Predicting The Card For WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022

7. Finn Balor (c) vs. Austin Theory – United States Championship

Poor Finn Balor wasn’t on the WrestleMania card. I mean, he’s only a former NXT and Universal Champion, so of course they couldn’t find space for him. They needed to get Omos on the card after all.

It doesn’t feel like his United States Championship run is going to last very much longer, and it seems the person who is likely going to beat him for the belt is Vince McMahon’s adopted child, Austin Theory.

While Theory lost to Pat McAfee at WrestleMania, it still feels like Vince has bigger plans for Theory, and a midcard championship would seem to be the perfect way of getting him on his way to stardom.

Unfortunately there have been reports that Vince isn’t Finn Balor’s biggest fan, so if he does lose his belt soon, don’t expect him to move up the card or be positioned in a new and exciting feud.
