- 15:15You're fine, You're fine. Backlash.
- 15:20Backlash Live from St. Louis, MO Enterprise Center, May
- 15:2610th, 2025 The concept event is based around the Backlash from
- 15:47WrestleMania 4541. The event will feature John
- 15:50Cena's first appearance at a Backlash event since 29th, 2009,
- 15:55which will also be his last Backlash appearance during his
- 15:57retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.
- 16:00We're just going to keep mentioning this until forever.
- 16:03So like the end of the year, he's retiring.
- 16:09I didn't know that. Matches.
- 16:14We all know there's three matches here, but possibility of
- 16:20another three matches being? Have they announced anything
- 16:24new? Oh shit, I didn't check.
- 16:29I only saw that there's four matches, so.
- 16:32Now there's 4. Yeah, let's see.
- 16:38Oh yeah, I see it. I see it.
- 16:39OK. OK.
- 16:42Oh. Which is that one OK possible
- 16:49match? Jehu Sugars?
- 16:50Logan Paul for the World Heavyweight Championship since
- 16:57next week. They better start announcing it
- 17:00now or you know it's just going to be been of.
- 17:03I'm pretty sure there USO and Paul were both Victoria's at
- 17:09WrestleMania. USO won his first world title by
- 17:11the throwing Gunther. Meanwhile, Paul snuck a victory
- 17:13over former W champion AJ Styles, 28.
- 17:17Paul called out USO. Both men landed cheap shots on
- 17:19each other throughout the night. Who's Over His paw is an easy
- 17:22enough world title match to sell on short notice.
- 17:29Let's hope not. Let's hope not.
- 17:33I don't want to see him in another, you know, back-to-back.
- 17:38He's already he's already full time.
- 17:45Obviously we're going to you so right.
- 17:47Yeah. Next match W Women's
- 17:58Championship Tiffany Stratton versus NIA Jacks Again.
- 18:04Stratton won the W women's title by cashing in on her money in
- 18:07the bank. Pictures on former Allied Jacks.
- 18:09This story never reached a natural conclusion, but it seems
- 18:11that he's ready to ruin it. Jax attack Stratton on the April
- 18:1525th episode of Smackdown, planning the seeds for a title
- 18:19match between the friends turned foes.
- 18:21And what does she do when she got attacked?
- 18:24Hold her stomach. Yeah.
- 18:31Land on her chest, hold her stomach.
- 18:35Does a clothesline hold her stomach?
- 18:39I'm so over this girl. He wants Tiffany Stratton again.
- 18:52I want heels Tiffany Stratton back so that she doesn't have to
- 18:55hold her stomach all the time. So it's like the 95% of Tiffany
- 19:03Stratton as a face has always been just looking up at the sky
- 19:08laid out in the corner of fucking ring.
- 19:11He has not dominated anything, not even Charlotte.
- 19:18No. She didn't dominate Charlotte at
- 19:20all. We dominated Charlotte like
- 19:23we're the fans dominated Charlotte, the friends, Like,
- 19:26all right, here's what's going to happen.
- 19:28OK, Tiffany, we're going to back you up.
- 19:31And if she wins, we're just going to Boo the hell out of her
- 19:34until she leaves. They have no choice.
- 19:40So obviously, Tiffany Stratton, I don't want my Jacks champ
- 19:43again. Yep, I'm digging tippy time
- 19:47right now so. Tiffany Time confirmed and
- 19:53announced Jacob Hot 2 versus Ellie Knight with Damien
- 19:56Priebin, Drew McIntyre, Freda four way for the West United
- 19:59States Championship. At Night 1 of WrestleMania 41,
- 20:03Jacob fought 2 defeated LA Knight to win the United States
- 20:05Championship, and a day later at night 2, Drew McIntyre defeated
- 20:08Damien Priest in the Sin City Street fight.
- 20:11On the next episode of Smackdown.
- 20:13Last week during Bloodline Fought 2 and Solitude Cause
- 20:16Celebration, Knight interrupted dating that he wanted a rematch.
- 20:21McIntyre also interrupted and after Tony Priest, he stated
- 20:23that he also won a championship match with Smackdown General
- 20:26Manager Nick Aldis, scheduling a match between Night and McIntyre
- 20:30later at night to determine the number one stander for five to
- 20:32the United States Championship. During the match Preach Attack
- 20:35McIntyre was a call stacked night, however referee only
- 20:38notice Preach Attack awarding McIntyre DQ victory award.
- 20:42Afterwards, 5 to Stood All Tall overnight in Priests are the
- 20:47next episode Night of Priests face each other in a no contest
- 20:49due to interference from Sokola. Following the match, Freeze and

- 20:54I'll just within schedule a triple threat match between
- 20:56about two Freeze and Knight for United States Championship at
- 20:58Backlash. However, after Sokola stated
- 21:01that McIntyre should receive a championship match because of
- 21:04his disqualification win, I'll just take a fatal four way match
- 21:08for the championship bat also involving McIntyre.
- 21:10Backlash. All right, technical
- 21:19difficulties aside, let's try this again.
- 21:39The fatal four way match, Jacob 2 versus Ellie and I was Damon
- 21:45pre Drew. McIntyre.
- 21:50What do we have? I got Jacob.
- 21:57Got Jacob you. Got too much money?
- 21:59Yep. I think Jacob too, right?
- 22:04Let him cook with it. You know, let him cook.
- 22:06Yeah, go for it. Like, yeah, I don't want to.
- 22:13I don't want to get Haku mad or anything.
- 22:20Hey again, Liana, anybody in the chat over here on TikTok now?

- 22:31cool mad give it, give it keep keep the sun happy.
- 22:39Oh, man. All right, the read the matches
- 22:45already signed up are OK.
- 23:01The three matches that are confirmed, The other three
- 23:04matches that are confirmed, Gunther is Bat McAfee just out
- 23:09of the blue. On On the Rod the night after
- 23:18WrestleMania 41 On the Rod the night after WrestleMania 41,
- 23:22Gunther came out and argued it. Commentators Michael and Pat
- 23:25McAfee as Gunther felt disrespected by follow by them
- 23:29following his loss at WrestleMania.
- 23:31Gunther an attack Cole, which led to McAfee attacking Gunther.
- 23:34In Cole's defense, however, Gunther managed to overpower
- 23:36McAfee and choked him out. Gunther was subsequently fined
- 23:39and suspended by Raw general manager Adam Pierce.
- 23:41The following week, McAfee wanted to fight Gunther and
- 23:44asked MacDonald General Manager out Nick Alders, who has been
- 23:46subbing for peers that night to lift country suspension.
- 23:49All the decline, instead proposed a match between them at
- 23:52Backlash, which McAfee accepted. Then he came out and did a
- 23:55freaking promo. This man what?
- 24:01Yeah, we're OK with two losses in a row, right?
- 24:07For Gunther. Yeah, it's not going to hurt,
- 24:12man. It's not.
- 24:13It's. Not going to hurt him.
- 24:15I mean, he's been intercom champion for a long time, world
- 24:17heavy champion. For a long time.
- 24:19Let him have his little losses, he'll be fine.
- 24:24I also want to see McAfee fight reply from the fact that he did
- 24:31like a what? What was it, 2019, 20/17/2018
- 24:35around there against Adam Cole? Yeah.
- 24:39Yeah. And that was a great match.
- 24:42Yeah, no, that was like, I think 2020.
- 24:46Was it around 2020? Yeah, I don't remember.
- 24:49Because I saw that match and that's when I started watching.
- 24:52Yeah, that's right. OK then.
- 24:59OK. And it's just a regular match.
- 25:02OK. I'm going to go with Pat McAfee.
- 25:08Me too, it'll be good. I think it's going to be a good
- 25:13fight anyway, but. For the WE Women's Intercom
- 25:20Championship, Lyra Bulkaria versus Becky Lynch Friday night
- 25:301 of WrestleMania 41 Bailey was supposed to team up with Lyra
- 25:33for W Women's Tag Team Championship match on night two
- 25:35of the event was found attacked backstage by an assailant,
- 25:38requiring Bulk here to find a new partner.
- 25:42A night 2 Becca Lynch major surprise return as Bulgaria's
- 25:44mystery partner and they won the Women's Tag Team Championship.
- 25:47However, in a rematch the next night in Raleigh lost the title
- 25:49with Bulk here taking the pin. Following the match, a Lynch
- 25:52attacked by Kira, turning here for the first time since 2022.
- 25:55The following week, Lynch revealed that she was the one
- 25:57who attacked Bailey and she all those days that she attacked
- 25:59about Kira because about curious friendship with Bailey, whom
- 26:01Lynch had numerous problems in religion years.
- 26:04But Kerry interrupted and challenged Chillinch to fight
- 26:07her that night. However, Lynch this climbed back
- 26:09here, then decided to defend her women's intercom championship
- 26:11against Lynch at Backlash, who substantively accepted there's
- 26:21backlash for Lynch as well. Like people are saying, like,
- 26:25how are we gonna hate on Charlotte when Lynch doing the
- 26:28same, right? Coming back and getting a child
- 26:31at the belt and then here she comes.
- 26:34Yeah. And somebody also said that she
- 26:37might be the reason. Corrugated.
- 26:40How? Oh really?
- 26:42Wow. What?
- 26:46Because back when it is like a crazy stuff, back when the whole
- 26:58thing with Seth and CM Punk and Becky Lynch made it like a
- 27:04reference. Oh yeah, why is CM Punk?
- 27:07And yeah. Yeah.
- 27:10Roxanne Perez wearing the same suits?
- 27:12Mm hmm. So Core J said something about
- 27:17Becky Lynch being all like, why is she weird?
- 27:21Damn, that's cold. Well.
- 27:30I mean, she ain't lying, but why is she weird?
- 27:38Get out of here. So IWC has been saying a lot of
- 27:43things, man. That's messed.
- 27:48Up. And just put a women's title
- 27:57too. Just added me out of this.
- 28:02Oh my gosh. And just put a women's title
- 28:12too, which is just like, oh shit.
- 28:17So I, I don't want this to happen, but I think they're
- 28:21going to give it to Becky so she could be intercontinental
- 28:26champion and then. She don't need it though.
- 28:33She'll hold it for a little bit. Yeah, Well, yeah.
- 28:37That's messed up with it, man. She don't.
- 28:40Need it. That's true.
- 28:47No, I'm giving it to Lyra. Becky will probably come back,
- 28:51not Bailey will probably come back and just wail in on Becky
- 28:57and then we'll have that match the next few shows.
- 29:02Yeah, so you think it would start a a feud again between
- 29:14Becky and. Bailey, Yeah, yeah, probably.
- 29:20And then I don't like his last minute tag team between Bailey
- 29:26and Lyra, so they had to put in like a whole program for Becky
- 29:31and Bailey to come back to. So yeah, I'm getting into Lyra
- 29:38though. But Bailey comes back and they
- 29:41fight with Becky again and we have this whole match now that
- 29:46she doesn't have damage control though without Dakota.
- 29:50Yeah, well, now EO has nobody in her corner, you know.
- 29:59Right, right. Is because Oscar is still
- 30:04injured and. Oscar's, I don't know where
- 30:07stocked. Yeah, well.
- 30:09Stocked and Kyrie's saying is just like I'm in Japan.
- 30:15Yeah. Somewhere around there.
- 30:20They should fumble their affection, huh?
- 30:23Damn, yeah. Yeah, they did.
- 30:29Uh huh, so wrong. And.
- 30:32They weren't using either one of them anyway they.
- 30:35They got, I mean, it got stale. I got stale towards the end
- 30:38anyway, so you know. Yeah, yeah.
- 30:43I think once Oscar came in and they kicked out Bailey, it kind
- 30:48of was like. Yeah, yeah.
- 30:51Wasn't. Yeah.
- 30:52But no well. No longer Bailey statement.
- 30:56Yeah, all. Right main event for the last
- 31:03time for the Undisputed W Championship.
- 31:07This John Steena versus this Randy Orton in the main event of
- 31:13night to wrestle me for you 1 John Cena won the W Championship
- 31:16to become a record 17 time World champion.
- 31:20On the following Raw, Cena gloated about his win only for
- 31:23Randy. We're going to attack Cena with
- 31:24Anarchy. Oh oh shit, back down that
- 31:28Friday as Cena was about to cut another problem, he was
- 31:31interrupted by Orton, who tried to read him with Novela Cena
- 31:35turn heel Elimination Chamber Toronto back in March.
- 31:37After an exchange of words, Oregon Challenge seen it to a
- 31:39match where his championship that night however, seen a
- 31:42decline, stating that the match should have in Norton's hometown
- 31:44Saint Louis at Backlash. The match was subsequently made
- 31:47official and was billed as One last time, One more time, one
- 31:56last time as to I wanted this to be the last match for Cena.
- 32:03Yeah. And this is like too early.
- 32:06And then freaking we're in May. Can we have another match later
- 32:12on in the year? Yeah, this is in May.
- 32:15Possibly John Cena would see him bunk around there around that
- 32:19time. But maybe they'll do this one.
- 32:26And then if he fights a Survivor Series, make that, you know,
- 32:32their last time, make that his last fight.
- 32:34And then Randy can have the belt, you know, So Randy loses
- 32:40on, you know, next week and then comes back, you know, in
- 32:45Survivor Series, you know, they refight and Survivor Series and
- 32:49then John Cena loses. It's not even about fights, it's
- 32:55about dates. Yeah, I know.
- 33:00I'm, I'm sure he's not gonna lose that belt until I probably
- 33:05say Saturday night main event probably.
- 33:09Oh, you think so? I just got it.
- 33:12Yeah, he's gonna hold on to it for the entire year.
- 33:17Great. The entirety of the year.
- 33:21Holy hostage. Yeah.
- 33:22Really. The the last real world
- 33:24champion. Yeah.
- 33:28What he wanted to do is that make a new belt, like he's going
- 33:32to retire the belt when he retires and they'll have no
- 33:37choice but to make a new belt and call it the the champion.
- 33:44How? Or he could do Jay versus John
- 33:50Cena. Oh, unify the belt.
- 33:54Unify the belt. It never worked.
- 33:58Like that, but. It never works.
- 34:00Every time they do, they switch up and never have work.
- 34:03Yeah, they bring it back again. Yeah, yeah.
- 34:10Well, who else do you want? Another.
- 34:12Who else do you want to come back to fight Cena?
- 34:16I mean we can do Roman as well also like.
- 34:19I like to see that. Yes.
- 34:22Yes, please. I think, yeah, I, but I think
- 34:28I'm going to say Roman would be like Summer Slam, you know, give
- 34:38other people you'll let him work out his issues right now with
- 34:43Seth and CM Punk. Yeah, you know, And then after
- 34:50that's done, then fight for the belt.
- 34:55That's if Roman's going to be on Smackdown.
- 34:58Right. That's you know.
- 34:59What I mean because he started this year on Netflix, you know,
- 35:04on raw so right, who knows? But he is a free agent so he
- 35:11know where go where he wants. So oh.
- 35:17My goodness, one last time. One last time.
- 35:22Who else do you want to see one last time?
- 35:27I know who I don't want to see again because I'm tired of it.
- 35:32I'm tired of seeing CM Punk and Seth Rollins fight each other.
- 35:37Let's be done with that now that he's got Paul Hayden.
- 35:45But I'm not hating. I'm just saying.
- 35:51I'm just saying go. I want to say, OK, so you you
- 35:55both know that I say all he wants to do is like extreme
- 36:01matches, stuff like that. OK, I want to see him fight
- 36:06other people. OK, so I'm not hating.
- 36:10I'm just saying they've already done the Seth versus, you know,
- 36:15CM Punk, he. Will, but we'll just just.
- 36:18The story is not over yet. Oh, I think it's over.
- 36:25I think it's over. But, you know, whatever.
- 36:28I mean if the bloodline storyline never over.
- 36:31No, OK. So this one isn't either.
- 36:35OK, We we get to have our own story.
- 36:37OK, You're just the Bloodline storyline.
