After weeks of feuding and high tensions post-WrestleMania, a massive United States title match has been announced for WWE Backlash.
During tonight’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Nick Aldis has officially seen enough. Earlier in the night, Damian Priest and LA Knight were meant to be facing off to determine Jacob Fatu‘s next opponent. Interference from Solo Sikoa ended things in a DQ, and forced Aldis to call for a Triple Threat at Backlash.
Backstage, Sikoa argued that, technically, Drew McIntyre also interfered in a #1 Contender’s Match last week. Aldis agreed, and said in that case, a Fatal Four-Way Match was better suited. Sikoa was clearly not happy, but Fatu said he didn’t care, and would dogwalk anyone who got put in front of him.
Now, the four will step into the ring at Backlash. There, Fatu will have to defend his newly won title against some of WWE’s best. More matches for the premium live event will likely be added, as well.
What do you think? Are you excited for Fatu’s match at WWE Backlash? Who do you think is going to win and be WWE United States Champion? Let us know in the comments below.
IT’S HAPPENING!
