I have a funny feeling Ambrose is going to lose his title at Backlash.

New match added:

During "Talking Smack" after Smackdown Libe on the WWE NEtwork, 5th Sep, 2016, it was announced by Shane McMahon that due to The Usos' attack on American Alpha, they have been pulled from the Smackdown Tag Team championship tournament.

The Usos will face The Hype Bros, with the winners going on to face Heath Slater and Rhyno later on at Backlash to crown the first champions.

Only 6 matches? They will have to be adding matches on the night.

Randy Orton not medically cleared for Backlash.

Several sources have noted that Randy Orton will not be able to compete at tonight’s WWE Backlash PPV. Orton was scheduled to face Bray Wyatt in one of the top matches on the card. The issue appears to be concussion-related, which would mean Orton has not passed an Impact test.

There is no word yet on how WWE will handle the situation in terms of its storylines, although WWE are still promoting the match. This indicates WWE might run an injury angle this afternoon or even during the show to explain the situation.

Randy Orton returned to WWE in late July after missing 9 months due to shoulder surgery. He’s wrestled only a handful of matches since then, most recently at SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar.

There is a great chance that the scheduled rematch between Orton and Lesnar on 24th September in Chicago will not take place as well, unless Orton is cleared before then. As of now, that bout is still up in the air.

Orton is backstage at the Backlash PPV in Richmond, Virginia.
