411 PPV Roundtable Preview: WWE Backlash 2009
Introduction:
Immediately after WrestleMania, there are usually still issues that need to be settled completely, and nothing will do for big feud-ending matches but to have them on Pay Per View. And hence we have Backlash, where all the fallout from WrestleMania can, maybe, finally be settled, and we can move on into the summer months and the build for SummerSlam.
Well, it’s fortunate that WWE has some ready-made feuds to end this year, because they spent the last three weeks of television dicking around with meaningless interbrand matches, the 2009 Draft, and the big mystery of Santina Marella. But a look at the card shows that there is a chance for some truly legendary occurrences, as Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat wrestles his very first one-on-one match in fifteen years, the Hardy Boys have what promises to be their ultimate grudge match in a brutal blood feud, and the forces of Edge and John Cena, tied together throughout the last several years, look to try and leave it all in the ring in one final, massive encounter that both men have promised with put the final stamp on their rivalry.
Oh yeah, and Triple H and Randy Orton are fighting again, with McMahons, Batista, and Legacy all along for the ride. And in the shadows, CM Punk and his Money in the Bank title shot lurk…
And what would a PPV be without the 411 Staff along for the ride to provide their opinions and predictions for the show? Pretty damned bored, that’s what. That’s right, 411 makes Pay Per View even better. You should pay us thirty bucks just for reading. But we’re nice, so you can join us for free. And who are we? Let’s take a look.

Everyone’s ready, so let’s get started with this month’s latest PPV offering…
WWE BACKLASH 2009
Kane vs CM Punk
Stephen Randle: Unless WWE decides from reading this (because I’m sure someone there does) that it’s too obvious and predictable and we’d actually want it to happen and changes it, I suspect this match was made in order to remind people that Punk has the Money in the Bank shot and is, indeed, present in the arena.
Winner: CM Punk
Julian Bond: I’m strongly sticking to my prediction of Punk being the “ultimate opportunist” and cashing in his MITB briefcase against the winner of Edge/Cena. So with that, Punk should get the win here for momentum.
Winner: CM Punk
Dan Torkel: Umm, really? Wow this ppv looks terrible? The entire WWE seems completely uninspired now as we had a lackluster Wrestlemania and now an awful looking Backlash. Where are Taker and Shawn after their classic? Why is Steamboat the best wrestler in the company? Bah! Now here we have Kane against Punk. Punk has the briefcase and can start to build to a huge year here by getting by Kane.
Winner: CM Punk via G2S
Jeremy Thomas: Let’s see, it’s Mr. Money in the Bank vs. the guy who’s perennially over no matter how many losses he takes. This is pretty clearly to me a match intended to put Punk over as more of a main eventer, and with a dearth of major faces on the SmackDown roster, this seems like an opportunity to help get Punk over. Kane will have his dominating moments in the match, but this one is Punk’s through and through.
Winner: CM Punk (Pin via Go 2 Sleep)
Andy Clark: Despite their tricky performance on Raw I have faith in them to put on a good match. If you remember they had a really good match on ECW back when Kane was champion last year. While I suppose it’s possible for Punk to lose, I’d expect him to cash in that briefcase soon so I figure he’ll get the win here.
Winner: CM Punk
Rob McNew: I’m not even sure why this match is taking place. This is like one of those old Wrestlemania’s where they threw everyone into a match storyline or no storyline. Only problem is this is a seven match card, and not a fourteen match card. Anyway, Punk is on the rise, and Kane’s job is to put guys like that over. It’s simple logic.
Winner: CM Punk
Robert S. Leighty Jr: This shouldn’t be too hard. Kane can loss every night for the rest of his career and the crowd will still pop for him, so a loss to Mr Money in the Bank won’t do anything to hurt the big man.
Winner: CM Punk
Mathew Sforcina: Now, normally with WWE you’d take the logical option, reverse it, then roll a dice to see what they end up doing. But I fail to see how WWE could be so stupid as to have Mr. MITB lose here.
Winner: CM Punk (Freak Roll Up that makes Punk look like a wimp)
Michael Weyer: Assuming this goes on, it should be a pretty good fight. With Kane hanging it up soon and Punk rising due to his MITB, I see the big red guy going down here as Punk asserts himself into contention.
WINNER: CM PUNK BABY!
Michael Bauer: If this match happens (and I don’t see why not), I can’t see what benefit Kane would have by winning this. Then again, I don’t see the benefit for CM Punk either. Whoever wins probably gets a push towards the main event and only one of these two need that.
Winner: CM Punk
Chris Jericho vs Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
Stephen Randle: So, Ricky couldn’t beat Jericho with two other guys helping him, and even though he was indeed awesome, we’re supposed to believe he can actually take Jericho one-on-one? I’m sure the match will have great fan reaction, but really, it’s not going to top the moment Ricky had at WrestleMania and the day after. I suspect they may even give him the win, but I don’t like it because it will make Jericho the wrestler who lost to the fifty year old retired guy. But he’s awesome, so I’m sure he’ll bounce back.
Winner: Ricky Steamboat
Julian Bond: Since Jericho semi-surprisingly got the win against the “Legends” last month at Mania and the fact that he is in technically in-between shows right now before going to Smackdown, I think that Steamboat should get the pin. Should hopefully be the sleeper match of the night, especially due to Steamboat’s awesome-as-hell performance earlier this month.
Winner: Ricky Steamboat
Dan Torkel: Sadly I am confident this will be MOTN! Steamboat goes 15 minutes and returns to 4-star territory but Jericho does not lose here. A Jericho/Edge top heel team on SD may make me actually want to watch.
Winner: Chris Jericho – Walls of Jericho
Jeremy Thomas: I’m really glad this one’s making the card. Steamboat showed us at ‘Mania and the Raw right after that he’s got enough gas in the tank to go for a bit, and this makes for a good holding pattern feud during the lame duck period post-draft. Ricky will look good in a comeback after Jericho’s had some time to beat on him, but in the end this is Y2J’s match. The only way it doesn’t go that way is if someone comes to Ricky’s aid in order to kick-start Jericho’s next feud, but I don’t see it…or if it happens, it’ll be after the match.
Winner: Chris Jericho (Submission via the Walls of Jericho)
Andy Clark: This should be fun to watch, I just hope that Steamboat didn’t use all of his juice WrestleMania weekend. Even if Steamboat does win I’d expect a severe beatdown by a pissed of Jericho afterwards. In fact, I think that’s what I’ll go with.
Winner: Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat
Rob McNew: This could steal the show if Steamboat can actually work a full match by himself. I think Ricky goes balls out in what should be, and likely will be his farewell. In the end though Steamboat is going back to behind the curtain while Jericho heads to Smackdown to be a main event heel. Jericho wins via some shenanigans.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Robert S. Leighty Jr: Now we will see what these two can do with more time, and less bodies getting in the way. This has reasonably high expectations because of what Steamboat showed previously. Should be fascinating to see what he can do in a 1 on 1 match. I doubt we will be disappointed.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Mathew Sforcina: This, hopefully, will be as good as WM hinted at. And while some face interfering to cost Jericho the match would make sense to set up Face/Jericho…
Winner: Chris Jericho (Walls of Jericho)
Michael Weyer: THE MOTHERSHIP IS CALLING ME HOME! Mania was good but this should be an awesome matchup, both guys bringing it well. Seeing as Jericho won the first time, I think Steamboat will get it back to help put him back on top again and give the fans some joy.
WINNER: RICKY F’N STEAMBOAT
Michael Bauer: I’m surprised to see this match happen, but I am not disappointed by it either. If Steamboat can really go like he did at WrestleMania, this has a chance to be a pretty good match. Jericho gets the win here and finally ends this chapter of wrestling nostalgia.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy – “I Quit” Match
Stephen Randle: The final chapter, hopefully, of this war, and on this card, hopefully they’ll get a chance to steal the show. If the whole thing involving Jeff’s contract is real (because hell, this whole feud has involved numerous attempts to screw with the “smarts”, so why not one more time), expect him to lose here and disappear until his contract is resolved. Let’s face it, Jeff can lose every single match and will still be loved, but a heel Matt Hardy needs another massive win so he be a credible big-time heel. If they actually plan to run with that this time, that is.
Winner: Matt Hardy
Julian Bond: I with the group of people that believe that this potentially great feud has kind of unfortunately sizzled out a bit since Mania. Despite it possibly being only a short-term feud, the potential that it had to be dragged on at least for a couple more months has sadly been flushed down the toilet. But here’s hoping this match here will be the cherry of top of what could’ve been. Jeff gets the final word and his revenge here with a win.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Dan Torkel: Rumors are Matt has been given all the wins because Jeff isn’t signing a new contract. If thats true I can see the burying Jeff here and taking him off TV, and then after he resigns, bringing him back for a fresh run and another World Title. I would love a Punk/Hardy feud with Punk playing the Straight Edge heel… so much stuff he could use in promos against Jeff. But before we get to there, a grief stricken Jeff once again falls to Matt (future IC Champion) Hardy.
Winner: Matt Hardy
Jeremy Thomas: I would have totally given this to the Day-Glo Warrior before the question came up regarding his contract status. That throws a big question mark over things, though the conspiracy theorist in me can’t help but wonder if this is Vinnie Mac’s latest attempt to work the IWC in order to deliver a surprise. That’s unlikely to be honest, but I still believe that this is going to go Jeff’s way. The idea of making it “I Quit” is brilliant in my eyes as it makes the match seem special–you don’t get many I Quit’s these days, so it’s not just another ladder match or cage match or what have you. In the end, Jeff wins to end this feud, which doesn’t hurt Matt any and keeps him in the upper midcard where he’s not challenging any of the main event faces.
Winner: Jeff Hardy (Matt Quits)
Andy Clark: Jeff wins. I don’t care what his contract status is he’ll win this match if only to swerve the audience. They should have more time than at WrestleMania, but I’m not sure how much they’ll be able to do with a Last Man Standing Match also on the card.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Rob McNew: The Jeff Hardy leaving rumors kind of throw this one into doubt where before it would have been a slam duck pick for Jeff to win. If Matt wins then Jeff is obviously gone, but I think that Jeff could still win this one and then lose a “loser leaves the WWE match” of some kind next month. I think that’s probably where they go, and since its hard for a babyface to lose an I Quit match I’ll go with Jeff to finally get one up on big bro here.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Robert S. Leighty Jr: I think the WWE has realized that while the matches between the two can be good (and I expect another good one here), the fans don’t want to see these two feuding. This should be the blow-off, and unless Jeff is really leaving once his contract is up, he should go over to end the abbreviated feud.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
Mathew Sforcina: Na na na na…
Winner: Matt Hardy (Something horribly, horribly violent off screen that makes Jeff pass out)
Michael Weyer: Hard to imagine a bad bout with these guys and adding that stip just makes it more wild and bloody. I do think Jeff can get the win back in order to keep going and boost his contract renewal and give the bout more push.
WINNER: Jeff Hardy
Michael Bauer: Matt Hardy has won EVERY match here. We all know thw reason why and it makes total sense. Don’t give Jeff the push if he is leaving the company. I really want to see Jeff win here and I honestly think that if he didn’t have the contract issue that he would. But unless they are planning one more match of a cross-branded variety (no shock there), then Matt wins this and go on to land of the Heavy Hitters.
Winner: Matt Hardy
Jack Swagger © vs Christian – ECW Championship
Stephen Randle: So, which of these guys is actually more liked by Vince? Because if we believe the rumours, Swagger is in the doghouse and Vince never wanted to hire Christian in the first place. I think Swagger was probably pushed too hard, too fast, even if it is just on ECW, and the belt should go to a reliable hand who just happens to get some pretty good fan reaction and could probably sell some merchandise if they let him.
Winner: Christian
Julian Bond: Man…has WWE’s been down on Swagger as of late. The dude started off with some off-the-charts potential and shockingly won the ECW Title in very quick fashion since his debut. But since then, the guy’s (who supposed to be the flagship guy of the show now) has barely been seen on ECW TV. So with this, the long-standing and established Christian should pick up the belt here and hopefully start a feud shortly with the now-again newly push John Morrison.
Winner and NEW ECW Champion: Christian
Dan Torkel:Obviously Swagger is not a Vince favorite after being left off Wrestlemania, and Christian as ECW Champ is not exactly pushing a former TNA guy to the moon.
Winner and NEW ECW Champ – Christian via Unprettier
Jeremy Thomas: So apparently, the Boss is none too happy with Mr. Swagger regarding his Pay-Per-View match with Finlay at No Way Out. He’s had a pretty lackluster title reign, and I’m thinking that it’s probably time to make a change and put the title on someone new. Christian’s the IWC darling in ECW, and while that could hurt him as much as it helps him, I do see this one changing hands. Swagger should have his moments here, but in the end I think that Christian gets a clean pin to bring the title home and help Vince justify signing Captain Charisma.
Winner: Christian (Pin via Killswitch; NEW ECW Champion)
Andy Clark: Christian was destined to win this match ever since Swagger didn’t make the WrestleMania card. While I’d much prefer a Swagger-Bourne feud for the title I think we’re probably in line for a Christian-Kozlov feud instead. The question now is raised which World Title is more important, the ECW or TNA?
Winner and NEW ECW Champion: Christian
Rob McNew: I’m really looking forward to this one after their hidden gem on ECW a couple months back. This could be a show stealer if it gets time, and its nice to see this one actually get a pretty high billing on this card. I’ll say Christian finally gets the big win and takes home the gold which will set up the rubber match next month.
Winner: NEW ECW Champion: Christian
Robert S. Leighty Jr: Swagger showed he could hang in his match with Cena on RAW. I kind of don’t want him dropping the strap at this time, but on the other hand, I want them to do something, anything with Christian. I’ll go with my gut and take Christian. The match should be pretty good considering the two men involved.
Winner and New ECW Champion: Christian
Mathew Sforcina: Vince doesn’t like Christian, but he’s soured on Swagger. Ergo, just maybe, if the moon is aligned just so…
Winner, and NEW ECW Champion: Christian (Killswitch X2)
Michael Weyer: The feud seemed pushed aside by Mania and up in the air who’d get it. Swagger is still pushed but it seems time Christian got back into the scene as well so a title change isn’t out of the picture. Still, it sounds like WWE might want to keep pushing the feud so I think Chrisitan wins by DQ to set up a rematch.
WINNER: Christian by DQ, Swagger retains
Michael Bauer: This match looks to me like it comes down to how the draft went. ECW lost Ricky Ortiz, Miz and Morrison and gained Kozlov, DH Smith, Ezekiel Jackson, Zack Ryder, and Hurricane Helms. Pretty much, they lost two “top” heels and gained Kozlov, who now is the top heel. Swagger with the belt has been great, but it is time for a change.
Winner: Christian
John Cena © vs Edge – Last Man Standing – World Heavyweight Championship
Stephen Randle: The only real question here is, are they still playing hot potato with the World titles? There have been nine, count ‘em, nine World title changes since Cyber Sunday, which I’d say is a lot for just about six months. Don’t believe me?
World Heavyweight Title: Batista (Cyber Sunday) -> Jericho (Raw) -> Cena (Survivor Series) -> Edge (No Way Out) -> Cena (WMXV)
WWE Title: Edge (Survivor Series) -> Jeff Hardy (Armageddon) -> Edge (Royal Rumble) -> Triple H (No Way Out)
If WWE doesn’t care about all the changes, then this is the night where CM Punk cashes in and brings the belt back to Smackdown, ready-made for a feud with Edge over the summer. If WWE thinks the belts have changed around too much, there is a real possibility that Smackdown might be without a World title for a while longer. And given what I said about the Punk-Kane match, I think we know where I’m leaning.
Winner: Ultimately, CM Punk
Julian Bond: I for one am should glad that they are playing up the long history between Cena and Edge. After seeing the guys wrestle each other TONS of times in the past, it’s good to make it seem fresh again. The company has been horribly downplaying the fact that Smackdown is currently without any World champions due to Cena being on Raw. So I strongly believe that Edge will barely win the belt here (through shady means of course)…ONLY to have new Smackdown star CM Punk come on in and perfectly cash the briefcase to win the title himself. Even if Punk doesn’t win, I’m pretty sure that he will be cashing in here.
Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: Edge…followed by CM Punk cashing in Money In The Bank briefcase
Dan Torkel: Edge is a Smackdown guy, Cena is a Raw guy. If Cena wins SD has NO major title. Plus, the stip says Cena doesn’t have to get pinned.
Winner and NEW World Champion – Edge
Jeremy Thomas: This is simple math. We have two World Titles, and two big brands. One of those brands isn’t host to a world title, and only one person from that particular brand is in a title match. Thus, Cena’s going down here. Now, this could play out one of two ways; Cena could beat Edge only to fall prey to CM Punk cashing in his Money in the Bank shot, or Edge could beat Cena. The first scenario will most likely end up with a heel turn on Punk. Since the Blue Brand is moderately weak on faces, that leaves the more likely option here which is Edge taking down SuperCena in a nice, long, violent brawl.
Winner: Edge (Ten Count Win; NEW World Heavyweight Champion)
Andy Clark: Most prosnosticators are picking Edge to win given Cena’s movie schedule (which is just a plain stupid idea on WWE’s part to voluntarily take your biggest draw off of TV to film a movie no one will watch) but I think Cena makes it until next month with the belt in tact. It would be silly to switch the title right back to Edge again, and Cena-Punk could be money in Chicago at Judgment Day.
Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena
Rob McNew: If it wasn’t for Smackdown not having a World Title booking 101 would tell you that Cena is winning after getting taken out on Monday. I still think he does, because Smackdown has one more shot with CM Punk. I think Cena retains the gold in this encounter setting up Punk vs. Cena in Chicago. It’s a replay of One Night Stand II with Allstate Arena playing the role of Hammerstein, and CM Punk playing the role of Rob Van Dam.
Winner: STILL World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena
Robert S. Leighty Jr: Edge has been involved in 6 PPV matches since November and each time a World Title has changed hands. At some point this streak has to end, and it might as well end now. These two were just made to feud and I could seriously watch them feud for years to come. This is kind of like the Sting/Vader feud where it seemingly never ends, and always have the option of bringing it back when needed. I say let Cena keep the title a little longer and build to Punk vs Cena at Judgment Day. People were pissed the way Punk cashed in like a heel last year, so let him go the RVD route and pick the date well in advance.
Winner and Still World Champ: John Cena
Mathew Sforcina: Cena wins, Vickie screams, Big Show damm near kills Edge, the end.
Winner, and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena (Sigh… Attitude Adjuster off ladder through stack of 4 tables)
Michael Weyer: I know some are sick but these guys are, seriously, almost Flair/Steamboat when it comes to epic wild battles. Course Cena wins but should be a good one still.
WINNER and STILL World Champion: John Cena
Michael Bauer: Ok, how many times does a Last Man Standing Match happen without a definitive winner? In the nine biggest WWE Last Man Standing Matches ever, two of them ended without a winner. I am willing to venture a guess that it will become three of ten. Let’s be honest here. John Cena is the champ, but Raw can not have two title holders for another month, it makes no sense. Edge is the ultimate opportunist, but for him to win here and be a nine time World Champion is a little nuts. But for the third scenario, there just feels something right about iut, no matter what a straight-edge manb dares to say.
Winner: No Contest (Both men don’t answer the ten) – CM Punk cashes in and is NEW World Champion!
Triple H ©, Shane McMahon, and Batista vs Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase – If Legacy Wins, Orton Wins The Title – WWE Championship
Stephen Randle: What a change nine years have brought. This match sucked when the challenging team was Undertaker, Kane, and The Rock at the height of wrestling’s popularity, what chance does it have now? At least there should be enough shenanigans to keep it from being as offensively boring as the Triple H-Orton one-on-one matches of 2009. Once again, the winner depends on if WWE has noticed that the World title has changed hands more often than any other belt in the organization (and TNA’s belts, as well) in the last year, but I can’t but feel that it’s all about The Game, and how you inflate his title count.
Winner: Randy Orton
Julian Bond: I had a deep gut feeling that HHH may retain the title at Mania’, but my logic kept saying that they really need to pull the trigger on Orton to give him the big win to hit the payoff of this almost 4 month storyline. Now with the stipulation of HHH losing the belt even if he isn’t pinned (which as history show, ALWAYS ends up happening), it’s pretty guaranteed that Orton will finally get the belt back here without even having to pin his nemesis to do so.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Randy Orton (more than likely pinning Shane McMahon)
Dan Torkel: Obviously Triple H doesn’t remember KOTR 2000 when he lost the WWE Title in a 6-man tag without getting pinned. This entire match is completely retarded, and if Orton wins the title here he is officially a joke. I think Batista scores the pin on one of Legacy and saves Triple H’s title thus keeping Orton around and making Batista want Triple H. This will be a Triple Threat for the title soon.
Winner: Triple H, Batista, Shane via Batista Bomb on Rhodes
Jeremy Thomas: Listen, I would LOVE to see Orton walk away champion here. I think it would be phenomenal, and I think it needs to happen. Unfortunately, the ECW and World Heavyweight Titles are changing hands on my scorecard and I don’t see the Boss letting all three belts change hands. It COULD very well happen, and now would be the time to do it, but I’m too skeptical to give this one a chance. This will likely end with Shane being out for the count due to some crazy spot that takes out one member of Priceless, and Batista brawling with the other on the outside. This will allow the Game to get the pinfall on Orton, probably with judicious use of Sledgie, to get the win and keep the title.
Winner: ‘H, Shane-O Mac & The Manimal (Pin following Pedigree; ‘H is STILL World Heavyweight Champion)
Andy Clark: This match would make so much more sense if Orton were the defending champion. I was going to pick Orton to win the title no questions asked but they’ve put Legacy over pretty strong this week which makes me second guess myself. I’m thinking Orton wins the title when DiBiase pins Shane after he is “accidentally” taken out by Batista. This can set up Triple H vs. Batista in a No. 1 Contender’s Match at Judgment Day leading to Orton finally getting his big win over Triple H inside Hell in a Cell at Extreme Rules.
Winner and NEW WWE Champion: Randy Orton (and Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes)
Rob McNew: As much as many of us are ready for it to end it is impossible for this feud to end in this match. There is no possible outcome that provides closure. If HHH retains he won’t pin Orton to do it which gives Orton ammo to demand a rematch (since he won the non-title on Monday). If Orton wins the belt then HHH obviously gets the automatic rematch. With that knowledge I don’t see the WWE giving Orton his big win in a six man tag team match. Rhodes or Dibiase eats the fall, and Orton gets one last shot at Judgment Day in a gimmick match of some kind. Hell in a Cell anyone?
Winner: Triple H, Shane McMahon, and Batista (Batista pins Rhodes-HHH STILL WWE Champion)
Robert S. Leighty Jr: HHH got his moment at WrestleMania, but now I think we get the ending that should have been at Mania: Randy Orton celebrating with the WWE Title. This match could see some chaotic fun, or it could be a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. Hopefully, Shane tries to kill himself for my pleasure. They can easily move to a Batista/Orton feud for the WWE Title to settle their score, or even keep HHH aroud by doing a Triple Threat at Backlash.
Winner and New WWE Champion: Randy Orton
Mathew Sforcina: You know what? This will be something really screwy whatever happens, be it DAVE turning heel or, instead, massive face miscommunication leading to…
Winner, and NEW WWE Champion: Randy Orton (Ted pins DAVE after misplaced Shane’O’Mac Elbow)
Michael Weyer: I really dislike stips like this but it should still be a good matchup. Shane can be good given the circumstances while Batista and HHH gel well and Legacy could use a push. With those odds, I see someone managing to screw HHH over to give Orton the big belt.
WINNERS: Legacy with NEW WWE Champion Randy Orton
Michael Bauer: Randy Orton better not win the title this way. If he does, I swear the Rated R Superstar will have to sue for gimmick infringement. This match will be as brutal as they come for a no DQ match and while I just have this odd feeling that somebody is going to turn, I almost feel like it needs to wait a month or two before it actually will happen.
Winner: Triple H and company
