Zombies take over WWE at Wrestlemania Backlash. The Undead performed the role of Lumberjacks during the match between The Miz and Damien Priest.

The Miz was scheduled to face Damien Priest in a Lumber jack match tonight. Usually, wrestlers that aren’t  booked on the show take up on that role. Tonight however, it was the ‘Army of the Dead’ who made sure that both wrestlers would remain inside the ring.

Earlier in the night, Miz and John Morrison ran into some Zombies backstage. The Undead chased them to the ring and settled outside it. They scared the commenatators as well before bringing their focus back to the ring and remained there until the end of the match.

The match was far from a five star bout but it was entertaining and that’s what wrestling is all about.

Priest came out victorious with Hit The Lights for the pin.

In case if you’re wondering why there were Zombies tonight, the reason is that WWE were plugging the “Army of the Dead” movie, which is a sponsor. Which is why the graphics around the arena seemed to represent the city setting from the movie.

Dave Batista had also hinted at it earlier in the day tweeting that he said his “friends” would be here tonight.
