How the main event ended
Reigns won with a final Spear after pulling the cover off a turnbuckle and sending Fatu into it. Earlier, Fatu had powerbombed him through the announce table and locked in the Tongan Death Grip more than once.
The finish did not end the story. After the bell, Fatu attacked Reigns again, took out the referee with a Pop-up Samoan Drop and held the World Heavyweight Title over him, according to WWE’s report of the match.
The rest of the card
Breakker opened the show by beating Rollins with a Spear and then a Torpedo Spear, after World Tag Team Champions Austin Theory and Logan Paul got involved. Williams kept the United States Championship with a Trick Shot in a rematch of his WrestleMania 42 match with Zayn.
IYO SKY beat Asuka with an Over The Moonsault. Danhausen won the tag match with a pump kick on The Miz, after a crowd of Minihausens came out of the cloning machine.
Reading WWE Backlash odds when they go up
A wrestling result is decided in advance by WWE, so a price on it reflects what bettors expect the company to book rather than who is the better athlete. That is also why these markets can move fast and why some books do not offer them at all.
Read each price as a chance before betting it. A favorite at -300 implies 75%, -150 implies 60%, and an underdog at +250 implies 28.6%. A bet is worth making only when you rate a wrestler’s chance higher than the price does, and it pays to compare books first with our sportsbook reviews.
