WWE Title Match (Steel Cage)
HHH (C) vs. Randy Orton
A lot of matches on this card are hard to predict. This is one of them. Just because I see HHH's reign lasting more than a month, I'll take him.
Winner: HHH
World Heavyweight Title
Edge vs. Undertaker
I'm not sure why they took the title off of Taker. Maybe to get him more title reigns? I don't know, I'll pick him anyway.
Winner: Undertaker
WWE Tag Team Titles
Miz & Morrison (C) vs. CM Punk & Kane
I originally picked Punk and Kane to win the titles, but I think Morrison and Miz will retain by DQ or shenanigans.
Winners: Miz & Morrison
WWE Women's Title
Mickie James (C) vs. Melina vs. Beth Phoenix
Mickie pins Melina. Nuff said.
Winner: James
Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho
Hopefully this is almost as good as their Mania XIX match. Too close to call, so I'll pick Shawn because he always wins these matches.
Winner: HBK
John Cena vs. JBL
JBL is worthless, Cena hasn't won in a while on PPV, Cena goes over.
Winner: Cena
Big SHow vs. Mark Henry
Apparently this has been added to the show...I'm not sure why...Since Henry only wins squashes, I'll go with Show.
Winner: Big Show

Backlash 2008 Review
The end of an era?
Matt Hardy defeated Montel Vontavious Porter to win the WWE United States Championship.
Hardy pinned Porter after a Twist of Fate.
***
Good enough for what it was. I see a rematch at Judgment Day.
Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero (w/Bam Neely) to retain the ECW Championship.
Kane pinned Guerrero after a chokeslam.
*1/2
Really slow and methodical. Once Chavo hurt Kane's leg on Smackdown I knew it was going to be like this.
Big Show defeated The Great Khali
Big Show pinned Khali after a chokeslam.
*
Better than I thought it would be I guess.
Shawn Michaels defeated Batista (w/Chris Jericho as Special Guest Referee)
Michaels pinned Batista after Sweet Chin Music.
***
This was fun but I think they could have done a little better.
Beth Phoenix, Melina, Jillian Hall, Layla, Victoria and Natalya defeated Mickie James, Maria, Ashley, Michelle McCool, Cherry and Kelly Kelly in a 12-Diva Tag Team match
Phoenix pinned Ashley after a fisherman suplex.
*1/2
Wasn't expecting much from this and my that rating, I got it.
The Undertaker defeated Edge to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
Undertaker forced Edge to submit with the gogoplata.
****
I actually liked this more than their Mania match.
Triple H defeated Randy Orton (c), John Cena, and John "Bradshaw" Layfield in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination match to win the WWE Championship
Cena forced Layfield to submit with the STFU.
Orton pinned Cena after a punt to the head.
Triple H pinned Orton after a Pedigree to win the title.
***3/4
This match was also better than their Mania match. I thought The "Era of Orton" would last a little bit longer, but what ya gonna do?
~Overall this was the worst PPV of the year for WWE. That being said it was still pretty solid.
