As WWE Backlash approaches on May 10, the road to the premium live event is heating up. The Monday Night Raw, airing from the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, promises to be a high-stakes go-home show filled with intensity, unresolved rivalries, and major momentum shifts.
Last week’s Raw delivered several jaw-dropping moments that reshaped the landscape heading into Backlash. Logan Paul made waves by openly targeting Jey Uso and signaling his ambitions for the World Heavyweight Championship. JD McDonagh returned to in-ring action, while Bron Breakker made a major statement by defeating Sami Zayn — capped off by a shocking post-match attack led by his new ally, Seth Rollins, who hit Zayn with a punishing Curb Stomp.
