SmackDown Live

Kevin Owens opens the show in the ring with the Highlight Reel set. He says this is the new and improved version of the show because Jericho will never be seen in WWE again.
Owens says Jericho was obsessed with lists, but now he is on the injured list because of him. He vows to defeat AJ Styles at Backlash before bringing out his guest. He starts the intro in French, but is interrupted by Styles' music.
Styles says he is going to bring the U.S. title back to the U.S.A., but before he can engage Owens in a fight, Jinder Mahal comes out with the signh brothers

The Usos come out and deliver another energetic promo directed at Breezango

Shane McMahon is out after the break to preside over the six-woman contract signing.

The Welcoming Committee comes out together, but Charlotte, Naomi and Becky Lynch each get their own entrance.

During their promos, Naomi implies James Ellsworth is a woman, Charlotte says after they win, she is going after the title around Naomi's waist. 

The match is official for Backlash for the six-woman tag team match.

Ellsworth grabs a mic and talks about how all the women on the other team have a crush on him. Naomi goes after him, but Shane gets between everyone. He books Carmella vs. Naomi for right now.

Naomi vs. Carmella

Tamina gets on the apron to distract Naomi, so the ref boots her and Natalya to the back. They run back to the ring and attack Charlotte and Becky. Naomi ends up being rolled up in the confusion to give Carmella the upset win.

Carmella won.

Dolph Ziggler cuts a promo on Shinsuke Nakamura from backstage. He shows a video highlighting all of his accomplishments. And his segments with Nakamura leading up this Sunday at Backlash. I'm looking forward to this not going to lie.

We see Baron attack Zayn during an interview backstage, I'd dig it if they made this a match at Backlash. Both of these superstars are awesome in the ring. - They made this a match for Backlash.

Randy Orton vs. Baron Corbin

Randy Orton won

Jinder Mahal comes out and distracts Orton while the Singhs attack from behind. Orton fends them off until Mahal makes the numbers game too much to deal with. The show ends with Mahal standing tall with the WWE title.

Rating 70/70

Pretty awesome show and matches as we look closer for WWE Backlash.
