They were going to do it at Backlash, but decided at the last minute to make it a meaningless trios match.

They did

Dave said the Backlash trios match after a teased unification was "always" the plan, and the advertised match on SD had no planned finish beyond the post-match angle of Reigns beating up Riddle and Orton to set them up as challengers to him. Early Friday they still weren't sure about the actual match itself, and eventually Vince decided on pulling the trigger on the unification

This is the rubber match, pay attention!
While it's real dumb to have a "rubber match" when one wrestler is 2-0 and the other is 0-2, no one in the past 25 years has counted house show matches for any sort of significant records. Wrestlemania X-7 was billed as Rock/Austin II, not Rock Austin 28. The Benoit/Booker T "Best of Seven" series for the TV title in 1998 had between 12 and 21 Chris Benoit vs Booker T matches depending on if you count "TV title matches between March and June 1998" or "matches after the Best of 7 Series was officially announced"

Booker and Benoit similarly had at least 20 matches during their "Best of Seven" series on Smackdown in late 2005-early 2006. House shows tend to be really repetitive, and when TV/PLE matches get repetitive the house shows get *really* repetitive.

So it's being reported that Sasha and Naomi left long before the 6 pack challenge had been announced (apparently they left before Raw had even started?), and WWE decided to go ahead and announce the match anyway, just so they could say later that Sasha and Naomi had ruined it by walking out.

Also, the Becky Lynch/Adam Pierce segment wasn't a spontaneous decision; they had it pencilled in for a few hours.

All belts should be unified. And by unified, I mean, the tag belts should be melted down into a commemorative metallic sphere that the champions carry around.
