WWE PPV March 2026}}
Backlash (2026)
- Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Roman Reigns def. Jacob Fatu to retain Raw's World Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, Iyo Sky defeated Asuka, Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn to retain SmackDown's WWE United States Championship, and in the opening bout, Bron Breakker defeated Seth Rollins.
- After SummerSlam in August 2025, Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, who both competed for the Women's World Championship at the event, maintained a friendly relationship, much to the dismay of Sky's former Damage CTRL stablemates The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane), but more specifically Asuka, who confronted Sky multiple times. On the September 22 episode of ''Raw'', Asuka and a conflicted Sane betrayed Sky. This began a rivalry, with Ripley and Sky subsequently defeating The Kabuki Warriors at Crown Jewel. After that, The Kabuki Warriors won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, and Ripley and Sky subsequently faced The Kabuki Warriors multiple times in singles and tag team matches, including Ripley and Sky's team defeating The Kabuki Warriors' team in the Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series: WarGames, and also defeating them on the ''Raw on Netflix Anniversary Show'' on January 5, 2026, to win the title. On the February 27 episode of ''SmackDown'', Ripley and Sky, now known as Rhiyo, lost the title. After that, Asuka continually mistreated Sane for her failures to help her, and on the March 23 episode of ''Raw'', Sky approached Sane and stated she deserved better treatment. The following week, Asuka and Sane appeared ringside during Sky's match, with Asuka forcing Sane to interfere, however, Sane did nothing. After Sky spotted Asuka mistreating Sane at ringside, Sky attacked Asuka, a distraction that cost Sky the match. On the ''Raw'' before WrestleMania 42, Sky faced Sane, and despite Ripley's involvement, Asuka interfered and cost Sky the win. The following week, Rhiyo def. The Kabuki Warriors in a tag team match. Following that, Ripley was transferred to the SmackDown brand after winning the WWE Women's Championship while Sane was legitimately released from WWE. On the April 27 episode, Asuka attacked Sky, costing her a match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. Later that night, it was subsequently announced that Asuka would face Sky at Backlash.
- In June 2024, Jacob Fatu, a member of the prominent AnoaΚ»i family made his WWE debut joining The Bloodline stable, led by Solo Sikoa, and once led by Roman Reigns. After Reigns returned at SummerSlam to cost Sikoa an Undisputed WWE Championship match, Fatu, as Sikoa's enforcer, was then embroiled into a feud with Reigns. At Bad Blood on October 5, Fatu and Sikoa lost to Reigns in a tag team match after interference from a returning Jimmy Uso, marking Fatu's first loss in WWE. At Crown Jewel on November 2, Fatu, Sikoa, and Tama Tonga def. the original incarnation of The Bloodline of Reigns and The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) in a six-man tag team match. At Survivor Series: WarGames on November 30, The Bloodline's team lost to Reigns and The Usos' team in a WarGames match. Reigns would then reclaim the Tribal Chief title on the ''Raw'' premiere on Netflix in January 2025 by defeating Sikoa to end the rivalry. After multiple weeks of dissension, Fatu betrayed Sikoa at Money at the Bank on June 7 by attacking him in the namesake ladder match, leaving The Bloodline and turning face. After Reigns won the men's Royal Rumble match at the eponymous event in January 2026, Reigns subsequently won the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Night 2 of WrestleMania 42. Reigns and The Usos reunited the following night on ''Raw'', but they were interrupted by Fatu, who was part of SmackDown at the time, with Fatu stating that he wanted everything that Reigns had, including the title, before challenging Reigns to a title match at Backlash. Reigns stated that he did not think Fatu was ready for a title match and said he would give Fatu a week before making his decision. There, Reigns stated that he still felt that Fatu did not deserve a title match, and that giving him one would be nepotism. After Fatu attacked Reigns, he accepted the challenge.
- On Night 2 of WrestleMania 42, Trick Williams, accompanied by Lil Yachty, def. Sami Zayn to win the WWE United States Championship. On that week's ''SmackDown'', during Williams and Yachty's celebration, they appeared with a gingerbread man mascot, which Williams had already used the previous week to mock Zayn. There, the mascot attacked Yachty and Williams before revealing itself to be Zayn in disguise, who subsequently performed a Helluva Kick on Williams. The following week, Zayn destroyed the Gingerbread man costume, prompting Williams to attack Zayn. Later that night, Williams challenged Zayn with his title on the line at Backlash, which Zayn accepted and it was made official by SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
