WWE Backlash 2026 is an incredible wrestling event. It will be the 21st Backlash event, taking place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in Florida. It will feature wrestlers from both Raw and SmackDown. Additionally, in the United States, it will be broadcast live on ESPN for the first time, with the kickoff hour also airing on the ESPN2 channel.

Storylines:

Whatever matches take place at Backlash aren't just fixed randomly; their rivalries build up over the weekly Raw and SmackDown shows. After that, the managers fix their matches.
And let me tell you something shocking: everything that happens in this event is written for them beforehand, exactly like a movie. Whatever they do is given to them in writing by the WWE authority. Even the match result—who will win and who will lose—is already written down.

Match Details:

1. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker: One match that has been finalized is Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker. However, Bron Breakker will have Paul Heyman in his corner for support. Despite Heyman's presence, the match itself will be a one-on-one contest where only these two will fight each other.

2. Iyo Sky vs. Asuka: The second match will be Iyo Sky vs. Asuka. This will also be a singles match, meaning only these two will face off in the ring. This has also been confirmed.

3. Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu: The third match is going to be a blockbuster: our "Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu. And no, it’s not just a regular match—the World Heavyweight Title is on the line. The winner takes all and will be crowned the champion. This match is also official.

4. Sami Zayn vs. Trick Williams: The fourth match features Sami Zayn taking on Trick Williams. Trick Williams is the current United States Champion, so this will be a United States Championship match. The winner will walk away with the U.S. Gold. This has also been confirmed.

5. Danhausen & Mystery Partner vs. The Miz & Kit Wilson: The fifth match features our new "scary hero" Danhausen and a mystery partner. These two will face off against The Miz and Kit Wilson at Backlash. This is also official.
