WrestleMania Backlash 2022 is the next premium live event offering by WWE.
This is the 17th installment of this event, which was previously known as simply, Backlash. As the name implies, WrestleMania Backlash will feature a continuation of many feuds and storylines from WrestleMania 38.
Much of the card features WrestleMania rematches, but that doesn’t mean this is a show to skip. With 7 matches confirmed, WrestleMania Backlash is shaping up to be a show worth your time.
WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022 Card
Here’s the current match card for WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022:
The Bloodline vs. Drew McIntyre & RK-Bro
This match was originally scheduled to be a tag title unification match between SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos and Raw Tag Team Champions, RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Riddle).
Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre were later added to the match, making it a six-man tag.
WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship: Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey (“I Quit” Match)
Ronda Rousey challenged Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s title at WrestleMania, but came up short. Flair got the win after a ref bump and Rousey getting distracted. At WrestleMania Backlash, the only way to win is to make your opponent surrender.
Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins lost clean to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania, but Rhodes had the element of surprise on his side. The American Nightmare knew who to train for, while Rollins’ opponent remained a mystery until the last moment. Rollins seeks to even the score at Backlash, while Rhodes aims to prove his WrestleMania victory was no fluke.
Edge vs. AJ Styles
Edge and AJ Styles had a great match at WrestleMania was well-received. This one should be no different. The Phenomenal One hopes to score a win here, but Edge now has Damien Priest at his side.
Bobby Lashley vs Omos
Lashley got the surprise victory over Omos at WrestleMania. However, there has been a significant change since then. MVP has since turned on Lashley and aligned himself with the giant, Omos. Could MVP be the difference maker at WrestleMania Backlash?
Happy Corbin vs. Madcap Moss
Former friends are now enemies. Happy Corbin once considered Madcap Moss his right-hand man. Corbin blames moss for his loss to Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania and looks to break free of him once and for all at WrestleMania Backlash.
