The Backlash: France Pay Per View has just been held. Because it was a European one, it started at a reasonable time (5:30pm) instead of some god-awful hour after midnight. The results were:

SPOILER:

• First up was a Tag Team match which pitted Kevin Owens and Randy Orton against The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga). However, the match started before all four men got into the ring, which resulted in SmackDown General manager Nick Aldis declaring it to be a Tag Team Street Fight. It ended when Solo Sikoa [aided by a debuting Tomga Loa] hit Kevin Owens with a Samoan Spike to gain the win for The Bloodline
• This was followed by a Triple threat match for the WWE Women's Championship which ended when Bayley defeated Naomi (via pinfall) and Tiffany Stratton to retain the title
• The third fight was a Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship where Damian Priest retained the title by defeating Jey Uso by pinfall
• The penultimate match was a Tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship where Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill defeated The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) to gain the title
• The main event of the evening was a Singles match for the Undisputed WWE Championship which saw Cody Rhodes defeat AJ Styles to retain the belt

The next scheduled PPV will be the 11th time the WWE has appeared in Saudi Arabia. It is due to be the 'King And Queen Of The Ring' on May 25th - the first 'King' event since 2015 and the first time the 'queen' has been contested
