Updated WWE Backlash 2024 match card following SmackDown - The Bloodline added, two titles on the line (April 26)

The latest episode of WWE SmackDown brought a major development to the match card of the Backlash 2024 Premium Live Event. One of the primary additions to the card was the inclusion of The Bloodline in a tag team bout.

The match was announced after Kevin Owens launched an attack on Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga, seeking revenge for the latter duo's assault on him the previous week. This led to Owens and Tonga exchanging blows before dragging each other into the ring, where The Enforcer helped Tama in viciously attacking The Prizefighter.

However, Randy Orton interfered and saved KO from The Bloodline. This heated altercation ultimately resulted in SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, along with WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long, announcing a tag team match for Backlash France, where The Viper and The Prizefighter will be teaming up to take on Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga.

Apart from this, it was also announced that Bayley would defend her Women's Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Naomi and Tiffany Stratton. Additionally, after weeks of feuding with Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair, The Kabuki Warriors, consisting of Asuka and Kairi Sane, will defend their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship against them at Backlash France.

The updated match card of Backlash 2024 following SmackDown is as follows:

• Cody Rhodes (c) vs. AJ Styles - Singles match for the Undisputed WWE Championship
• Damian Priest (c) vs. Jey Uso - Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
• Bayley (c) vs. Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton - Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Championship
• The Kabuki Warriors (c) vs. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill - tag team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
