Backlash is coming on May 10. The main event will be Randy Orton facing John Cena for the Undisputed Title. Reading that the draft could take place after Backlash.
Gunther has been suspended indefinitely. (he is taking a break.) Chelsea Green is also listed as away for now.
Per Doctor’s Orders, Adam Pearce is not there tonight with Nick Aldis taking the reins.
Pat and Cole are at the announcer’s desk. Alicia Taylor, as always taking care of Ring Announcing.
Seth is opening the show tonight with Paul Heyman and Braun Brekker. (Becky has turned heel, could she join them?) This is interesting, Sami Zayn just walked out (not medically cleared). Seth told Sami that he can join them, or he will be a target. (Did read about a possible Heel turn for Sami)
Rhea is in action tonight, facing Roxanne Perez. Not sure if this is perminate for Roxy. Roxy has no clue what she is up against. Roxy has been taking it to Rhea, but you know Rhea won’t take much more. Giulia got out to the ring. Just as Rhea was about to pin Roxy, Guilia stopped it, but here comes Iyo to the rescue. I can see a tag match in the future.
Judgment Day News — reading that there will be a feud between Finn/Dom to start after Backlash.
Heel Logan Paul is on his way to the ring. Jackie Redmond is chatting with A-Town Down Under. Logan is in the ring and starts running his mouth. Jey has to be around; he won’t put up with any of this. According to Logan, Jey is not what a true champion looks like. Logan wants Jey’s belt. Logan would not shut up, so Jey super kicked him putting him on his arse.
The War Raiders in Tag action with Judgement Day (Finn/J.D), The New Day (current title holders) sitting at the ringside. Give the assist to Penta and, War Raiders with the win. There is a rematch on the way between War Raiders/New Day.
Becky Lynch is on her way to the ring to explain why she attacked Lyra after the tag team rematch. Becky is going off about Bayley, how she is not good enough. Becky admitted it was she who attacked Bayley. Not sure if this will be a fued between Becky/Lyra or if Bayley will become part of this. Lyra has told Becky that she will put the Women’s Intercontinental Title on the line at Backlash. Lyra took it to Becky, but Becky did a runner.
Stephanie Vaquer is facing Ivy Nile. I read that Stephanie was given a choice of where she wanted to go, straight to the WWE or to NXT. With Steph in the RAW, it makes me wonder if they are testing the waters to see how she would do. (Evolution is coming in July) Chad is interfering to keep saving the match for Ivy. I will give credit where credit is due. Ivy held her own, and Steph with the win.
Pat on the mic, Adam gave him permission to chat after what happened last week. Pat called Nick out. Pat wants Gunther in the ring. OMG, Pat in a match against Gunther at Backlash.
Sami just told Seth No, he will be a champion one day, but will do it on his own. Guess Sami has been cleared. I can’t see Sami winning this, but weird stuff has happened. Braun lays out Sami, the ref had to stop the match. Bad enough, the spears, Seth just stomped Sami. No one on RAW is safe.
