The Backlash Premium Live Event is almost upon us and WWE has booked a solid lineup of matches that will definitely keep fans entertained from start to finish, as the show promises to be a memorable one.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
Roman Reigns will put his WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Jacob Fatu. Fatu has shown the Tribal Chief he’s more than determined to dethrone Reigns, even going so far as to use the Tongan Death Grip. The match is expected to be a hard-hitting one, so we’ll have to see who will win in the end.
United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Sami Zayn
Trick Williams will defend his WWE United States Championship against Sami Zayn. Zayn dropped the title to Williams at WrestleMania 42 but Zayn will stop at nothing to get it back. So it remains to be seen whether Zayn will reclaim his title once and for all.
Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker
Seth Rollins will go one-on-one against Bron Breakker at Backlash. This comes after Breakker returned at WrestleMania 42 and attacked Rollins, costing him his match against GUNTHER. There’s plenty of history and bad blood between the two, so fans are waiting to see who will walk away as the winner when the dust settles.
Other Matches
IYO SKY will square off against Asuka in singles action, and this match is a long time coming. After several months of bitterness, it will all come to a head at Backlash. Finally, Danhausen and a mystery partner will team up to square off against The Miz and Kit Wilson in tag team action.
