WWE Backlash 2026 Odds: Reigns vs Fatu, Danhausen mystery partner and more
WWE Backlash 2026 takes place this weekend (Saturday May 9), and the current betting odds for the show are starting to paint a pretty clear picture of what we can expect on the night.
Here are the current odds for Backlash, including Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu, Trick Williams vs Sami Zayn and Iyo Sky vs Asuka:
Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu Odds
Reigns originally opened at a staggering -3000 to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. By Tuesday, the line had drifted to -700, and MyBookie now lists him at -900. The Fatu money has moved despite the gap, which probably signals bettors expecting something like a Solo Sikoa or Usos run-in DQ finish rather than a clean title change.
| Match | Favorite | Underdog | Implied probability (favorite) |
|---|---|---|---|
| World Heavyweight Championship | Roman Reigns -900 | Jacob Fatu +500 | 90.0% |
| US Championship | Trick Williams -1000 | Sami Zayn +550 | 90.9% |
| Singles | Iyo Sky -1000 | Asuka +550 | 90.9% |
| Singles | Seth Rollins -120 | Bron Breakker -120 | ~52.4% |
| Tag | Danhausen & Partner -5000 | Miz & Kit Wilson +1200 | 98.0% |
Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker Oddss
Both men in this one sit at -120, so a true pick’em. Breakker returned at WrestleMania to cost Rollins his match against Gunther, which almost telegraphs Breakker going over here. But Rollins lost at Mania, has been fairly adrift since The Vision splintered, and there’s an expectation that Rollins might be facing Reigns at SummerSlam.
Iyo Sky vs Asuka Odds
Sky’s number has moved really hard in the last few days. She opened at -400 and has moved up to -1000. The Kairi Sane release gutted some of the storyline payoff here, but Sky is expected to take this one and the market reflects that.
Danhausen’s mystery partner odds
CM Punk is the heavy favorite to be Danhausen’s mystery partner following his Mania classic with Reigns and his history with the former Very Nice, Very Evil AEW star. Cena at +2000 is interesting as he will be at Backlash, but he is retired and seems intent on keeping it that way.
| Partner | Odds | Implied probability |
|---|---|---|
| CM Punk | -200 | 66.7% |
| Joe Hendry | +200 | 33.3% |
| Mr. Iguana | +300 | 25.0% |
| Jelly Roll | +400 | 20.0% |
| Carmelo Hayes | +500 | 16.7% |
| John Cena | +2000 | 4.8% |
| Stephen A. Smith | +5000 | 2.0% |
