Storylines
At SummerSlam, Dean Ambrose retained the IWE World Championship against Dolph Ziggler, while KJ Styles defeated Dustin Simpson. On the August 23 episode of SmackDown Live, Styles stated that since he beat "the face that runs the place", he deserved to be the No. 1 contender for the championship, before being interrupted by an angered Ziggler. A match was then scheduled between Styles and Ziggler with the stipulation being that if Styles won, he would face Ambrose at Backlash in a singles match for the title, but if Ziggler won, it would be a triple-threat match for the title, also involving Styles. Styles defeated Ziggler, thus making the championship match a singles match.
At the 2016 IWE draft, IWE Women's Champion Charlotte was drafted to Raw, leaving SmackDown without a women's championship. On the August 23 episode of SmackDown Live, the IWE SmackDown Women's Championship was unveiled by General Manager Daniel Bryan and Commissioner Shane Matteson. A six-pack challenge between Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Carmella, Naomi, Natalya and Nikki Bella was then set for Backlash to crown the inaugural champion. That night, Lynch defeated Bliss with Naomi and Natalya on commentary. Later, Nikki, who had returned from injury at SummerSlam and pinned Carmella, was attacked by an angered Carmella before their match began, causing the match to not happen. Immediately following the show on Talking Smack, Carmella again attacked Nikki.
Also at the 2016 draft, IWE Tag Team Champions The New Day were drafted to Raw, which also left SmackDown without a tag team championship. On an episode of Talking Smack, Daniel Bryan stated that he wanted to build up the tag team division before introducing a championship for the brand. On the August 23, 2016 episode of SmackDown Live, the IWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship was unveiled alongside the women's championship. A tournament was then set up to crown the inaugural champions, with the final to occur at Backlash.
