WWE is building strong momentum as WWE Backlash gets closer. With less than two weeks left, some big matches have now been officially confirmed for the show in Tampa. Fans can expect intense rivalries, unfinished business, and high-energy action.
Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker: A Delayed Fight Finally Happens
The match between Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker was originally planned for WrestleMania 42. However, Rollins suffered a hernia injury earlier this year, which forced WWE to cancel those plans.
Breakker returned just in time for WrestleMania and made a big impact by costing Rollins his match against Gunther. Since then, tensions have only increased.
On this week’s WWE Raw, both stars had a heated argument:
- Breakker said he never needed Rollins and only used him to get closer to Paul Heyman
- He also questioned Rollins’ ability to carry a world title again
- Rollins responded by saying Breakker has talent, but lacks the mindset needed to be a true top star
Now, both are ready to prove themselves inside the ring at Backlash. This match is expected to be one of the most exciting on the card.
IYO SKY vs Asuka: Former Allies Turn Rivals
Another big match confirmed is between Iyo Sky and Asuka.
These two were once part of the same group, but things have changed over time. Their rivalry finally exploded on Raw when Iyo answered an open challenge from Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Iyo was close to winning, but Asuka interfered:
- She pulled Iyo off the ropes during a key moment
- Becky Lynch took advantage and retained her title
- After the match, Asuka attacked Iyo and locked her in the “Asuka Lock” until she passed out
The crowd even started chanting for Kairi Sane, who had been part of this storyline before being released recently.
Despite everything, the focus is now clear—Iyo Sky vs Asuka will finally happen at Backlash.
Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu: Title Match Confirmed
The biggest match of the night will feature Roman Reigns defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu.
Fatu, known as the “Samoan Werewolf,” forced Reigns into accepting the match after a brutal attack on Raw. This match adds a strong Bloodline-style storyline element, making it even more exciting for fans.
