cause the match to end via disqualification. The main reason why they would do this is to keep Asuka and Nia from taking a clean loss.
This would set up a triple threat match at Extreme Rules between Shayna, Nia, and Asuka. They could also add in Charlotte Flair to make it a fatal 4-way. Either way, I could see WWE using Shayna at Backlash to protect both Nia and Asuka.
