A change has been made to the WWE WrestleMania Backlash card.
On April 29, The Usos and RK-Bro met in the ring to sign the contract for their Tag Team Championship Unification Match at WrestleMania Backlash. Before pen could be put to paper, however, a brawl broke out between the teams after Randy Orton called Jimmy Uso a b*tch.
Roman Reigns would come out and join his cousins in the fight, but it wasn't long after that Drew McIntyre hit the ring and chased away The Tribal Chief. Later in the show, Paul Heyman was seen visiting Adam Pearce and telling him to alter the Backlash match to include Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre. Though he was hesitant, Pearce would ultimately agree after Heyman threatened to file a complaint with WWE's board.
As a result, the Tag Titles will no longer be unified on May 8. Instead, The Bloodline will face RK-Bro and Drew McIntyre in a 6-Man Tag Team Match.
