Well we're less than 17 hours away 'till Backlash according to my time. And what a Backlash it has accumulated into! Major rivalries that culminated at WrestleMania is now coming back full force as a major BACKLASH, WWE Universe!
One major match on the card this year is Ricky the Dragon Steamboat returning to the ring in a one-on-one clash with Chris Jericho! Despite what has transpired between Jericho and the Legends at WrestleMania, The Dragon has not fallen! He will face Jericho mano y mano and hopefully put him in his place! That I'm very much looking forward to.
The rivalry between the Hardys are FAR from over and tonight will be yet again an EXTREME situation between the two in an what will surely be epic I QUIT match! No pinfalls, no countouts, just an all out Extreme beat down until I Quit is called by either man! A major Backlash is coming in for Matt as his WrestleMania victory will surely be short lived! And I'm counting on it.
The Championship Chase has ended last week between Finlay and Christian and now Captain Charisma is rolling into Backlash as #1 contender for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Jack has finally been handed losses thanks to this man and it should carry on to finally resulting in the loss of his undeserved monicer as Champion. I wish Christian the best of luck tonight for putting down this All American-American APE Jack Swagger.
Kane's border-line near victory at WrestleMania has been eating him up apparently as he has a score to settle with the man who had hindered his chances and also WON the MITB ladder match. That happens to be the two-time winner CM Punk. They clash tonight in what will be an interesting match up. Could the Big Red Machine gain a little closure by beating the Straightedge Superstar? Or will it only be "So close" as CM Punk will put him out of victory's reach again?
Now we move on to one main event. For the World Heavyweight Championship. Champion John Cena vs. Edge in a Last Man Standing match. As what was proclaimed by the Champ on WWE Superstars, their rivalry has been called one of the best rivalries in WWE History. As you can tell from Cena's resiliance, a con-chair-to won't take him out. Tonight will be the breaking point for both men, as it will all end at Backlash. Their last extreme encounter was at Unforgiven in 2006 where Cena defeated Edge in his own TLC match. Tonight is yet another major match-up and Cena has all the momentum in my opinion to finally end this rivalry. Bring it home Cena!
Lastly the big one. Six man tag action. WWE Champion Triple H, Shane McMahon, and The Animal Batista vs. Randy Orton and Legacy. The twist? WWE Title is on the line! If anyone from The Game's team wins, he keeps the title, vise versa, Randy wins the title. DQ means automatic loss of the title! Well we all know The Cerebral Assassin has been backed into major corners before, and this is no different. The stips won't make him back down. And of course in recent weeks, they all haven't been seing eye to eye when it came to who should have the most right to face Orton. Though with one goal in mind, they should be able to coexist tonight so they can demolish Legacy once and for all.
A major tidal wave is roaring into the WWE for all who will deal or be dealt with the BACKLASH! Tune in tonight WWE Universe as this will be HUGE!
