Two matches are now added to the card for the upcoming WWE Backlash premium live event.
Technically, one of them is still pending a bit of a hurdle, as Danhausen will have to find a tag team partner in order to face The Miz and Kit Wilson. On tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, Kit Wilson tried to set up a Looney Tunes style trap to get back at Danhausen, putting $40,000 out as "free human monies" as a lure. Danhausen was able to take the money with no consequences, only for the trap to then spring on The Miz and Wilson. Later, they went to the ring and The Miz teased joining Danhausen as a setup so they could beat him up. Danhausen asked SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis for a match next week, being granted the tag team offer instead. Danhausen called it hard work, but is down for the match.
The other match added to the show will be Trick Williams defending the Men's United States Championship against Sami Zayn, who he defeated for the title at WrestleMania 42. On this episode, Sami Zayn killed off The Gingerbread Man character, adding extra heat to this feud that has been going on for the past few months. The Gingerbread Man will actually get a funeral on next week's episode of SmackDown, which has upset Zayn over how ridiculous that is, while Trick is annoyed that Sami Zayn has messed with his money and taken out his...mascot? Friend? Whatever he is to Trick Williams.
With those updates in mind, here is the current lineup that has been advertised for WWE Backlash:
- Singles Match For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jacob Fatu
- Asuka vs. IYO SKY
- Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins
- Singles Match for the WWE Men's United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Sami Zayn
- Danhausen and a TBD partner vs. The Miz & Kit Wilson
WWE Backlash takes place Saturday, May 9, 2026 at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. Come back during the Countdown to Backlash pre-show for live coverage of the event here at The Ring Report.
