Two new matches announced for WWE Backlash
Two new matches are set for next weekend in Tampa.
On SmackDown, Sami Zayn brought the Gingerbread Man outfit to the ring and eventually became irate over being disrespected. He took out his frustrations on the Gingerbread Man outfit, ripping it apart. Trick Williams came to the ring for the “save” but somehow determined the Gingerbread Man was “injured” as if he were an actual physical being. Later backstage, Trick Williams appeared at WWE’s medical area and said Zayn had crossed a line, setting up their match for next Saturday.
Later, the announcers confirmed that the Gingerbread Man had “died” and a funeral would be held next week on SmackDown.
Also on Friday, The Miz and Kit Wilson were once again fooled by Danhausen, falling for a trap they had set up for him and covering themselves in powder as a result. As Danhausen was throwing out merchandise, the two arrived and started to argue with one another, with The Miz saying he wanted to become Danhausen’s mentor. But it was all a trap as Miz laid out Danhausen with the skull crushing finale, leaving him laying.
Backstage, Nick Aldis told Danhausen he could face the two at Backlash, but would need a tag team partner.
