Another ominous superstar making his presence felt is Aleister Black. The Dutch striker returned to WWE last week after previously being released in 2021. Black knocked out The Miz with a Black Mass kick, setting the stage for a one-on-one match this week.

Chelsea Green lost the WWE Women's United States Championship to Zelina Vega in a shocker last week. Green isn't shy in arguing with "SmackDown" general manager Nick Aldis, and she may be vouching for a title rematch after her reign as the inaugural WWE Women's United States Champion came to an end.

The WWE SmackDown event on May 2 took place at Des Moines, Iowa's Wells Fargo Arena. It was quite a performance, as they were ready for Backlash and had a lot to attend to. Randy Orton was the first to challenge John Cena and defeat the 17-time world champion via a rematch.
