WrestleMania Backlash 2022

The WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022 event featured four WrestleMania rematches including one title match and a six-man tag team main event with five ...

Moss charged, Corbin with a knee and Moss caught Corbin with a fallaway slam for two. Lashley wanted a suplex, Omos with a punch and Omos went off the ropes leading to Lashley hitting a spinebuster. Corbin got a kick to the chest to stun Moss a bit and then Corbin hit a massive Chokeslam. Moss was out on the floor, so Corbin kneed him in the back to send Moss into the ring post. Flair got cocky at the end while standing over a chair, so Rousey used it to her advantage leading to the armbar with the chair and then the final twist leading to Flair losing. Edge applied an armbar on the mat, Styles drove Edge to the corner and then Edge sent Styles into the turnbuckle. Rollins with a back elbow to the head, Cody slipped out of a Pedigree tease and Rollins got a kick leading to a superkick to Cody’s head for a two count. Rollins with a slap to the back of the head, so Cody came back with a punch along with more punches and Rollins left the ring. Cody sent Rollins back into the ring, Cody went up top and went for a moonsault that missed because Rollins moved out of the way. Back in the ring, Lashley with a running kick to the leg followed by a flatliner sending Omos into the mat. Rollins tried to cheat to win, Cody rolled out of that and Cody was able to cheat to win, so it was payback for Cody in a way that makes sense because he was doing what Rollins tried to do. Cody with a punch to the head, then he went for a move off the ropes, but Rollins was there to shove Cody over the top to the floor. Rollins with a roaring elbow, then an elbow to the back of the head and a Falcon Arrow by Rollins for two.

The final stretch of the match was as packed with action as it could be, culminating with Roman spearing Riddle in half for the victory. Anyway, as for this match, And I find it kind of funny, and I find it kind of sad. There's been a lot of high-octane action tonight, and with six men in the match you would normally expect that here. The match was nothing to write home about and probably went on a few minutes too long. This match is an oddity because, in theory, Madcap Moss is supposed to be the lovable babyface, but that's just not the case. It was a solid match, and an "I Quit" match that didn't get too over-the-top. So I've been enjoying this match for what it is, and when Charlotte put the mic up to Ronda and Ronda said, "Never b****," I lost my mind. So the big story here is that AJ Smiles' arm is hurt and that comes into play a lot--especially when Smile is trying to put Edge into a variety of submissions. As for the match itself, it's two of the best in the industry doing their thing. It was a complete surprise to see Cody get the win here, as Seth winning made more sense--to get a rubber match at the next PPV. Regardless, I don't see anything topping this match tonight. Mat: Wrestlemania did something very important: it put Chris and I in the same room for the first time in a little more than two years.

SmackDown Women's Championship -- Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey ("I Quit" Match): After Flair scored a cheap win over Rousey at WrestleMania, a rematch ...

WWE later confirmed the six-man tag team match, but there was no mention of the tag team titles, casting doubts on the unification match. Rousey upped the stakes of the rematch on SmackDown, when she challenged Flair to an "I Quit" match. Sonya Deville: Deville abused her power as a WWE official to name herself Belair's next title challenger. The card seems as though it will focus on a mix of fresh matchups and rematches of bouts from WrestleMania. That includes a rematch between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair for Flair's SmackDown women's championship. That weekend saw Moss win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal while Corbin lost to Drew McIntyre. Jealousy overcame Corbin and he set his sights on his friend, setting up a one-on-one showdown between the former tag partners. Ronda Rousey ("I Quit" Match): After Flair scored a cheap win over Rousey at WrestleMania, a rematch was a certainty.

The six-man tag team match to close the show blew the roof off in Providence, RI.

Lashley took off for the match-ending spear but Omos dodged it and MVP struck Lashley with his cane while the referee was distracted. Rollins rolled up Rhodes with the tights; however, Rhodes rolled through and grabbed the tights for a three-count. Rhodes popping Rollins in the throat, faceplanting him off an extended suplex spot and then hitting a Disaster Kick. Rhodes attempted the Disaster Kick a second time and was firmly shoved over the ropes and to the outside.

What does that mean for Reigns going forward? It appeared that WWE was setting up a future WWE Universal Championship match between Reigns and McIntyre, which ...

Rollins attempted a roll up, pulling on Rhodes tights, but Rhodes reversed the roll up into one of this own and, with a fistful of Rollins tights, got the three count. Styles protested to the ref, saying Priest was barred from ringside, but Priest said he was on the ramp and not the ringside. For the first half of the match, Rollins was one step ahead of Rhodes. It's not just that Rollins got heat on Rhodes, but that Rollins had a counter for all of Rhode's attempted offense. Edge then got Styles in the crossface and Styles passed out. The commentators did a good job at explaining that Rollins had clearly watched tape on Rhodes and had prepared for his moves. On the inside, she slammed Rousey's face into the chair with a Natural Selection. Flair put Rousey in a Figure Eight, but Rousey broke it up by grabbing the chair and hitting Flair in the hip with it.

Reigns would get his revenge on Orton. Later Orton was battling with Jey Uso on the outside, setting up to slam him on the announcer's table. The first part saw The Bloodline work over Riddle. It set a slow pace, but that picked up once Reigns and McIntyre got in the ring.

WrestleMania Backlash also featured an “I Quit” Match for the SmackDown Women's Championship between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair. Rousey won the match with ...

Roman Reigns picked up the win over Riddle in the finish, which is fitting because this match simultaneously built up to Reigns vs. McIntyre and Reigns vs. Despite doing a good job of building up to Roman Reigns vs. Corey Graves described it as “beating Superman to the punch.” Randy Orton vs. Randy Orton at Allegiant Stadium for Money in the Bank. Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro (Riddle and Randy Orton) in a non-title six-man tag main event. - Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro vs. - April 8, 2022—2.230 million - Cody Rhodes vs. - Bobby Lashley vs. - Charlotte Flair vs.

What many considered a simple rehash of WrestleMania matches and uninteresting rivalries instead resulted in the best WWE pay-per-view of 2022 to date, ...

On top of it all, we got a brilliant main event featuring six of the best WWE has to offer. McIntyre was spared a loss as Reigns pinned The Original Bro following a Spear from out of nowhere. Rousey entered the industry via a five-star Match of the Year with Kurt Angle vs. In doing so, he ensured the feud with his perceived top contender has legs beyond Sunday's PPV. She fits the group's dark, brooding aesthetic and has the same edge of danger her teammates in Judgment Day possess. Ripley can be for Judgment Day what previous factions did not have: a presence in the women's division. He was fresh off a lengthy run with Impact Wrestling, where he improved his in-ring skills but had still not developed into the wrestler he needed to be to achieve consistent excellence in a main event role. Too often, she has seemed uncertain since her return at the Royal Rumble in January. Today, The Bloodline has a stranglehold on SmackDown and its titles. Wrestling history is brimming with great factions and stables that have dominated different divisions. Two things needed to happen in the main event of WrestleMania Backlash: The six men involved needed a great match to dampen any criticisms of what was, effectively, a house-show headliner, and WWE Creative had to protect the Roman Reigns-Drew McIntyre match that central to its storytelling in the future. The best match of WrestleMania 38 saw Cody Rhodes make a triumphant return to WWE and defeat Seth Rollins in a genuine Match of the Year candidate.

Welcome to Bleacher Report's coverage and recap of WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022. WWE had originally booked a tag title unification match between The Usos ...

- Jey took out Orton on the apron with a superkick at one point, and the way The Viper sold it was hilarious. Everybody was fighting in and around the ring. Then he tagged in Jey and told the crowd he was the shot-caller and would do things his way. Even without any titles on the line, this still felt like a bout that was worthy of closing the event. The Viper came in off the hot tag and began to run through everyone. - The sunset flip Moss used to win was about as textbook as it gets. The crowd was hot and chanting before they even made contact. The All Mighty tried to go after MVP, but Omos put a stop to it by pulling him back in the ring by his head. - The camera angle when Rollins slapped Rhodes in the back of the head before The American Nightmare turned around and decked him was perfect. - The kick Corbin hit to the leg almost looked like a low blow at first. Omos was unable to beat him back until MVP got on the apron to provide a distraction. He had a chip on his shoulder from his 'Mania loss, so it made perfect sense for him to be the aggressor.
