TheBacklash Premium Live Eventfeatured loads of surprises from top to bottom and now it appears that quite a few independent wrestlers worked the Backlash event as well.
According to a report by Fightful Select, several independent wrestlers were present at the show. Nixi XS, Mike Outlaw, Moses The Deliverer, and Skylar Sparks appeared on-screen as medics. Campbell Meyer and Brandon Tolle were also in attendance.
This comes after we previously reported that Austin Mulitalo, an independent wrestler currently holding the NWA WLW Tag Team Titles alongside Blade Lennox, was the last person to get RKOd by Randy Orton during Backlash this week.
Opportunities like this are important for independent wrestlers because they get valuable experience at a major televised event. It also gives them a chance to make connections with WWEs talent scouts and production staff, which could help their careers in the future.
Therefore, we will have to wait and see whether WWE will end up eventually signing any of the abovementioned independent wrestlers, as it would definitely help their careers in a big way.
Did you notice any of these indie wrestlers during Backlash? What are your thoughts on WWE bringing in independent talent for these roles? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
