When & where is WrestleMania Backlash 2022 taking place?

WrestleMania Backlash 2022 is WWE's next premium live event following their biggest show of the year.

The Backlash event first premiered in 1999 and continued to be a yearly event until 2009. In 2016, it was restarted but was rebranded last year in 2021. Instead of Backlash, it is now called WrestleMania Backlash.

Now, with WrestleMania done, fans are waiting for the next event to see the new storylines started by the company come to a head.

With Roman Reigns unifying the WWE and Universal Championships, Bianca Belair defeating Becky Lynch, and Ronda Rousey losing to Charlotte Flair, there are bound to be several interesting plots heading into the event.

Let's look at when and where the event will take place.
