WWE Backlash premium live event is less than two weeks away, and the company announced three matches for the card during last night’s SmackDown.
WWE announced that Zelina Vega will challenge Rhea Ripley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Austin Theory will defend his United States Championship against Bronson Reed and Bobby Lashley in a Triple Threat match.
Also, the company added a match between Seth Rollins and Omos for the Backlash. Many fans were confused after the announcement, as both superstars were not involved in building up a storyline in any capacity.
It seems like Seth Rollins was also surprised by WWE’s announcement. Rollins responded to the WWE’s tweet with the following gif:
