Asuka starts off chanting for Becky Lynch.
KO plugs Becky Lynch's "The Mom" shirt.
KO shows some footage from last week where Asuka and Kairi Sane were interrupted by Nia Jax. Sane would later be attacked by Jax backstage, with Asuka getting some revenge. As Asuka began talking about what went down, Charlotte Flair enters the ring.
Charlotte claims that the RAW Women's Championship should've been handed to her, not Asuka. In fact, Asuka has never even beaten Charlotte. Natalya comes out and interrupts.
KO removes the chairs and signs before Natalya gets in, making sure she couldn't break any more of his equipment. Natalya apologizes, and Flair claims she's just kissing up to KO. Nia Jax comes out.
Kevin Owens, seeing where this is all going, leaves the ring before Jax enters. Jax says that just like Kairi Sane, she'll bulldoze through the champ at Backlash. A four-way brawl breaks out, with Asuka standing on top.
Andrade (c) vs. Apollo Crews for United States Championship
Apollo Crews won and is the new United States Champion.
The IIconics come out.
Peyton Royce apologizes for losing last week. Billie Kay apologizes for slapping her. The IIconics then claim that they never had a real opportunity to defender their belts, and a crazy lady and the office's favorite blonde will not be able to keep them away from those titles for long.
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross enter the ring, but the IIconics tell Nikki that she can't talk and should be grateful to be there. Cross says that she scratched and crawled to get here, and her first real friend, Alexa Bliss, was there for her when she was seen as a nobody in the locker room.
Cross goes on to say that they're real friends because they helped each other grow. Bliss keeps her focused and in check, Cross taught Bliss about true friendship. The IIconics decide that they've head enough, and lay out the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
MVP hosts the VIP Lounge with special guest, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
MVP announces McIntyre as the soon to be the former champion and McIntyre responds by trying to break the furniture.
MVP says that Lashley won't be locking him in the Full Nelson yet. No contract, no contact.
MVP brings us down memory lane, reminding us that he tried to align himself with Drew McIntyre earlier this year. Back then, McIntyre laid him out with a Claymore. Since then, MVP wanted to be responsible in McIntyre losing his title.
McIntyre, just like the last time he was on the VIP Lounge, said that he doesn't need someone thinking for him, talking for him, or kissing his butt. He follows up, saying that the only way anyone is taking the WWE Championship is if it's pried from his cold, dead hands.
MVP says that can easily be arranged. Lashley enters the arena, but McIntyre lays out MVP with another Claymore.
McIntyre demands that we see the real Lashley. He backs off, leaving with MVP in tow.
Angel Garza vs. Kevin Owens
Angel Garza won
Aleister Black and Humberto Carrillo vs. Buddy Murphy and Austin Theory
Buddy Murphy and Austin Theory won
Rollins demands Murphy and Carrillo hold Carrillo's eye by the steps. Aleister Black tries to rush him with a chair, but Rollins claims that if he does, Carrillo will lose his eye.
Rey Mysterio's sacrifice, Rollins claims, will be in vain if Black and Carrillo continue to ruin his plans.
Edge addresses Randy Orton, claiming that he's doubting his ability as an in-ring performer. After all these years, can he still hang with the best inside the squared circle? Edge was gone for over 3,000 days. In that time, Orton wrestled over 1,000 matches.
Edge has held his own against the greatest wrestlers in the world. The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Christian, Mr. Perfect, the list goes on. The Rated-R Superstar says he was a five-star workhorse for the WWE back in the day. Now, though, he doesn't know if he has what it takes.
At Backlash, he'll do everything in his power to prove himself wrong.
Charlotte Flair vs. Nia Jax vs. Natalya in a Triple Threat
Nia Jax won and will face Asuka at WWE Backlash for the RAW Women’s Championship
Ric Flair comments on "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" and gives his guess on who will come out on top. The Nature Boy says that since he retired, the #1 wrestler in the world has, and will continue to be, Randy Orton. He's picking the Viper.
The Street Profits vs. Bobby Lashley and MVP
The Street Profits win by DQ
After the match, Drew McIntyre rushes the ring and they begin to trade blows. McIntyre gets the best of Lashley until two NXT trainees break it up. A spear from Lashley cuts McIntyre in half.
Lashley and the WWE Champion tear through the trainees again, but nearly a dozen men rush in to tear them apart.
Rating: 70/70
Great show and matches.
