Unification Match Changed To Six-Man Tag At WWE WrestleMania Backlash
No titles are at stake
What was once promoted as a unification match for both of WWE's men's Tag Team titles is now a six man tag, without the belts being at stake.
Raw Tag Team champions RK-Bro will now team with Drew McIntyre to face Universal champion Roman Reigns and SmackDown Tag champs The Usos at WrestleMania Backlash in nine nights time.
The two tag teams met on SmackDown to sign the contract for the unification bout, when a brawl suddenly broke out. Reigns ran in to assist his cousins, before McIntyre ran in to even the odds.
Paul Heyman then went to Adam Pearce and got the match changed to the six-man, with no titles on the line.
The current card for WWE WrestleMania Backlash, taking place Sunday, May 8 at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI, is as follows:
* SmackDown Women's/I Quit match: Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey
* Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro vs. The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and The Usos)
* Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
* AJ Styles vs. Edge
* Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss
* Bobby Lashley vs. Omos
