WWE Backlash is coming towards us from the Coliseum of Richmond, Virginia. This marks the first-ever brand specific PPV as well as the first-ever bout of Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt. This was a big opportunity for the blue brand to focus on their talent and hence they arranged for a new tag team title for their division.
At Backlash, it was the Usos vs. Hype Bros for a second chance match. They won in a convincing way to advance towards the finals against Slater and Rhyno.
That’s right, @WWEUniverse, IT’S TIME TO GET HYPE with @ZackRyder & @MojoRawleyWWE. #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/LbgWF70X6v

Later in the finals at Backlash, Rhyno connected with the Gorre to win the first ever Smackdown tag team title. Heath is no more free agent from now on.

On the other hand, prior to the Intercontinental match, The Miz was furious once again to Daniel Bryan. In the match, it was his wife who helped him to earn a controversial win and retaining the Intercontinental championship.
The disgust on @WWEDanielBryan‘s face ALMOST matches the venom in @mikethemiz‘s words…. #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/wjNbs8ZjmA
