Mike Riley, WWE WrestleMania Backlash is this Sunday night.

It's live from the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island,

with six big matches scheduled for the

WWE Premium Live event. The biggest story for me surrounding the show at the moment is

the changing card. It was initially announced that there would be a tag team championship

unification match between Randy Orton and Matt Riddle. They are the raw tag team champions and the Usos, who are the Smackdown tag team champions.

And now that match has been changed to a six-man tag team match with Drew McIntyre teaming

with Orton and Riddle against Roman Raines and the Usos.

The internet wrestling community seemed offended by this.

Mike Riley, were you offended by this?

Yeah, a little bit because I was more looking forward to having the actual tag team

unification straight out for a tag team, two, two tag, you know, two teams, not a six-man tag.

Because when you have a six-man tag, I think that's more of a main event on Smackdown or Raw.

And for, you know, to attend a pay-per-view with the six-man tag, I'm sure the match will be good.

Don't get me wrong.

But I would prefer the tag team only and not a six-man. And then you could possibly have Drew McIntyre go up against Roman Raines one-on-one. But that's just not in the cards for WWE right now. So I didn't like it. Not a fan. So I think what happened here, very simply put, is WWE looked at the schedule and they went,

we can do a unification match in Providence, Rhode Island, a backlash, or we can wait until June
