WWE Backlash 2023 betting odds: Women’s champs heavy favorites in San Juan

Check out the latest WWE Backlash 2023 betting odds to see who people think will win in San Juan on May 6.

One of the stranger things that took place during the recent WWE Draft was Raw Women’s Champions Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley being sent to the opposite shows. That’s raised the possibility of a title swap, though one that might not be necessary if either loses Saturday night at Backlash — though the latest WWE Backlash betting odds show not many expect that to happen.

Belair and Ripley are heavy, heavy favorites over IYO SKY and Zelina Vega, respectively, Saturday night in San Juan. In fact Vega is currently +650 at Betfair, one of the bigger betting underdogs in a WWE title match in some time.

This is the place where we need to put our usual disclaimer: Betting on WWE matches seems silly to us since the outcomes are already known by some, and you’re wagering without that information. However, they are useful and fun barometers of what people believe will happen during upcoming matches, including those scheduled for Puerto Rico this weekend.

While none of the seven matches on the card is really a pick ’em, the closest one is the six-man tag team match pitting Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and Matt Riddle against the Bloodline, with the heel group sitting at just +120.

Let’s take a look at all of the WWE Backlash betting lines, converted into U.S.-style odds.

WWE Backlash 2023: Date, start time, match card

We get you set for the first WWE premium live event in Puerto Rico in nearly 20 years.

When WrestleMania is in the rear view mirror, it can only be time for the Backlash.

It makes sense that WWE follows its biggest event of every calendar year with a show that deals with its repercussions, and even though the company has moved away from branding it that way directly in 2023 — the show was actually called WrestleMania Backlash the last few years — there’s no question that the fingerprints of the Show of Shows are on this event as usual.

What’s new and exciting for this year is the locale: San Juan, Puerto Rico, which hasn’t hosted a WWE premium live event in 18 years. Music superstar Bad Bunny, one of Puerto Rico’s favorite sons, had been advertised as the host of the event, but as you’ll see below, he’s since abandoned that position in favor of a more active role, to say the least.

The card will also be boosted by some returning talent. Matt Riddle has been back on TV after missing several months due to a reported suspension (and entering rehab), and got thrown right into the fire. He’ll join tag team champs/best buddies Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to even the odds against the Bloodline side of The Usos and Solo Sikoa.

Speaking of the Bloodline, Roman Reigns looks to be sitting Backlash out, but that’s because he has someone else handling his top challenger. Cody Rhodes wanted a rematch for Reigns’ Undisputed WWE Universal Championship but instead got ambushed by Brock Lesnar on Raw. Those two men will now do battle in San Juan in an encounter that could serve as the main event.

The crowd is almost guaranteed to be super hot after not hosting an event of this magnitude for so long. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for Backlash.

2023 WWE Draft: 3 most head-scratching moves

A few things during the 2023 WWE Draft simply left us confused or disappointed.

The 2023 WWE Draft is in the books, with the high profile picks made on the most recent episodes of SmackDown and Raw, and supplemental selections announced during some of WWE’s ancillary programming.

While there was some intrigue, particularly around NXT call-ups and which wrestlers would end up on the opposite show from Roman Reigns, there were a number of selections that simply led one to go, “What?”

That doesn’t mean WWE can’t still make something interesting out of some of these decisions, but simply that in the immediate aftermath of the draft, they either seem silly or pointless.

Let’s take a look at three moves that left us confused for what’s coming after the new rosters go into effect on May 8.

WWE Raw results: Seth Rollins, Solo Sikoa match becomes a 7-person brawl

Also on tonight’s card are Jimmy Uso vs. Matt Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura on Miz TV.

Part of the Raw roster for May 8 and beyond is set. The rest of it will fall into place on tonight’s episode from Forth Worth, Texas.

Thanks to Night One of the 2023 WWE Draft, Raw has 24 wrestlers on its roster, including Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch and all of Imperium. But the other half of the WWE talent pool remains ready to be selected on Night Two, which just so happens to be tonight.

One of the big names yet to be chosen is Brock Lesnar. Not only is he generally not involved in the draft, getting to be a free agent who floats between brands, he’s also in the middle of a program with Rhodes. You’d think WWE would send them to the same brand, but it’s certainly not guaranteed since Lesnar and Rhodes will do battle at Backlash and the new rosters take effect on the following Raw.

(Note: Lesnar ended up as a free agent after all, see below.)

Two people who already know they’re going to be on Monday nights going forward are Shinsuke Nakamura and The Miz. Conveniently, we’ll see them interact tonight, as the King of Strong Style will be a guest on the A-Lister’s latest Miz TV segment.

There’s also an intriguing singles match that WWE announced this afternoon. Jimmy Uso still doesn’t know where he and Jey will be plying their trade, as The Usos are in tonight’s draft pool. But while the brothers are undoubtedly still stinging from their championship rematch loss to Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn — not to mention their failure in a bout they dedicated to the Tribal Chief — Jimmy won’t have time to reflect tonight as he’s up against Matt Riddle.

WWE Raw results from Fort Worth:

(click here for WWE Draft picks for each round tonight and click on any match with a link for more details)

  • Triple H comes out to welcome everyone to Raw and to Night Two of the WWE Draft; oh, and Brock Lesnar isn’t eligible to be drafted after all, having renegotiated his status as a free agent earlier today
  • “If he’s upset with me now, he’s really not going to like this one.” Paul Heyman says The Usos’ draft fate is TBD, but while addressing the “jokes” in the Raw locker room, he says the word “freakin'” a few too many times and accidentally summons Seth Rollins, who issues his own spoiler about winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions; that brings out Solo Sikoa, who will face Rollins later tonight
  • Adam Pearce asks Cody Rhodes not to start up any chaos with Brock Lesnar but gets no promises
  • Bayley and Dakota Kai def. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez by pinfall
  • Booker T (Raw) and wife Sharmell (SmackDown) head out to deliver the next round of draft picks

  • The Bad Bunny-Damian Priest hype video is played again

  • Matt Riddle is excited that he got drafted to the same show as the tag team champions so they can hang out all the time, but Kevin Owens is not as psyched about that
  • Matt Riddle def. Jimmy Uso by pinfall
  • Eric Bischoff (Raw) and Rob Van Dam (SmackDown) head out to make the next round of WWE Draft picks

  • Omos def. local talent in a quick squash match

  • Xavier Woods say The New Day will inject a little more energy back into Monday nights
  • Seth Rollins vs. Solo Sikoa ends in a DQ as the Usos invade the ring, quickly followed by a brawl that involves Owens, Zayn and Riddle that ends the show

WWE Raw results: Bad Bunny talks softly, carries a big (kendo) stick

A new World Heavyweight Championship was also unveiled tonight.

When you’re Bad Bunny, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Try your hand at WWE? Of course. Get involved in a dramatic WrestleMania match between father and son? Sure, if you want. It’s just that there might be consequences even for the biggest music star in the world if you do that, some of which might still be playing out on this week’s episode of WWE Raw from the greater Chicago area.

See, The Judgment Day wasn’t too crazy about Bunny ensuring Dominik Mysterio didn’t cheat to beat his dad in L.A., and was even less enthused about him smacking the taste out of Dom’s mouth a few weeks later. That led to Damian Priest putting the music megastar through an announce table, which naturally kept him out of commission for a bit.

He’s back tonight, however, and probably looking for some payback against old “friend” Priest. And he, meanwhile, has a match against Rey Mysterio. That, friends, is what we call synergy. Could all these elements break out into a big Judgment Day vs. LWO scuffle with Bad Bunny on the side of the LWO? That seems likely.

Also of interest for tonight, Triple H is scheduled to make some sort of announcement. The buzz is that it’s about a title — either a new physical belt of some sort or an honest to goodness change to a championship of some sort. Or it could be something else altogether, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

WWE Raw results from Chicago:

(click on any match or segment with a link for more details)

  • The Bloodline (The Usos and Solo Sikoa) def. The LWO (Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde) by pinfall
  • Damage CTRL tells Bianca Belair she can pick any two partners she wants to take them on tonight, and she’s down with that
  • “You made your choice … and like it or not, I made my choice too.” Sami Zayn drops in on Jey Uso and questions what will happen to Jey if The Usos fail to get the tag team titles back after dedicating the match to the Tribal Chief, but Jey tells Sami not to worry about him any more

  • Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Damage CTRL
  • “Are you lazy and don’t want to work, or are you scared?” Austin Theory mocks the idea of the new title going to someone besides him while he has two powerful challengers at Backlash; Bobby Lashley joins him in the ring and wonders why Theory doesn’t welcome every opportunity to fight for the U.S. title …
  • … but Bronson Reed joins them as well when they start to brawl, and he’s the one left standing at the end

  • Rey Mysterio def. Damian Priest by DQ when Priest uses a chair on him, and Bad Bunny arrives to attack Priest with a kendo stick … and reveal that they’ll be facing off in a Street Fight at Backlash

WWE Raw results: Brock laughs, Trish confesses, and a bargain breaks down

Find out what happened as The Judgment Day battled Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in the main event.

When you’re a WWE legend, sometimes you just do whatever you want and you don’t have to gives your reasons why until after the fact. That’s an idea that’s relevant to two of the big subplots for tonight’s episode of WWE Raw from North Little Rock.

First, there’s Brock Lesnar. Cody Rhodes actually thought he was going to tag up to face the Bloodline together, and why not? Lesnar certainly has no love for Roman Reigns, and besides, this was Cowboy Brock. The guy with the big hat and the bigger smile. Surely, Cody could trust him.

As it turned out, not so much. Rhodes shifted naturally from disappointment (and pain) to seeking some payback, and challenged Lesnar to a match at Backlash. Tonight should give us an inkling about whether he’s going to accept.

It was ever so slightly less shocking when Trish Stratus assaulted Becky Lynch after they lost the tag team titles together — or rather, Stratus lost the belts that didn’t even belong to her — because, well, Trish has done this before. But whether The Man really thought Stratus was her ride or die or not, what’s done is done, and now Trish is supposedly going to tell the WWE Universe why she did what she did.

Oh, and Becky says she won’t be there, but we shall see.

Also on tap for tonight, Austin Theory takes on Bobby Lashley in a battle of old enemies, and The Miz faces Seth Rollins as he continues to try to wash the memory of losing to Snoop Dogg away. Sorry, Miz, not going to happen as long as video exists.

You can catch all this and more starting at 8 p.m. ET on USA, when we’ll also be watching and updating this post with live WWE Raw results as they happen. See you then.

WrestleMania 39 results, night 2: Cody Rhodes’ story remains unfinished in dramatic main event

Full WWE WrestleMania 39 night 2 results, including the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Night 1 of WrestleMania 39 had its share of thrills and emotional moments, particularly in championship victories by Rhea Ripley and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Now it’s time to see what WWE can do for an encore.

The main event of night 2 is one that’s been locked in since January, when Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble. He’s been laser focused on winning the world championship his legendary father never did since his return to WWE last year, flawlessly playing the role of the company’s top babyface for months.

Standing in his way is only the man who’s had an iron grip on both of the WWE men’s world titles for some time, Roman Reigns. While Reigns has let Paul Heyman do much of the talking during the run-up to WrestleMania 39, he remains the unquestioned top dog of the company, and there will be intense interest to see if he leaves SoFi Stadium with gold still in his possession.

Another champion looking to avoid being dethroned is Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. She’ll be competing against a foe she knows well in Asuka … or at least one she did know well, as Asuka has acted increasingly unpredictable in recent weeks, and figures to be Belair’s stiffest test since she won her title at WrestleMania last year.

Two other matches on the night 2 card figure to up the ante on pure spectacle. The first bout of the night is expected to be the one pitting Brock Lesnar against an impossibly large opponent, the Nigerian Giant Omos. And Edge may feel confident going into a Hell in a Cell match given all he’s done in his legendary career, but he’s facing a rarely seen (and very successful) foe in “The Demon” persona of Finn Balor.

Wrestling Junkie will be in the house again at SoFi Stadium recapping all the action as WrestleMania 39 reaches its crescendo. You can watch starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Peacock in the U.S., or on WWE Network internationally. But if you’re not able to watch, check this post for results and links to full match details all throughout the night.

WrestleMania 39 results: Bianca Belair is pushed to the limit but retains against Asuka

Get all the details on the WWE Raw Women’s Championship match between Asuka and Bianca Belair on night 2 of WrestleMania 39.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — After Asuka was accompanied by what looked like multiple versions of herself, Bianca Belair came out after a performance by the Divas of Compton dance team. Both women get strong crowd reactions when they are introduced, but the cheers are louder for the champ.

Belair wastes no time backing Asuka into a corner and burying shoulders in her midsection. She drops right hands on her challenger and hits a suplex, but Asuka wriggles free and kicks Bianca in the face.

Asuka’s strikes knock Belair down, followed by a bulldog and a sliding knee for a near fall. Bianca backflips out of trouble and slams Asuka to the met to earn her own two count.

When Belair goes for her backflip splash, Asuka catches her and starts working submissions. She eventually gets the Asuka Lock applied but can’t get it completely locked in as Bianca retreats to the floor.

They battle by the announce table, with Asuka looking for an armbar on the floor. Belair lifts her opponent up and executes a sitout powerbomb on the floor, impressing fans while they marvel at the impact. Bianca covers back in the ring but only gets two again.

Bianca’s corner charge slams her into the post, and Asuka quickly covers for another near fall. The challenger rolls through and looks for an ankle lock, yet Belair’s power allows her to stand for a belly to back suplex.

For a second time, Belair’s attempts to flip off the ropes gets her caught in a submission hold. Asuka knocks Bianca down with a missile dropkick, forcing Belair into another kickout.

Repeated kicks to the face drop Belair again, and they fight to the apron where Asuka kicks the champ repeatedly in the chest. Bianca has enough and hits a big right hand, but a dropkick drives her back into the post.

Now it’s Asuka’s turn to hit the post, allowing Belair to drag her up to the second rope. A big superplex follows, but the cover still isn’t enough for  pinfall.

From their knees to their feet, both women keep firing right hands. Belair uses a nifty reversal to try for a pin, and Asuka replies in kind before a kick to the head allows her to score another near fall.

Dueling chants break out among the fans at SoFi Stadium. Belair hits a blockbuster and finally lands her handspring moonsault, showing some dismay when it only leads to another two count.

A big shoulder tackle by Belair leaves both women on the mat. Bianca is up first and stomps Asuka before going up top. The Empress of Tomorrow is quick to find her there, and ends up hauling the champ down by her hair for a Codebreaker and another two.

Needing a way to get the momentum back, Belair drops Asuka face first on the top turnbuckle. She wants a KOD to follow, but Asuka grabs the top rope. Asuka misses with the blue mist, but she pulls off a beautiful counter to the KOD and gets an armbar locked in.

Bianca keeps fighting, finally elevating Asuka and dropping her down with a KOD to remain Raw Women’s Champion.

WrestleMania 39: Start time, matches, predictions, how to watch

WrestleMania 39 is less than a week away, and we get you set to watch all of the action in Los Angeles.

For pro wrestling fans, there’s no better time of year than WrestleMania. Even people who wouldn’t call WWE their favorite variety of the art form get excited for the company’s biggest show of the year, descending on whatever city is hosting.

In this case of WrestleMania 39, it’s Los Angeles, where SoFi Stadium will play host to two nights of the best WWE has to offer. Historically, that’s often meant a number of older stars who may only wrestle once or twice a year.

Not so much this time, where with the exception of John Cena (and yes, including him in that category makes you wonder where time has gone) and a couple of all-time women’s division greats, the focus is very much on the talent and stories WWE has around on a regular basis.

The headlining attraction will see Cody Rhodes attempt to knock Roman Reigns off his perch atop WWE. The emotional high point of the event may come when Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens take on The Usos for their tag team titles in the culmination of one of wrestling’s grandest longform narratives. And there are plenty of other title bouts and matches with compelling hooks up and down the card.

Will that be enough to make it feel special if WWE plays it pretty straightforward throughout? The guess is that the answer will be yes, as the venue and crowd will ensure the event feels larger than life. Here’s a rundown on everything you need to know as WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.

WWE WrestleMania 39

  • Date: April 1-2, 2023
  • Location: SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles
  • Start time: 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT both nights
  • How to watch: On Peacock in the U.S., and on WWE Network in the rest of the world
  • Matches announced: 13

WWE Raw results: Cody, Roman try to one-up each other mentally

Live WWE Raw results for March 20, 2023 from St. Louis, with Roman Reigns and Logan Paul both scheduled to appear.

It’s not easy to get one over mentally on Seth Rollins. The Visionary is usually the one living rent free in people’s heads, but Logan Paul seems to have flipped the script on Rollins, and will attempt to ensure that remains the case tonight on WWE Raw in one of the very best pro wrestling markets, St. Louis.

Paul is scheduled to do a live version of “Impaulsive TV” on Raw, which hopefully will include Logan, Mike and George because they deserve to be on TV too. Yet Rollins is unlikely to just hang back and let this all go down without getting his say — or better yet from Seth’s perspective, getting his hands on the influencer.

Speaking of not just letting things go without being personally involved, Roman Reigns has watched from afar (we assume somewhere on the Island of Relevancy) as Cody Rhodes has stirred up even more trouble for the Bloodline by encouraging Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to get past their differences and join forces.

With WrestleMania now less than two weeks away, the Tribal Chief can’t just let things play out when they’re definitely not looking up for his family, so he’ll be on Raw this week to speak on the state of current events.

Last but not least, Austin Theory has his sights set on showing John Cena he’s the past at WrestleMania. But because he can’t help himself, he decided to pick some fights along the way, most recently with the Street Profits. Theory beat Angelo Dawkins last week, but he’ll have to contend with an angry Montez Ford this Monday. And he might not like Tez when he’s angry.

WWE Raw results in 90 seconds:

  • Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are back on the same page, but The Usos never left theirs, and the two duos agree to settle things at WrestleMania
  • Austin Theory def. Montez Ford by pinfall
  • Roman Reigns tells The Usos the night’s not off to the best start, and he hopes Jimmy is right about taking care of Sami and KO at WrestleMania … oh, and he wants Jey to stay after dismissing everyone else
  • Roman asks Jey flat out if he’s Bloodline, and Jey says he is, to which Reigns says, “I hope so. That’s all I needed to hear.” … and “I love you”
  • Chelsea Green asks Adam Pearce if it’s OK for Piper Niven to be her tag team partner since Carmella is unavailable, and demands that she be put in the tag team showcase at WrestleMania
  • A video package promotes the Brock Lesnar-Omos Wrestlemania match, focusing on stats that emphasize how large both men are
  • Omos def. Mustafa Ali by pinfall
  • The Miz stops Logan Paul in the hallway and gets shot down as the guest for “Impaulsive TV”

  • Edge cuts a dimly lit promo warning Finn Balor what will happen inside Hell in a Cell, even quoting scripture and invites Finn to bring the demon to meet the devil at WrestleMania
  • Rhea Ripley gets some promo time to deliver another message to Charlotte Flair, but Bayley and Damage CTRL want to show her Raw is their show
  • Rhea Ripley def. Bayley by pinfall as Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus and Lita neutralize Damage CTRL
  • Chad Gable finds Otis getting a manicure and a facial but is able to persuade him to come out and back him for his match with Ricochet
  • Ricochet def. Chad Gable by pinfall
  • Bianca Belair and Asuka def. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven by pinfall
