According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Backlash will indeed take place on the rearranged date and location of June 23 in Tacoma. It was previously reported that the event would be cancelled due to WWE’s first Saudi Arabia event of 2019, but it would appear as if that isn’t the case.

“The San Diego pay-per-view which was Backlash for June 16th is now a house show. They didn’t want to do — I guess the idea is they didn’t want to do two pay-per-views in a row… two weekends in a row it would have been June 7th and the 16th so they moved the Backlash to the 23rd and they’re booking it in Tacoma on the 23rd and San Diego getting a house show.”
