Backlash Preview: Five Matches And Four Titles On The Line!
This week on WrestleChat, AntMan is flying solo and breaking down every major match coming your way at WWE Backlash, the first Premium Live Event since WrestleMania 41—and the card is absolutely stacked. From title clashes to personal grudges, it's all on the table. First up, Ant dives into the Fatal Four-Way for the United States Championship as Jacob Fatu defends against LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest. Is LA Knight being robbed of a rightful rematch? And is this just the beginning of Fatu’s rise to the top? Then, it gets personal. Gunther and Pat McAfee go one-on-one after the shocking post-WrestleMania assault on Michael Cole. This isn't just about revenge—this one’s about respect. Plus, Penta challenges Dirty Dom for the Intercontinental Title in a match that could explode with outside interference, especially with Rey Fenix now in the mix. We’ve also got fireworks in the Women’s Intercontinental Title match between Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch. After their WrestleMania tag team win turned into betrayal the very next night, this quick-burn feud has some real heat. And finally, the main event: John Cena defends his record-breaking 17th world title against longtime rival Randy Orton in Orton’s hometown of St. Louis. Will Cena’s run end just three weeks after it began—or does this match have “shenanigans” written all over it?
