WWE Backlash 2026 takes place this Saturday, May 9 in Tampa, and the latest betting odds are starting to paint a clear picture of how the night is expected to play out.
Roman Reigns originally opened at a staggering -3000 to retain the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu. The line drifted to -700 by Tuesday and now sits at -900 on MyBookie. The narrowing despite the gap suggests bettors are anticipating a non-clean finish, possibly a Solo Sikoa or Usos run-in DQ rather than a clean title change.
The Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker match is the lone genuine pick’em on the card, with both men priced at -120. Breakker returned at WrestleMania 42 to cost Rollins his match against GUNTHER, which on paper telegraphs a Breakker win, though Rollins is reportedly tracking toward a SummerSlam program with Reigns, which complicates the booking picture.
IYO SKY’s number against Asuka has shifted hard. SKY opened at -400 and has now moved up to -1000, with the Kairi Sane release gutting some of the storyline payoff but the market still expecting SKY to take the win.
CM Punk remains the heavy favorite at -200 to be Danhausen’s mystery tag partner against The Miz and Kit Wilson, given his history with the Very Nice, Very Evil character. John Cena at +2000 is notable since he is confirmed for Backlash, though he has stayed firm on his retirement.
The current odds on the major matches: Roman Reigns -900 vs. Jacob Fatu +500, Trick Williams -1000 vs. Sami Zayn +550, IYO SKY -1000 vs. Asuka +550, Seth Rollins -120 vs. Bron Breakker -120, and Danhausen and partner -5000 vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson +1200. The mystery partner odds list CM Punk at -200, Joe Hendry at +200, Mr. Iguana at +300, Jelly Roll at +400, Carmelo Hayes at +500, John Cena at +2000, and Stephen A. Smith at +5000.
