 AJPW World Tag Team Champions Titans of Calamity def. Jack N' Eddie, Death Row Militia, and Devastation Reborn in a Four-Way Tag Team Match to Earn the No. 16b Seed in the Crockett Cup (Non-Title)I was wondering what happened to Talos when he randomly disappeared from NWA programming a while ago and Daisy Kill started appearing on his own. Apparently he formed Titans of Calamity with Ren Ayabe and captured tag title gold over in Japan. I actually like his dynamic with Ayabe way more than the dynamic he had with Kill. This match was extremely quick, but Titans of Calamity made the most sense to go over.

 Ricky Saints Confronted Undisputed WWE Champion Cody RhodesFor those who remember, Saints made his AEW debut back in 2020 by answering an open challenge from Rhodes, so I thought it was a nice touch to have his first SmackDown appearance be in a segment with Rhodes. He even acknowledged that during their exchange here. This was good stuff to start the show and to set up their match for a little later in the night.
 Dr. Vik def. Wrecking Ball Legursky in an NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Match by Count-OutYes, this was an actual match they did, but to be fair, Vik has been a regular character on Powerrr for a while now, mostly in vignettes crushing on Tiffany Nieves, so this did have some story behind it. It was obviously ridiculous that Vik would beat Legursky, but it was done in fluky fashion with Vik winning by count-out, and Vik earning a shot at the title later in the night felt more like a one-off attraction anyway, if only to see how he'd fare against Silas Mason.
 Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker Went Face-to-FaceWhere the hell was this verbal exchange a year ago when The Vision first formed?! This was the explanation I was looking for as far as why Rollins recruited Breakker into The Vision, including acknowledging that championship clash they had in NXT in 2023. I appreciated the intensity from both men and thought Breakker more than held his own on the mic. I didn't think we'd get the match as early as Backlash, but I'm not complaining, especially since I assume there will be more matches after that.
 WWE LFG is back on A&E this Sunday, April 26th for its third season, and it's already promising to be vastly different from the last two with an all-new cast of coaches and aspiring Superstars. Kevin Owens and Natalya will be replacing The Undertaker and Michelle McCool, but Booker T and Bubba Ray Dudley will be staying on board to help scout and cultivate the talent of tomorrow.
Ahead of the season premiere, WrestleRant caught up with Dudley about what viewers can expect to see this season, his advice to talent that have been released, the art of getting over, his thoughts on Oba Femi's rapid rise, and more. |
