First match of the night for Backlash is Rhea Ripley defending the Raw Women’s Championship against Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match. Charlotte comes out giving Cruella Devil vibes with her gear and using great heel mannerisms to get under the skin of her 2 opponents before the bell rings. All 3 women came out swinging hard, Ripley and Asuka teaming up to dish punishment to Charlotte. Their alliance doesn’t last long as the animosity between those two is brought back to the surface. The fight spills out to the floor allowing Charlotte to hit her patented moonsault on Ripley and Asuka. The fight heads back into the ring where Charlotte plans on a second dive off the top rope, but she was met by both Asuka and Rhea who hit a top rope superplex on her. All 3 women get to their knees and exchange punches. Charlotte hits a double natural selection on both opponents and scores a 2 count when pinning both women at the same time. A flurry of offense leads to a mad dash from Asuka trying to get one of her opponents to tap out to the Asuka lock. Asuka knocks Charlotte to the apron and runs into a big boot. Askua staggers back form being stunned by that big boot to be put in a riptide by Ripley for the win.
