WWE Backlash 2026 Match Order

WWE Backlash 2026 emanates from the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida on Saturday, May 9, with it being the first pay-per-view since WrestleMania 42.

It has already been announced that the first two matches at Backlash will be Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins and Trick Williams' first WWE United States Title defence against Sami Zayn in a WrestleMania 42 rematch, with the first hour of Backlash airing on ESPN2 in the United States.

Following those matches, though, it will be Danhausen and a mystery partner vs. The Miz and Kit Wilson. In the fourth match of the night, IYO SKY will take on Asuka. Before the main event of Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Title, John Cena will make what he has described as a "history-making" announcement. Internal expectation within WWE was that Cena's announcement would be related to Club WWE.
