Episode 8: Backlash

from Back-Seat Wrestling · host The Brothers Smith

Tampa has been and gone and we've got plenty to say.In this episode, we break down WWE Backlash 2026 in full, fresh from the Benchmark International Arena, from the in-ring storytelling to the booking decisions that are starting to shape the rest of the year.We dive into:Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu: A gruelling title match that ended in controversy, and a Samoan Werewolf well and truly off the leash.Bron Breakker vs Seth Rollins: Is this Breakker's moment, and where does Rollins go from here?Trick Williams holding off Sami Zayn again: How long can this story go on, and when will it please end?Iyo Sky vs Asuka: Enemies turned friends turned enemies turned friends, and one of the best women's matches in a while.Danhausen and the chaos that came with him: Because of course we're talking about it.A show that leaned hard into wrestling over spectacle, and was better for it. As always, this is our honest post-show reaction, part breakdown, part banter, and the usual Back-Seat pint to wash it all down.Was this the best non-WrestleMania PLE of the year so far? We think so.
