Roman Reigns Title Defense And More Added To Backlash
Multiple matches have been confirmed for Backlash.
Tonight's episode of Raw from Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, opened with a Seth Rollins promo. The Architect talked about Roman Reigns winning the World Heavyweight Championship and his loss to Gunther at WrestleMania, blaming both these developments on Bron Breakker.
The Vision star, accompanied by Paul Heyman, then made his way to the ring. After some back and forth, Rollins called Breakker 'Baby Steiner' and announced a match between the two for the upcoming PPV.
Later in the show, we saw IYO SKY challenging Becky Lynch for the Women's IC title. Asuka cost SKY the bout with her interference, and a match between the two was then announced for Backlash.
The main event of the show featured Roman Reigns calling out Jacob Fatu for his answer, after he gave the Samoan Warewolf a week to reconsider his challenge to the Tribal Chief.
Fatu ended up attacking Roman when Reigns claimed that allowing Jacob to challenge for the championship would be nepotism. As the former US Champion was making his way back up the ramp, the Head of The Table grabbed the mic and made the World title match official for the May 9 PPV.
