What happened
Bron Breakker defeated Seth Rollins at WWE Backlash on Saturday after interference from The Vision, according to ESPN's live event post and contemporaneous event coverage.

WWE's preview framed the bout as the latest chapter in a feud that began when Breakker turned on Rollins and forced him out of The Vision.
Why it matters
The result strengthens Breakker's position coming out of WrestleMania season and hands Rollins another setback in a rivalry built around betrayal and revenge.
