Here is how I would book Backlash, with the bold names the ones going over. I still haven't gotten to watch SD from this week, so if some of my picks were obviously shown to be wrong on SD than that explains it.
WWE Title Match
Randy Orton vs HHH vs John Cena vs JBL
I would keep Orton's run going, allowing HHH to feud with him over the title a little while longer before taking it, I would allow Cena-JBL to branch out to their own feud after Backlash as Cena being away from the title, facing a guy who gets the most heat in the WWE would only help his standing with the crowd.
World Title Match
Undertaker vs Edge
Edge gets his customary rematch and loses to Taker. Taker is going to run with the title for a good long while IMO.
Grudge Match
Batista vs HBK
Batista, picks a fight with HBK, the man who ended his friends career. He ends up losing to HBK and viciously attacks him after the match, turning heel and jumping to RAW.
Intercontinental Title Match
Chris Jericho vs Mr. Kennedy
This could be the feud that Kennedy and the IC Title have been needing. This should go for a few months, in hopes that it gives the IC title it's credibility back.
US Title Match
MVP vs Matt Hardy
Matt should go over and put an end to the greatest feud of 2007. MVP should move on to bigger things, possibly a feud with Undertaker in a few months.
Tag Title Match
Cryme Time vs Holly/Rhodes
Yeah, I know the tag title means nothing, but the fans really love these guys and giving them the titles could inject some life into this division.
ECW Title Match
Kane vs Chavo Guerrero
As unexcited as I am about the potential challengers they can throw at Kane, I would have Kane go over and have Mark Henry come down and attack him after the match, to lead up to them feuding.
Battle of the Giants
Big Show vs Khali
Give Big Show the strong victory, destroying Khali after a decent back and forth exchange. Big Show than moves onto a feud with Taker for a few monthes, before Taker moves on to MVP.
I would give CM Punk a backstage segment, teasing how with all three championships on the line tonight, none of them are safe since he can cash in his title opportunity any time he wants.
