WWE Backlash 2026 Results: Bron Breakker Beats Seth Rollins

The opening contest saw Bron Breakker, accompanied by Paul Heyman, defeat Seth Rollins in a hard-hitting back-and-forth. Rollins took the fight to Breakker early, dumping him to the floor and hitting an outside dive before they brawled around the barricade. Breakker turned the tide by catching a Rollins springboard, planting him on the floor, and unloading with a frankensteiner, gut buster, standing moonsault, and buckle bomb. Outside the ring, Breakker hit a jumping clothesline off the apron, sending both men through the announce table. Rollins answered with a Pedigree and Stomp, and when Heyman climbed the apron to talk trash, Rollins grabbed a chair and took out Logan Paul and Austin Theory at ringside. Back inside, Breakker countered Rollins’ top-rope attempt with a spear and added a second spear for the three count.

Trick Williams Retains United States Title At Backlash 2026

Trick Williams retained the United States Championship over Sami Zayn in a rematch from WrestleMania 42. The two went back and forth early before Williams hit a neck breaker and the Book End for two. Lil Yachty’s distraction backfired when Sami hit Trick with a kendo stick and stomped him on the ground. Yachty struck Sami with a kendo stick of his own, allowing Trick to land a big boot for two. Sami answered with a DDT on the steel steps and a big boot to the back of Yachty’s head, but missed a follow-up boot on Trick. The champion connected with his finisher to retain.

Backlash 2026 Results: Danhausen And Minihausen Win

Danhausen’s mystery partner was revealed to be Minihausen, and the duo defeated The Miz and Kit Wilson in chaotic fashion. Minihausen took an early beating after The Miz sent Danhausen into the ring post, but rallied with a moonsault off the top rope. Danhausen got the hot tag, cleaned house with clotheslines, a German suplex, and a DDT to Miz before hitting his finisher on Wilson. Minihausen tagged himself in, hit a dive to the floor, and brawled to the stage where Wilson put him in the cloning machine — only for it to restart and produce several Minihausens. After Wilson countered Danhausen’s curse with a mirror, The Miz accidentally sprayed Wilson with a fire extinguisher, allowing Danhausen to finish him with a big boot.

The two embraced after the match.
