WWE Backlash 2017 Card - Everything We Know

Rumored Matches
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Dolph Ziggler
We know we're getting Nakamura's main roster debut and it seems pretty clear that Zigs is going to be the one to take the first loss from "The Artist Known As ..." WWE knew what they were doing putting these two together as Dolph --one of the best sellers of all time--will make Shinsuke look like a million bucks in the ring.
Baron Corbin vs Sami Zayn
Corbin was suspended for beating up Sami Zayn and a referee, but he'll be back in plenty of time to likely keep Sami Zayn out of the SmackDown win column. Many have suggested The Lone Wolf will be getting a slight makeover before a large push that is coming this year. We'll be interested to see if that stars upon his return to SD Live.
Naomi, Becky Lynch, Charlotte vs Carmella, Natalya, Tamina Snuka
WWE has done a great job of making the Blue Brand's women's division interesting by forming a faction between its lesser stars to take down it's big names. The new Welcoming Committee angle has also given Charlotte a reason to turn babyface and keep her out of the title picture long enough to give Naomi a little more credibility as champion. These could turn into several singles matches, but a six man tag seems to make the most sense at this point.
There's sure to be more than just 6 matches, so we'll keep you updated on all the WWE Backlash developments as they arise.
