WWE Backlash 2017 will put the best of SmackDown Live on display on Sunday, May 21 from Chicago, IL. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen a WWE SmackDown Live brand pay-per-view. However, that finally all changes on Sunday, May 21. In the wonderful wrestling city of Chicago, IL, WWE Backlash 2017 is set to transpire. And from the looks of the card in store for fans, it could be an incredible show.

Actually, the top of the card for WWE Backlash is quite interesting with Randy Orton defending the WWE Championship against Jinder Mahal. Mahal’s rise to become No. 1 Contender has been rapid. However, he’s been difficult to stop with the Singh Brothers aiding his cause. Will they prove to be the difference to give him the world title?

Meanwhile, the big event for Backlash is the in-ring debut of Shinsuke Nakamura. The King of Strong Style has been exchanging verbal jabs with Dolph Ziggler for weeks now. That time has passed, and the time to get physical and violent is here. That should be an amazing showing at WWE Backlash 2017.

Then there are matches like Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles for the United States Championship also on the card. It doesn’t stop there, but those are the highly billed affairs on the show. What else can you expect to see on the card? Here’s a look at the full match card for WWE Backlash 2017:

  • WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Jinder Mahal (w/ Singh Bros.)
  • WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match: The Usos (c) vs. Breezango
  • WWE United States Championship Match: Kevin Owens (c) vs. AJ Styles
  • Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Dolph Ziggler
  • Naomi, Charlotte, Becky Lynch vs. The Welcoming Committee (Natalya, Carmella, Tamina)
  • Baron Corbin vs. Sami Zayn
  • Luke Harper vs. Erick Rowan
  • Kickoff Match: Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English

Clearly this is a loaded show ready to take the stage in Chicago. Now onto the pressing matters, namely how you can watch WWE Backlash 2017.
