WWE news reveal the go-home Raw show to the upcoming Backlash pay-per-view takes place tonight from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. There are a huge list of big names due to appear. Many of the biggest bouts to take place at the upcoming event have already been planned, which means tonight is the last opportunity to add intrigue.
WWE News: Edge & Christian Set To Appear
The most eye-catching segment that has been revealed by the WWE for tonight’s episode of Raw is the announced return of Christian. Christian and Edge will be hosting a special version of the Peep Show, with the segment building towards Edge’s match with Randy Orton on Sunday night.
The segment is set to be one of the must-see moments from Raw tonight, with Christian also having a heated rivalry with Orton in the past. This segment will be brilliant for building anticipation ahead of the match on Sunday, and it would be hard to see Orton not making an appearance at some point.
WWE News: Women’s Action Takes Centre Stage
There will also be a host of top-quality women’s action on Raw tonight. Bayley and Sasha Banks are advertised to make an appearance, after the two SmackDown superstars dethroned Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross on last Friday’s episode. It will be interesting to see which tag team answers the call, with The Iconics consistently been involved with Bliss and Cross over the last couple of weeks.
There will also be another return to Raw for Charlotte Flair, as she will be taking on Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship. The match will take place less than 24 hours after Charlotte lost her NXT Women’s title to Io Shirai. There could be shenanigans at some point considering Nia Jax will be challenging Asuka on Sunday.
WWE News: Last Showdown Between Lashley/McIntyre
The WWE Champion is also advertised to appear, with McIntyre set to respond to Bobby Lashley’s actions from last week. Last week’s episode went off the air as Lashley had McIntyre in the full nelson, and it’s hard to see past the Scot retaliating this evening.
The biggest question regarding their match on Sunday will be whether Lana eventually manages to cost Lashley the title. There will also be an announcement regarding the US Title match at Backlash, with the likely scenario seeing Kevin Owens, Angel Garza and Andrade taking on Apollo Crews.
