Damian Priest welcomed aliens and zombies to be lumberjacks for WrestleMania Backlash. And they listened.
As a tie in to Batista's "Army of the Dead" film, zombies were the lumberjacks for the match between The Miz and Damian Priest.
The Miz (w/ John Morrison) vs Damian Priest
Before the match the zombies surround the ring and run John off before Damian is distracted by the zombies at ringside and Miz sends him out onto the apron. Miz ends up on the floor before he gets back inside sends Damian out of the ring before Damian attacks them and gets dropped by Miz when he's back inside. Miz gets sent out of the ring and goes underneath it before going back inside and Damian clotheslines him before dropping him with a wheel kick. Miz locks in a figure four before they're both dragged out of the ring and they work together to fight off the zombies at ringside. Back inside Damian hits a Broken Arrow for two before John runs out and rocks Damian before Miz hits him with a flying knee for a near fall. Johnny takes out zombies with parkour before he's dragged over the barricade by zombies and Damian pins Miz with Hit the Lights for the win.
Winner: Damian Priest defeats The Miz via pinfall.
After the match, The zombies swarmed The Miz.
