Bianca Belair, the reigning Women’s Champion of the modern era, is preparing to face Iyo Sky, and a victory could make her the longest reigning champion. However, Damage Ctrl, represented by Bayley, is determined to end Belair’s title reign. In a heated confrontation, Sky attacked Belair from behind, leading to an intense battle between the wrestlers.

As the wrestling world eagerly anticipates Backlash, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious in the upcoming matches, and who will ultimately claim the coveted World Heavyweight Title. In the latest episode of professional wrestling action, we saw a lot of exciting moments. One of the highlights was Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan making the save. It was a thrilling moment for the fans, and they were excited to see them in action.

Another exciting event was Karrion Kross, with Scarlett, ready to take out Shinsuke Nakamura. It was a fierce battle, and the audience was on the edge of their seats. Both wrestlers showed their skills, but Kross ultimately emerged victorious.

We also had a glimpse of the past when we looked back at the Usos’ loss last week. It was a reminder of the challenges that wrestlers face in the ring and the unpredictability of the game.

The tension between Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso continued to brew as Sikoa ignored Jimmy Uso, and Jey Usos was not happy about it. It will be interesting to see how this conflict plays out in the future.

The match between Street Profits and Imperium was intense. Imperium started with a blind tag, but Street Profits were able to turn the tables and win with the Cash Out move. It was a short but exciting match that left the fans cheering for their favorite wrestlers.

Finally, Cody Rhodes came out to have a chat with the audience. There was a long video showing his match against Brock Lesnar, which was a treat for the fans. Overall, it was another thrilling episode of professional wrestling that had fans on their feet. In a recent episode of professional wrestling, Cody addressed the fans in Spanish before talking about Brock Lesnar’s accomplishments. Cody’s old coach Double A stated that Lesnar is the one guarding the door to the Kingdom, and Cody wants to claim it. Lesnar came after Cody, and he still hasn’t said why he did that. Cody hopes to beat the answers out of him in their upcoming match and claim his kingdom.

During the event, Shinsuke Nakamura dared Karrion Kross to come at him. The two fighters faced off in a thrilling match, with Scarlett accompanying Kross. Kross managed to knock Nakamura outside the ring for a powerbomb against the post. Despite the setback, Nakamura kicked away and managed to hit the running knee in the corner for a two-count.

Meanwhile, Riddle spoke about beating the Bloodline at Backlash while Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens listened in silence. Sami commented that there was nothing left to say and that they were ready for their match tomorrow.

It will be interesting to see how these rivalries pan out in the upcoming events and how the fighters will manage to come out on top.

Shinsuke Nakamura

In a recent NXT match, Shinsuke Nakamura faced off against Karrion Kross. Scarlett provided a distraction for Kross, but Nakamura managed to slip out of a sleeper hold and deliver multiple kicks to Kross’s head. Although Kross attempted to cut off Nakamura with a clothesline, Nakamura finished the match with a Kinshasa at 8:48. Next, Adam Pearce welcomed Cameron Grimes to Smackdown, but Baron Corbin interrupted and mocked Grimes for being the last pick. Grimes fired back by pointing out that Corbin wasn’t picked at all, and a match between the two was made for the following week. At the Backlash press conference, Bad Bunny and Damian Priest got into a heated exchange. In another match, Zelina Vega and Rey Mysterio faced off against Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. Finn Balor also made an appearance with his Judgment Day. Vega started the match by ducking some shots to the face and hitting Ripley in the jaw, which may not have been the wisest decision. In a recent professional wrestling match between Rhea Ripley and Zelina Vega, fans witnessed a series of high-flying moves and technical maneuvers. Ripley missed a big stomp and Vega took the opportunity to take her down with a hurricanrana. As Vega waved at Ripley, Dominik and Rey entered the ring. The fans were clearly not in favor of Dominik, but that did not stop him from trying to take down his opponents. Ripley tried to get back in the game with a cheap shot from the apron, but Vega countered with a 619 attempt that was blocked by Ripley’s kick to the face.

After the break, Vega hit Ripley with a rolling kick to the head, but Ripley got back up and locked her in a chinlock. Meanwhile, Dominik hit the Eddie dance to entertain the fans. Vega managed to jawbreak her way out of Ripley’s powerbomb attempt and kicked her off, allowing Rey to tag in. Dominik tried to fight back but got hit in the head by Rey’s spinning springboard crossbody move. Despite this setback, Dominik managed to send Rey face-first into the buckle and hit a Michinoku Driver for a two-count. Vega had to save the day by breaking up the pin. Dominik attempted the Three Amigos but Rey was able to reverse the last one into a small package for the win at 9 minutes and 27 seconds.

This match showcased the technical skill and high-energy moves that professional wrestling is known for. Fans were on the edge of their seats as they watched the back-and-forth action between the wrestlers.
