WWE News: Backlash PPV has been cancelled in an unprecedented move; Reason why revealed

Socaluncensored.com have reported that there won't be a 2019 Backlash as WWE officials do not want it to take place so close to their, as yet unannounced, Saudi Arabia show that's scheduled to take place in June

The Backlash pay-per-view WWE had scheduled for San Diego on June 16, 2019, has been cancelled. The reason for the cancellation is due to the promotion’s next Saudi Arabia event being moved to June 7, 2019, and not wanting to have pay-per-view events nine days apart according to a source in WWE.
As much as it makes sense to not have two big WWE shows taking place so close to each-other, it wouldn't be the first time WWE have had shows so close with WWE Super Show Down, Evolution, Crown Jewel and Survivor Series taking place within six weeks of each-other over October/November last year.

It's unfortunate for WWE who had booked a venue and had filed paperwork and created sections on their website for the Backlash PPV only to have to pull the event due to the Saudi Arabia show being moved, as socaluncensored go on to explain,

The Backlash pay-per-view was never officially announced by WWE but it was listed on the promotion’s touring schedule, on court paperwork WWE filed, and San Diego’s Pechanga Arena had listed it on their event calendar with updated graphics. WWE also created a webpage for it at wwe.com/wwe-backlash-san-diego which now leads to an “access denied” message rather than a page not found message.

AEW or ROH/NJPW should take that date and arena:mjlit:

- Tickets went on sale today for AEW's Fight for the Fallenevent on Saturday, July 13th. The show has not been an immediate sellout for AEW despite it taking place in a smaller 5,550 seat venue.

As of Friday afternoon, there were a good amount of seats still available on Ticketmaster
AEW has trouble selling out their own shows.:mjlol:
