New matches have been announced for the Backlash PPV.
This week\’s episode of Raw from Nebraska saw Pat McAfee coming face to face with Gunther after their previous interaction. Both the stars exchanged words before it was announced that they\’ll meet at the Backlash PPV.
WWE also announced a rematch between \’Dirty\’ Dominik Mysterio and Penta for the IC title. This came after Dom retained his championship over the Masked Star on Raw after WrestleMania 41, with help from a returning JD McDonagh.
Another component was added to this equation later in the night, as AJ Styles informed the current champion he\’d be coming after the IC title following the PPV.
