WWE Backlash 2026 Live Chat Thread, SATURDAY May 6th (6PM Eastern, ESPN)

I thought the PLE was alright but I absolutely hated Fatu selling the spear for like 6 seconds after the pin.

Happy Bron went over Seth.

 

[Dom's cellmate]

I've been reading everywhere that Asuka is leaving, did I miss something or is everyone overreacting because she had an emotional post match segment?

Some other wrestlers have tweeted respect to her don't usually happen unless something is up.

That emotional ending plus she posted on Instagram a cryptic post with the song my way playing in the background. Dont forgot Iyo's post on X afterwards with alot of pictures of the two.

She maybe retiring or something like that.

 

[Cwalker]

Meltzer is saying she’s “semi-retired”

He doesn’t specify if that means she’s done with WWE or if she’s just transitioning to a part time role where she pops in every now and again.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Interesting.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I honestly cannot believe I missed this. But giving it a watch now. I am glad they began with the Seth/Breakker match. It has a lot of emotion and story behind it.

 

[Jacob Fox]

That was a great counter to the spear by Rollins. I really liked that.

Funny how the referee was counting them out now when he didn't even start a count in the long times they were out of the ring in the beginning.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Meh ending to that match. I am still not as big on Bron as everyone else. It seems like no one gets a revenge win anymore.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Can't say I was invested too much in Trick vs Zayn, but it was a pretty fun match. Just didn't have a lot of feeling behind it for me.

 

[Jacob Fox]

Okay well anything with Danhausen is fun

 

[Jacob Fox]

Uh, Wade, in this day and age, implying a dwarf isn't a person could be really bad for your career

 

[Jacob Fox]

lol this is just most fun. I love the Mini Hausens

 

[Jacob Fox]

Oh of course dwarf wrestling is wrestling. Poor Wade

 

[Jacob Fox]

Well too bad I already know the ending of the Asuka match

 

[Jacob Fox]

Wow that match with Iyo and Asuka... amazing match. Best one tonight and they have all been good
