Early Saturday, WWE added a new match to its WWE Backlash card. Newly crowned US Champion Jacob Fatu will defend his title for the first time in a Fatal 4-Way match.
The match was decided after the #1 contender for the US title match was interrupted during the Friday Night SmackDown (May 2, 2025 episode).
It was revealed in a backstage segment when Fatu and Solo Sikoa were talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Aldis.
Aldis decided that "The Samoan Werewolf" will put his title on the line in a fatal four-way match against Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, and LA Knight.
Priest got involved in the match that saw former US Champion Knight take on McIntyre, who showed himself in the title picture after his WrestleMania Sin City Street Fight victory over Priest.
Priest pulled McIntyre out of the ring, causing the disqualification and awarding the victory to "The Scottish Warrior."
Following the match, Fatu showed up and attacked Knight and Priest.
Fatu captured the title, his first singles gold in WWE, from Knight at WrestleMania 41.
Backlash will take place next Sunday (Cairo time) at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
The event will be headlined by all-time-classic between John Cena and Randy Orton for the WWE Champion.
