A bribe? That's a blow! (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

backhander

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'a bribe?' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a blow' is the second definition.
(I know that backhander is a type of blow)

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for backhander that I've seen before include "Bribe -- a dark bench (anag)" , "sweetener" , "court action" , "Bribe (in court?)" , "Bribe - tennis stroke" .)
