Hot off the heels of WrestleMania 42, WWE pivots to Backlash, where championships will be defended, tensions will rise, and an announcement will be made.

“WWE Friday Night SmackDown” is airing the 19th episode of its 28th season on Friday at 8 p.m. You can watch live as it premieres on the USA Network on Sling TV or DirecTV (free trial). This week will be the final episode before “WWE Backlash,” which acts as a sort of “response” to WrestleMania.

There is reportedly “significant internal pushback” from WWE creative to the Gingerbread Man, whose funeral is tonight.
