WWE Backlash 2020 results: Winners, losers and titles held
The latest WWE event saw an epic headliner and several major titles up for grabs.
After a year out in 2019, Backlash is back to pit top wrestlers from WWE's SmackDown and Raw rosters against each other, with some major titles up for grabs.
The headliner was the latest clash between Randy Orton and Edge, who have been at the centre of an escalating feud for the past few months, set up in previous matches at Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 36.
