WWE Backlash 2026 Betting Odds Revealed

The new betting odds for the WWE Backlash 2026 pay-per-view have been released.

There are five matches on the card for Saturday's show, set to take place at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. The event will be WWE's first pay-per-view show since WrestleMania 42.

Saturday's headliner is Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu in a singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns became the new champion when he defeated CM Punk in the main event of WrestleMania 42.

At BetOnline, Reigns is a massive -3000 favorite to defeat Fatu, who comes in as a +800 underdog. Reigns rarely loses singles matches, so as the odds show, it would be a real stunner if Fatu emerged victorious.

Danhausen and his mystery partner (to be revealed) will face The Miz and Kit Wilson in a tag team match. Danhausen and the unknown partner are giant -5000 favorites, with Miz and Wilson listed at +1200 underdogs.

Iyo Sky is a -1000 favorite to defeat Asuka in their singles match. As for Asuka, she is a +550 underdog. Sami Zayn is a +550 underdog to defeat Trick Williams, a -1000 favorite, for the Intercontinental Championship in their WrestleMania rematch.

Lastly, Seth Rollins is a slight -110 underdog in his singles match against Bron Breakker, a small -130 favorite.

Backlash Is WWE's WWE Premium Live Event Since the Large Wave of Budget Cuts

Since WrestleMania 42 concluded, WWE has released nearly 30 superstars from their contracts. That included The New Day, the entire Wyatt Sicks stable, Apollo Crews, Zelina Vega, Aleister Black and The Motor City Machine guns.

So, there is some pressure on WWE to put together a quality show after releasing so many fan favorites, and after drawing mixed reviews for WrestleMania 42 weekend.
