WWE Backlash is coming towards us from the Coliseum of Richmond, Virginia. This marks the first-ever brand specific PPV. The blue brand was all set to give us the returning Backlash PPV to showcase their talents. It is a must watch match for the Women’s division since it is the first-ever six pack challenge to crown the first-ever Smackdown Women’s champion.
Smackdown has utilized their Women’s division properly and hence each of them had an equal chance to win the championship at Backlash. The six women competing in the championship match were Natalya, Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Naomi, Becky Lynch and Nikki Bella. It was high likely that WWE would take the easiest way to give either Nikki Bella or Becky Lynch the championship. But we also expected a twist in the match by which either Carmella or Alexa Bliss could become the new champion.
The match started to be contested in an elimination capacity. Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan kicked off the show with this much-anticipated one. The contestants filled up the ring, thereafter.

Alexa Bliss was the first one to be eliminated. However, quite shockingly, Carmella pinned Nikki Bella again to eliminate him. In the end, it was Becky Lynch who made tap out the queen of the Staten Island to hold the Women’s championship.
