WWE Backlash 2023 results: The Bloodline wins despite themselves as Solo gets it done

Did The Usos redeem themselves at Backlash?

Michael Cole wonders what mission Solo Sikoa was given by Roman Reigns and if he’ll have an agenda separate from that of The Usos. Strangely, that means the team of Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be more united than the actual brothers.

Jey Uso and Sami Zayn start things off, getting their tense chemistry out of the way immediately. The Usos do some posing for the crowd and get a mixed reaction.

As soon as Sami gets some momentum, Jimmy Uso tags in, as does KO. He unloads on Jimmy in the corner, crotch chops the enemy corner and hits a standing senton.

Now Riddle is in to hit a gutwrench suplex before Sami re-enters the fray. Sami connects on an elbow off the middle rope, then Solo tags himself in. That proves a good move for the heels, as he is able to beat down Zayn until he’s in trouble in the enemy corner.

A “we want Roman” chant breaks up, with Jimmy humorously responding “he’s not here.” Sikoa tags himself in again and methodically stays on Sami. Jimmy sneaks in a kick to the face while the ref isn’t looking, then covers Zayn for two once he becomes legal.

Zayn is battling for all he’s worth, but The Usos see him crawling for a tag and eliminate the possibility by taking KO off the apron and smashing his back into the steel steps.

Riddle gets the hot tag, finally, and runs wild on both Usos. He kicks Sikoa off the apron and hits the Floating Bro onto the entire Bloodline. Alas, he flips back into the ring right into a Jimmy superkick and has to kick out at two.

Jimmy climbs to the top but takes an overhead release superplex from Riddle. By now, KO has made it back to the apron, and he tags in for a swanton bomb and another two count.

Owens’ flurry leads to a Popup Powerbomb, though Jey is able to kick out at two. KO tries for a swanton bomb on Jey, who gets the knees up and leaves both men on the mat. A superkick battle breaks out, though Owens ends it with a clothesline.

Zayn is in for a Blue Thunder Bomb on Jimmy, good for another near fall. He finds himself in trouble against both Usos on the top rope, and he lands right in a double superkick. Jey covers and finds it’s not enough.

Whatever the Usos have planned next we’ll never know, as Solo and Jey get into a fight tagging themselves in. Sikoa does not look happy about it, and won’t like that Helluva Kick either.

Jey eats a Helluva Kick too, but Solo manages to break up the pin. Sikoa sees Zayn down but heads toward his brother instead. The other faces are back in, and Owens eats a Samoan Spike. Solo turns and almost hits the Samoan Spike on Jey, who gets right in his face.

Sami intervenes and nearly gets rolled up for three. Jey tries to fly from the top but hits Zayn’s knees, who rolls him up for two.

Riddle has Jey in trouble but doesn’t realize Solo has tagged himself in. He nails Riddle with a Samoan Spike, and the Bloodline wins despite their internal issues.
