– Randy Orton’s backstage promo on Bray Wyatt during Tuesday night’s SmackDown received some negative feedback on social media.
Slater and Rhyno joined forces before the tag tournament began.
The match at Backlash has the makings of a good title bout, especially with separate storylines being interwoven into it.
Daniel Bryan introduced Becky Lynch, who was interrupted by Natalya, who was interrupted by Alexa Bliss, who was interrupted by Carmella. The three women look to team up on Lynch, but Nikki Bella and Naomi help even the odds and throw the heels out of the ring. Later in the show, these women will compete in a six-woman tag team match. They will face off at Backlash for the new belts.
Ziggler is then confronted by Miz outside of the ring as Crews follows, but the Intercontinental Champion takes advantage of the situation and shoves Crews into Ziggler, before hitting the Skull Crushing Finale on him and pinning him for the win. It all started last week when Wyatt made statements against Orton and said to badly defeated him at Backlash. The tag team aspect of the match allowed for several finishers without a three-count, until Nikki Bella was left alone in the ring with Carmella.
