We have WWE Backlash 2026 betting for the first pay-per-view event after WrestleMania 42, so it’s time for some predictions!
This year’s WWE Backlash will be held at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, May 9. Will Roman Reigns hold on to the World Heavyweight Championship against his cousin, Jacob Fatu?
Let’s explore the WWE Backlash betting odds for this match and two others, for which I share my predictions and betting picks!
2026 WWE Backlash Predictions Summary
| MATCH | BETTING FAVORITE | PREDICTION |
|---|---|---|
| Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu | Roman Reigns (-1500) | Roman Reigns (-1500) |
| Iyo Sky vs. Asuka | Iyo Sky (-1000) | Iyo Sky (-1000) |
| Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins | Bron Breakker (-130) | Bron Breakker (-130) |
| Danhausen/TBD vs. The Miz/Kit | Danhausen/TBD (-5000) | Danhausen/TBD (-5000) |
| Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn | Trick Williams (-1000) | Trick Williams (-1000) |
The prices at WWE betting sites feature two large favorites in the three matches there are odds for. Roman Reigns (-1500) has an implied probability of 93.7% in his match with former fellow Bloodline member, Jacob Fatu. He comes back with an implied probability of 15.4%.
Iyo Sky (-1000) has been given a 90.9% implied chance in another grudge match against Asuka (+550), Sky’s former stablemate in Damage CTRL. But the WWE Backlash odds are much closer for our final match as Bron Breakker (-130) is slightly favored over Seth Rollins (-110). Breaker’s implied probability of 56.5% at the bookies is just higher than Rollins at 52.4% in this clash of former Vision teammates.

Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu Odds and Betting Prediction
- Roman Reigns (-1500)
- Jacob Fatu (+600)
Reigns celebrated his win over CM Punk at WrestleMania 42 the following night on Raw with the Usos, who are also cousins with Reigns. But Fatu called out Reigns for a title match, and Reigns said he would take a week to make his decision.
The champion still didn’t think Fatu deserved a title match, but changed his mind after he was attacked by his cousin.
The 2026 WWE Backlash odds for this are deservedly high as Reigns is the biggest name in the company. I can’t see WWE taking the belt off Reigns already, so I can’t recommend a bet on the champion here. There is a world in which Fatu eventually beats Reigns for the belt, but it won’t come at Backlash in Tampa on Saturday.
This match is either part of a longer build-up for this feud or a way to keep Reigns busy until the writers decide what to do with him next. Either way, I can only see one winner here. Unfortunately, the odds are just not worth a bet, so I recommend skipping this match in your Backlash bets.
Iyo Sky vs. Asuka Odds and Betting Prediction
- Iyo Sky (-1000)
- Asuka (+550)
As was noted, Sky and Asuka were in Damage CTRL together. But they’ve been in a rivalry together since last summer, and have competed against each other in singles and tag-team matches. Sky tried to get between Asuka and Kairi Sane, who were the Kubuki Warriors as Sky felt Sane was being mistreated by Sane, who was recently released by WWE.
Asuka interfered in Sky’s match with WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, which sets up this match. The WWE Backlash odds are heavily leaning towards Sky, who is simply a bigger draw, and she should get the win over her former teammate. However, I have the feeling this won’t be their last match.
At -1000, I won’t be making a wager on this match, although it’s worth keeping an eye on to see if the Backlash prices move towards Asuka. If you can get something -500 or better for Sky, backing her would make sense.
Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins Odds and Betting Prediction
- Bron Breakker (-130)
- Seth Rollins (-110)
Breakker and Rollins were both under manager Paul Heyman last year, and came together to create The Vision. However, Breakker and Bronson Reed kicked Rollins out, and replaced him with Austin Theory and Logan Paul.
A masked Rollins then caused Breakker to be eliminated at the Royal Rumble. Breakker than got his revenge on Rollins at WrestleMania 42, hitting a spear to cause Rollins to lose to Gunther.
The bookies think this match is close to a coin flip, so I’ll back the 2026 WWE Backlash odds of Bron Breakker to win this match. I think he’s the better option going forward for the company, and he’ll also get help from Paul and Theory on Saturday night. At -130, I’m willing to lay the wager on Breakker in a feud that will likely go for another couple months.
Where To Find 2026 WWE Backlash Betting Odds?
Here are my WWE Backlash betting predictions for Saturday in Tampa. I expect Roman Reigns and Iyo Sky to win, but only wager on those if the WWE Backlash odds start to come down to earth. Meanwhile, the following pick makes the most sense:
- Bron Breakker (-130)
