I really am hoping they continue to have Orton go over as champion to build him more, so when Punk cashes the MITB shot on him itll mean more when he wins. If that is infact the plan. ORTON will actually be retaining at BACKLASH. The reason I say this is because in a commercial for MONDAY NIGHT RAW on May 5th in TORONTO at the Air Canada Centre, they mentioned that the main event for the night will be the WWE CHAMPION Randy Orton vs. Y2J. So there you go.

I think Orton has a good chance of losing.
Everybody expected him to lose at Wrestlemania and he won, now everybody expects him to win; He'll probably lose.

Backlash seem awful match card.
If I was in charge, I would make the match card like as that:-
World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Edge (Edgeheads banned for the ringside)
Big Show vs. Umaga
United States Champion MVP vs. CM Punk
Texas Bullrope Match for WWE Championship Randy Orton vs. John Bradshaw Layfield
Steel Cage Match for the ECW Champion Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero
Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels
Tag Team Champions John Morrison & The Miz vs. Jesse & Festus
Women's Champion Mickie James Vs. Victoria
What about you?

I'm bored so...Predictions:
MVP vs. Matt Hardy: This was a great rivalry at one point, but now it just kind of feels like a chore. They need to get this over with ASAP. It'd probably make the most sense for Hardy to win, and have MVP move on to a World Title feud with Undertaker( imagine him talking about winning gold at Judgment Day 2 years in a row..). But I see this ending in a screwy finish, with either MVP getting counted out or Hardy getting too rough for the DQ, a la Cena at Unforgiven 2007. Then Hardy takes the belt at Judgment Day, " the one year anniversary", probably in a 2/3 Falls Match like last year.. Prediction: MVP retains by DQ..
Big Show vs. Khali: Pretty much the worst match on the card. Not only is it going to suck, but it's predictable. No matter what, Big Show is going over in this feud. With that said, I could see this ending in a no-contest, just to give Show more buildup for his inevitable World Title match. But with Khali going back to India for a while, this should end in a clean Show victory. Prediction: Big Show after two chokeslams
Divas Tag Match: No buildup at all, this match is just not interesting. Besides, didn't we see this exact same match at Survivor Series last year? Or close to it... Prediction: Face Team after Michelle McCool upsets Beth Phoenix
Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero: This match has had decent buildup but I think everybody knows Chavo has no chance of winning the title. Could be a good match or a disaster, really. Kane will win, then go on to feud with Bam Neely and Mike Knox over the next few months...aka ECW is really going to suck. Only way they could salvage the next few months is by having Kane vs. Shelton or Kane vs. Edge. Just have a simple buildup- Edge can't beat Taker so he goes after his brother and the only title he's never held. Prediction: Kane via chokeslam immediately after no-selling the Frog Splash
HBK vs. Batista; Jericho as Ref: The first week of buildup was really good for this match, but when the 2nd & 3rd week went exactly like the 1st, it quickly got stale. Probably the most unpredictable match on the card, though. HBK definitely needs the win more, to keep his WrestleMania momentum going. Obviously the real question here is how Jericho is going to get involved. They could do the cliched " One man accidently hits the ref, so the ref screws him" shtick( obviously for a Batista win after Y2J gets hit with SCM). However neither of these guys do many jobs, so I think Jericho was just thrown in here because both Batista & HBK have too big of egos to get pinned cleanly. Prediction: No-Contest after Jericho goes full heel and lays them both out
Undertaker vs. Edge: Much like Kane/Chavo, WWE hasn't done a good job at convincing you that the belt could actually change hands here. The only way I could see WWE swerving us is by having Edge win and promptly lose the belt back to Taker inside Hell in a Cell( maybe at ONS after getting himself DQ'ed at Judgment Day). But I doubt this will happen, so I see Taker winning cleanly. I do see a HIAC match between these two happening sometime this year, though. Prediction: Undertaker cleanly via Tombstone Piledriver
Fatal 4 Way WWE Title Match: Not gonna lie, I'm 10000x more excited for this match after they added the Elimination Rules. I originally said that HHH( and Cena to a lesser extent) had no chance of winning the belt, because of the PPV( aka time of year) and the lack of buildup. Adding the elimination rules seems to gives them a slightly better chance, if only because it's not often you see either of them get pinned, no less both in the same match. But with that said, the chances of either of them winning are still slim. This PPV simply isn't big enough for HHH to take back the title. Cena's the only one with NO chance at all because a) he's filming a movie and b) WWE is obviously building toward an eventual Triple H victory and so until he gets the strap, no other face will hold the belt.
An interesting note is that WWE hasn't told us ( I believe) whether or not there are DQ's in this match. In normal Fatal 4 Way Matches there aren't, because then there wouldn't be a clear-cut winner. But here there would end up being a single winner, anyways.
I've already gone over why HHH & Cena won't win, so this leaves JBL & Orton. They've built up Orton's reign nicely and they could stretch this out longer. I always think back to Orton's New year's promo where he said he'd walk out of 2008 still champion. But at the same time, how many people are there left for Orton to face? If he wins, we'd have seen him get by Cena, HHH, JBL, Jericho, HBK, Jeff Hardy...there aren't many other names left to face, if any. Of course the draft is coming up however, and that could provide some fresh opponents for Orton..
This could go either way really, and it's probably the homer in me making the following prediction. WWE swerved everybody at Wrestlemania by having Orton win, and now everybody seems to think he'll retain. I think WWE will swerve everybody again by having JBL, by far the " smallest" star of the four, pull off the win and hold the belt until SummerSlam, where Triple H takes it. Prediction: - Cena is eliminated rather early, after an RKO and a Clothesline from Hell - HHH gets DQ'ed for laying out both Orton & JBL with the sledgehammer - JBL pins Orton to become new WWE Champion. JBL shoves off an RKO and lands the Clothesline From Hell for the victory
That or HHH eliminates Orton, so Randy helps JBL win. This is probably more likely..

I HOPE Orton retains. But im not sure. Why would they change it to an elimination match if the plan was for Orton to win? It seems if that was the plan then theyd want to keep it a Fatal Fourway, so Orton could pick-up a quick win like at WM

This is how I would book Backlash:
Kane def. Chavo Guerrero in 7:19 to retain the ECW Title after booting Chavo's bodyguard off the apron and then hitting a chokeslam.
Team Beth def. Team Mickie in 6:28 after Beth hits Maria with a Fisherman Suplex.
MVP def. Matt Hardy in 12:40 to retain the U.S. Championship after a low blow followed by the Playmaker.
Batista def. Shawn Michaels in 15:08 after Jericho hits HBK with a chair followed by Batista hitting the Batista Bomb for the pin. After the match Jericho continues to beat down HBK until he's left a bloody mess.
The Undertaker def. Edge in 16:02 to retain the World Heavyweight Championship after a Tombstone.
Big Show def. Great Khali in 4:22 when Show hits the best chokeslam he possibly can on Khali.
Randy Orton def. Triple H, John Cena, & JBL in 22:13 in a Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match to retain the WWE Championship. Order of Eliminations: JBL by Cena FUing him, Cena by HHH Pedigreeing him, followed immediatly by Orton RKOing HHH for the win.

I definitely think and hope Randy walks out of Baltimore, still the WWE Champion. I honestly can't see him losing it until Summerslam, to H.

Backlash looks decent. Didn't know the Four Way was elimination, that makes it much better.
