WWE Backlash 2026 Review, Highlights and Grades: Danhausen Wasted Our Time

WWE Backlash took place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, live on ESPN Unlimited, at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida.

It all started with Adam Pearce gazing at a large, unsightly-looking crate sitting upright backstage, interrogating a poor, gawky intern about the whereabouts of this crate, surmising that the best course of action would be, as is customary in this great country, to simply dump the problem on somebody else. That somebody else would be Nick Aldis, the General Manager of SmackDown. Now, it's unlikely Aldis is going to be able to do much of anything of consequence with this large box, given the clear instructions to NOT open this crate until Februar...
