Quick, hurry over to the WWE Network to watch the second half of this week’s NXT!
The Undisputed Era regroups.
Cole’s arm is okay, but will his ego get him caught like that again when Riddle has his chance at the championship?

Six Man Tag: Imperium VS Kushida & ???
When NXT UK’s dominating force invaded NXT USA, it was interfering with the Time Splitter’s schedule. Then after a quick brawl between them and Kushida, a challenge was issued. Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner stand united, but who has Kushida recruited to this sudden brand warfare? It’s… Breezango!

My Thoughts:
Another great NXT right here, with both hours being equally strong again! And I really like the changes to the set, such as putting commentary off to the opposite side of the ramp and having a balcony right up above them. That was a great way to debut it, too, with Undisputed Era walking out to view the fans. And I can’t wait for the day that the balcony is used in some form of Falls Count Anywhere match, because you know it will be. Lee VS Dijakovic III was rightfully the best of the bunch, and it was great for Lee to finally win. And of course Lee wins so that we can have the true tiebreaker in their fourth match overall! And that match should totally be as a #1 Contender’s match, it’s only logical. Dakota Kai did great in her return, though obviously fast to not risk her legs.
Rhea Ripley also did great in her match in the second hour, but I’m sensing Rhea might be leaning back to Heel just so she can still go after the NXT Women’s Championship regardless of who wins next week. Dakota would be in the running if Shayna wins, but even Candice VS Rhea would make for a good match at WarGames III. The Street Fight match was amazing! That was almost TakeOver worthy, but definitely contender’s match worthy. And how great it was for Riddle to win, and then give Adam Cole the what for. Their match happening next week is making that episode feel like a pseudo TakeOver in itself! And we all know why: it is to counter the AEW TV debut. The NXT Championship, NXT Women’s Championship and NXT Tag Team Championships are all on the line in the first actual two hours on TV episode, with limited commercials so that we get a touch closer to the WWE Network runtime. It’s all going to be really great.
Lorcan & Burch are back on a roll and that is great. While Oney still wants the Cruiserweight Championship, it would be great to finally see him and Burch have tag titles on NXT where their run began. Grimes VS Mendoza was great, and certainly the right move to follow up Grimes crushing Sean Maluta. Grimes of course wins to keep his story going, and this has to lead to at least a North American Championship shot in the future. And then we get a great Six Man Tag, and while I wasn’t sure who to expect to join Kushida, it was a natural move to go with Breezango. Fans love Breezango, Breezango is working to show they can be serious threats in the Tag Division, and it works to anger Imperium since they hate even remotely comedic gimmicks. The Faces win to show Imperium isn’t quite ready as a unit, but Walter attacking was also perfect. He and Kushida have to be facing off at some point, and maybe even during the big episode next week to further hype it up.
My Score: 8.9/10

It’s the WWE Backlash Countdown Show!
Join Michael Cole, Wade Barrett & Big E in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action on this highly anticipated night!
Backstage interview with Lyra Valkyria.
Byron Saxton is with The Morrigan and asks how she is feeling tonight. She looked up to Becky Lynch for so long, only for her to stab her in the back. And at the same time, Lyra has dedicated this match to Bayley. How is Lyra going to manage all her emotions? Lyra says there is so much going on in her head, but the way to deal with it is focusing on the main emotion: embarrassment. She gave herself “the ick” looking back and seeing how she ate everything Becky fed her. Becky would’ve had a friend for life in Lyra, but then Becky turned on her. And what did The Man expect? For Lyra to run home to Dublin and cry?
No! That shows Lyra that Becky underestimated her. Lyra meant it when she said she is the better wrestler now. Becky may still be the bigger star, but when that bell rings, Lyra will show that she was never a stepping stone. Becky becomes Lyra’s stepping stone, as well as the crowning name on the long list of opponents when Lyra retains the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Lyra is locked in, but will the Luck of the Irish favor her in the end?
Vic Joseph joins the panel!
The Voice of NXT helps plug Battleground, but he also gives Lyra her props. From NXT UK to NXT USA, Vic has seen Lyra achieve her potential every step of the way. The NXT Women’s Championship match between Lyra and Becky was all about someone from the NXT roster stepping up and proving herself, and Lyra did just that. Lyra took the NXT Women’s title off Becky, but will Lyra keep the Women’s Intercontinental title from Becky? Or is #BeckyHogan going to step on Lyra to get ahead?

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Dominik Mysterio VS PENTA!
Though it took a Fatal 4 Way to win it, and an Irish Ace in the hole to keep it, “Dirty Dom” thinks he is already the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time, as well as the greatest Mysterio and the greatest luchador ever.

The War Dogs are beside themselves, but the OGs of Bullet Club still got it! The War Dogs step back into the ring, they look at their “senpai” while Gedo is helped to the back. The Bucks say no hard feelings, and offer the Too Sweet. War Dogs throw it up, just to Too Sweet with each other. It seems some things aren’t “4 life” like we thought. But with the Good Brothers back in town, will things be #JustTooSweet no matter where you look?

IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: Hirooki Goto VS Zack Sabre Jr w/ Shane Haste!
The Fierce Warrior took this title from The Front Man at the New Beginning in Osaka, and the Goto Revolution has been on a roll these last few months. ZSJ wants the spotlight back, but there’s also a catch: The winner here must defend against Shingo Takagi at NJPW Dominion in June! Will it be out of the frying pan and into the fire for Goto? Or will this be ZSJ’s resurgence?

NJPW Strong Women’s Championship: Mercedes Mone VS AZM VS Mina Shirakawa!
