Grudge Match Set For WWE Backlash

A new match has been announced for the upcoming WWE Backlash PPV.

During Friday’s episode of SmackDown on FOX, WWE confirmed that Sheamus would battle Jeff Hardy at this show. The two stars have been feuding for several weeks now to lead to this contest.

The two stars were part of the tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion but Hardy was removed when he was featured in a hit & run angle that also involved Elias while Sheamus lost in the semi-finals to Daniel Bryan. Both the segment and match took place last week on SmackDown.

WWE presents the Backlash pay-per-view event on Sunday, June 14, 2020 in Orlando, Florida at the WWE Performance Center that will air on the WWE Network. WWE will be announcing more matches for this show in the coming week. Here is the updated card:

Updated WWE Backlash Card

• Edge vs. Randy Orton – Singles Match
• WWE Champion Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley
• WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman vs. The Miz & John Morrison – Handicap Match
• WWE RAW Women’s Champion Asuka vs. Nia Jax
• Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus – Singles Match

Pretty boring card. I wonder what their plan is, as they are naming the bout between Edge and Orton as " The Greatest Wrestling match ever "
