Cody Rhodes Vs. Brock Lesnar, 6-Man Tag Announced For WWE Backlash
The pay-per-view begins taking shape
Two matches were announced for next month's Backlash during Monday's episode of Raw.
An anticipated singles match was made official between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar. Adam Pearce confirmed the match, agreeing to it to keep Rhodes from trying to attack Lesnar during Monday's show.
The feud began the night after WrestleMania, when Lesnar attacked Rhodes before they were scheduled to team up in the main event of that night's Raw.
Also added to the show is a six-man tag pitting The Usos and Solo Sikoa against Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle. The six men brawled on Friday's SmackDown, after a match between Sikoa and Riddle.
Prior to Backlash, Owens and Zayn will defend the Tag Team titles against the Usos on the April 28 episode of SmackDown.
The current card for WWE Backlash, taking place Saturday, May 6 at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, includes the following:
* Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar
* The Usos and Solo Sikoa vs. Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle
