WWE’s biggest event of the year – WrestleMania (38) just concluded earlier this month. Fans are looking forward to WrestleMania Backlash where a few intriguing matches have already been compiled.
In this article, we are going to take a look at the matches that have been already announced for WWE’s upcoming pay-per-view – WrestleMania Backlash. Also, we would be looking at a couple of matches that might be announced on the card in the coming weeks.
This was arguably the best match of this year’s WrestleMania. The Bianca Belair versus Becky Lynch match is also right up there. Rhodes and Rollins are wonderfully gifted athletes with brilliant knowledge of the sport. At WrestleMania, Cody Rhodes was the surprise opponent for Seth Rollins. Therefore, there wasn’t any build-up yet they produced a spectacular match which Cody won eventually.
This time, however, they have a few weeks in hand to build up to another classic at WrestleMania Backlash. This week on RAW, Rhodes was the special guest on The Miz TV and he said he had no problems with Rollins. The American Nightmare also stated that he was willing to give Rollins a rematch anytime.
Later in the night, Cody defeated The Miz in a one-on-one match. After the bout ended, Rollins challenged Cody to a rematch which the latter accepted in a jiffy.
Charlotte Flair stole a victory from Ronda Rousey on the Night 1 of WrestleMania 38. The champion went for the Figure 8 but Ronda pushed her as the Queen collided with the referee, taking him out.
Ronda made Charlotte tap out to the armbar but the referee missed it as he was still down on the mat. As Ronda tried to get the referee back to consciousness, Charlotte took advantage landing a big boot to secure the victory.
Last week on SmackDown, an irate Rousey came out to the ring and challenged Flair to an “I Quit” match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship and it was later made official.
There are a few matches likely to be included in the card for WrestleMania Backlash. We will take a look at them in the following part.
Bianca Belair won the RAW Women’s Championship from Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 38. On the RAW after WrestleMania, she said she was ready to defend her title against anyone on the roster.
This week on RAW, she faced Queen Zelina in a match that the EST won with relative ease. After the match, Sonya Deville, who portrays an onscreen authority figure, came to the ring with a contract in hand. She told Bianca that she had a hard time finding her next opponent as there are so many talented women on the RAW roster. Deville even mentioned a few names like Doudrop, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, and more.
Finally, Deville said that Bianca’s next opponent is a generational talent and pointed to the stage area. As the champion took her eyes off Deville, the former Absolution member laid her out with a blindsided attack. Later, she announced that she is the next challenger for Bianca’s title. WWE is yet to announce a specific date for the match as yet but it’s expected to take place at WrestleMania Backlash.
Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania to become the Undisputed Unified Champion. Last week on SmackDown he laid out the next target for The Bloodline. He demanded The Usos to go to RAW and capture the RAW Tag Team Championships from RK-Bro and unify the RAW and SmackDown Tag Titles in the process. The Usos are SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
This week on RAW, The Usos appeared following the orders of the Head of the Table. They challenged RK-Bro to a Title Unification match. However, The Street Profits interrupted accusing The Usos of cutting the line. Randy Orton pitched the idea of The Street Profits taking on The Usos in the main event of RAW and the match was made official.
The Usos won the scintillating match and later on attacked Orton and finished the show holding both the RAW and SmackDown Tag titles above their shoulders.
RK-Bro versus The Usos hasn’t been confirmed as yet. However, it is almost certain to take place at WrestleMania Backlash.
WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022 is currently scheduled to be taking place on Sunday 8th May 2022 from the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Pre Show will be starting at 7 PM EST on Sunday 8th May and the Main Show will be starting at 8 PM EST.
Without a doubt, WWE would be looking to make their upcoming PPV a grand one with numerous exciting matches.
