Backlash 2018 - The Results



In the locker room, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are figuring out who they should team up with when The Miz shows up. He says he could not be happier about them due to their mind games with Seth Rollins and Finn Balor. Miz looks back on the day he knew Bo and Curtis were destined to become The Miztourage, and he hopes they can do something as a team again tonight. Bo Dallas tops Curtis from following Miz, telling Miz they are not the supporting cast in his story anymore.

In the locker room, Bayley is met by Sasha Banks. Bayley says she is done fighting with her and wants her in her corner with Ruby Riott. Sasha thinks this is too convenient. Bayley says she can handle Ruby like she did Sasha. Bayley says she wanted to extend the olive branch after what happened to her at the hands of The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan, Liv Morgan), but if she is too pigheaded to admit it, she will do this herself. Sasha tells Bayley she is on her own.

Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and SmackDown Live General Manager Paige field questions from social media. Angle says his dream opponent in this generation is Daniel Bryan, and says he has wanted to wrestle him for about five years. Paige says the hardest part of being General Manager is calling things down the middle, and Angle says the hardest thing is having so many hours in the show per week. Paige says she is looking forward to "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura in a no-disqualification match for the WWE Championship as well as Charlotte Flair vs. Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Angle is looking forward to Alexa Bliss vs. Nia Jax for the Raw Women's title and Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe.

Elias is in the ring. He claims that he is close friends with Bruce Springsteen and that they talk about a lot of things, and that Bruce always mentions that he is from New Jersey. Elias says the state is a toilet, and says he has told him to tune in tonight for the song he is about to play. As he tells everyone to be quiet, people cheer. He eventually threatens to leave, but as he goes from leaving to getting back to his stool, the crowd alternates between cheering Elias and booing him. Suddenly, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) shows up, and Xavier Woods gives Elias props for his music. Kofi asks Elias if he wants to jam with The New Day. Elias asks if they want to jam with Elias, but Xavier says they want to walk with Elias. Elias says he is a solo act, then The New Day start playing the cymbals, drums and trombone. Elias calls a halt to the music and says there is potential for them to open for him, but tonight is his night. Before Elias can play, however, Aiden English interrupts. Aiden English introduces Rusev, then Elias calls to a halt to the music again. Rusev says he and Aiden do whatever they want, and there is only one person who celebrates a holiday in his honor as he calls Elias a "bootleg Bob Dylan." Elias gets irritated and goes back to playing, but he is interrupted a third time by No Way Jose. Titus O'Neil, Apollo Crews, Dana Brooke, Tyler Breeze and Fandango are part of No Way Jose's conga line. Elias calls for the music to be stopped, then says tonight is his night and he demands nobody interrupt him again.
