The WWE universe is buzzing with excitement as SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has made some significant additions to the WWE Backlash 2026 lineup. The highly-anticipated event, set to take place on May 9 in Tampa, has just gotten a whole lot bigger. In a move that is sure to delight fans, Aldis has announced not one, but two new matches to be added to the already stacked card.
A US Title Rematch for the Ages
First up, it’s a United States Championship rematch that will have every WWE fan on the edge of their seats. As the dust settles on a highly contested title match between current champion, Ricochet, and challenger, Bronson Matthews, it seems that the rivalry is far from over. Aldis has confirmed that the two superstars will face off once again at Backlash, with Matthews looking to finally claim the title that has eluded him for so long.
According to sources close to the situation, Matthews has been training harder than ever before, determined to finally stand tall as the US Champion. “Bronson has been putting in the work, both in and out of the ring,” revealed a WWE insider. “He’s hungrier than ever for that title, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.”
Danhausen’s Tag Team Challenge
In another surprise addition to the Backlash card, it’s been announced that the eccentric and enigmatic, Danhausen, will be teaming up with his partner, Wolfgang, in a handicap match against none other than the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. With their unorthodox style and a penchant for causing chaos, Danhausen and Wolfgang are sure to bring a unique brand of mayhem to the table.
“It’s going to be a wild ride, folks,” said Danhausen in a backstage interview. “The Usos may think they’re the best team in the WWE, but they’re in for a rude awakening when they step into the ring with us. We’re not just here to lose, we’re here to make a statement.”
