WWE Raw to Feature Exciting Matches Ahead of Backlash

OMAHA, Nebraska — WWE Monday Night Raw returns tonight with an action-packed lineup leading up to Backlash on May 10 in St. Louis. The event airs live from the Chi Health Center at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix.

Fans can expect a dramatic episode featuring a new alliance led by Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker. General Manager Adam Pearce teased their arrival on social media, stating they have an important message for the WWE Universe. The trio aims to shift the crowd’s affections from cheers to boos.

“What is it? Let’s find out together,” said Pearce about tonight’s show, which marks the final buildup towards Backlash. The group has already taken out high-profile wrestlers like CM Punk and Roman Reigns, raising the stakes for their next move.

The match card also features the Women’s World Champion IYO SKY squaring off against Roxanne Perez in a non-title bout. Perez aims to bounce back from a challenging tag match against Rhea Ripley last week that ended in chaos.

In a highly anticipated return, Rusev will make his first WWE appearance in over five years, facing Otis from Alpha Academy. The matchup raises expectations over how quickly Rusev can assert his dominance.

Additionally, Penta will battle JD McDonagh, while Becky Lynch is set to confront Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria ahead of their title match, stirring excitement among fans.

Die-hard supporters will also be curious to see if GUNTHER returns after a previous suspension and if Pat McAfee will retaliate following a heated verbal exchange last week.

Meanwhile, updates on other major rivalries, including the one involving World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and Logan Paul, are also developing as fans await the show.

WWE Raw promises to deliver thrilling storylines and clashes tonight as the path to Backlash continues to unfold.
