Only for Edge to kick out and hit the Downward Spiral for the win. Gangrel theme hits and he comes up his fire elevator does his laugh and then immediately descends back into his flame elevator. Lita shows up, then Beth Phoenix brawls with her.

Some news from Sean Ross Sapp at Fightful... {Spoiler}Backlash is being taped at the PC this afternoon before Takeover - I can only presume they didn't want to do two straight Sundays, so they're getting both done today. Once Backlash has finished filming, the PC talent will be driven over to Full Sail for Takeover.

The wrestlers getting more time with family is always good.

Handicap title matches are so stupid.

Damn the PC wrestlers will be more exhausted than the wrestlers competing having to stand through all of these matches today & tonight.

Started working on my Backlash Page and since there hasn't been a Backlash since 2018, a lot of the current roster has never competed, so there is at least 1 person in every match that will be making their Backlash debut except for Edge VS Orton & Strowman VS Miz & Morrison.

NXT: In Your House was the first WWE show I've seen since Money in the Bank, and so was the first WWE show I've seen with the PC 'fans'; and I gotta say it's made me less interested in watching Backlash than made me more excited. These plants are just awful. I can't get over how something that works so well in AEW just doesn't work at all in WWE- but I have absolutely zero interest in seeing any WWE stuff without a proper live crowd.

There's a serious problem when the most interesting match on the card involves Nia Jax.

I think it's the whole Pavlovian dog responses from the PC fans.

I think the crowd adds a lot to the atmosphere. I would just have them stop chanting things (AEW included).

I'm glad this PPV is what it is, because I'm not overly invested in any of these matches so I can just chill and watch, and not be tense and overthinking things like I did for Takeover.

Something for post-Backlash, whoever emerges as the Women's Tag Team Champions will defend them next week on NXT against Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox.

This is the most Backlash card to ever Backlash..
Seriously they couldn’t have thrown Rollins vs. Black on there, or the IC Title finals.
Just looking at this card I’m already ready to turn it off..

Wow, I don't watch Raw or Smackdown but I still usually watch the ppvs. I came into this thread to see what matches were happening Sunday, and my God am I disappointed. Obviously you can't judge a show until it happens, but this looks absolutely terrible on paper.
I practically live for pro wrestling, but I think I'll be skipping this one. I would rather just wait until Tuesday and start watching the New Japan Cup.

The card looks p boring but I'm genuinely interested to see if they actually do anything interesting in the greatest match ever. Also want to see the IIconics win the titles but that's about the extent of my excitement for this one.
