Updated WWE Backlash 2018 Card After Raw
Big tag match set for May 6th.
WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble took place just four days ago, but the company are already gearing up for their next big pay-per-view, with Backlash 2018 set to take place this Sunday (May 6th).
With single-brand PPVs a thing of the past, WWE are marketing this as the first non-big four show to feature both Raw and SmackDown stars. This isn't entirely accurate, as the company regularly ran Raw/SD combo events during the original brand split era, but the lineup is taking shape nicely.
Six matches were already on deck prior to last night's go-home Raw, with Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens added during the show. This came following a six-man tag also featuring Jinder Mahal on the heel side, and Roman Reigns with the babyfaces, in which 'The Monster Among Men' scored the decisive pinfall on KO.
Here's how the card currently looks:-
WWE Title: AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Intercontinental Title: Seth Rollins (c) vs. The Miz
Raw Women's Title: Nia Jax (c) vs. Alexa Bliss
SmackDown Women's Title: Carmella (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe
Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass
Braun Strowman & Bobby Lashley vs. Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens
