Semi finals for the women's title
Becky "the man" Lynch vs Lana
In what most would think that Becky would dominate this match from start to finish. Well this is how the match started but Lana did put up a fight and did not go down easy. Lana did hit her finisher and used a dirty pin, but it was not enough to keep the lasskicker down. Becky made an example out of Lana and showed Mandy Rose what she is in for this Sunday at Backlash. Locking Lana in the disarmor making Lana tap instantly.
Winner: Becky

Xavier Woods vs Jason Jordan vs Titus O'Neil
This match was a prime example as superstars that are underrated as Jordan, Woods, and O'Neil did not disappoint this sold out crowd. Jason Jordan was quick on the attack striking both men from the ring of the bell. Soon after this though as team work would be what Woods and O'Neil used to expose of Jason Jordan. The uniondale crowd would see a whole different side of Jason Jordan as he look to snap and went into ruthless mode and attack both men with a chair and sledgehammer. Jordan would throw Titus out of the ring and hit Xavier with his finisher. As Jason Jordan was celebrating he came face to face with current WWE European champion Shelton Benjamin as the two will do battle at Backlash for the title.
