WWE has an updated card for WWE Backlash following this week’s episode of Smackdown. Friday night’s episode featured the announcement of a WWE United States Championship rematch for next weekend’s PLE.

The episodes saw Sami Zayn secure a shot at the championship he lost to Trick Williams at WrestleMania when he destroyed the Gingerbread Man costume. Williams came down to the ring, but Zayn was able to escape.
