The first title match for WWE Backlash on May 4 has been confirmed, as World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest announced on the April 15 episode of WWE RAW that he would be defending his title against Jey Uso. Uso earned his title shot by defeating Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, and Bronson Reed in a four-way match on the same episode of RAW. CM Punk’s interference in the match cost McIntyre the victory and directly led to Uso’s win.
Priest won the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE WrestleMania 40 by cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre, who had just dethroned Seth Rollins. McIntyre was attacked by CM Punk, allowing Priest to capitalize and leave with the title.
In addition to the World Heavyweight Championship match, Cody Rhodes is also set to defend his title at Backlash. The challenger for Rhodes will be determined on the April 19 episode of WWE SmackDown, where LA Knight will face AJ Styles.
