The following is an official match preview from WWE.
Match preview[]
Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed are set to challenge Austin Theory in an absolute free-for-all for the United States Championship at WWE Backlash.
On The Grandest Stage of Them All, Theory picked up a career-defining WrestleMania victory when he retained the star-spangled title against "The Greatest of All Time" John Cena. In contract, although Lashley won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on WrestleMania SmackDown, he was denied a moment of his own at The Showcase of The Immortals, which seemed to fuel his fury when he took on Theory on the April 17 edition of Raw.
Before the matchup could be decided, however, the massive Bronson Reed suddenly reared his head, clobbering Lashley and ending the contest with no winner.
United States Champion Austin Theory is truly on the top of his game. But can he withstand the intense challenge of both The All Mighty and the massive Reed with no champion's advantage?
