Episode notes
We’ve barely had time to breathe after WrestleMania but on we go to Backlash.
There haven’t been many matches announced, but things look really solid so far: Becky Lynch will go after Lyra Valkyria’s Intercontinental Title and Drew McIntyre and LA Knight will go after Jacob Fatu’s U.S. Title.
And speaking of the U.S. Title— let’s mourn Chelsea Green’s championship run and hope that Zelina Vega can effectively pick up the baton.
