We are less than two weeks away from Wrestlemania Backlash and after last week, the Raw main event will be a triple threat match for Bobby Lashley’s WWE Title. The change came as Braun Strowman defeated Drew McIntyre, who was already challenging, to earn a title shot of his own. The show could use some more building this week so let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of Strowman being added to the Backlash title match.
Opening sequence.
MVP, Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville are in the back when Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman come in to yell at each other. Pearce flips a coin to decide who faces Bobby Lashley tonight, with Strowman winning. MVP tells Strowman to not be too confident.
Eva Marie was the highlight of Raw this week

Oh, what a lovely day.
After six long months of waiting, WWE finally pulled the trigger on airing the very first vignette alerting us to the fact that Eva Marie is back and it’s nearly time to showcase her “Eva-lution.” She’s been off the scene since 2017 and a lot has changed since then, namely the fact that there aren’t many wrestlers left who can elicit the kind of response she did.
The early reaction to her return sure makes it seem as though she’s still got it. And I can’t wait to see exactly where they go with that. It’s especially exciting because we’re probably mere months away from WWE getting back out on the road again. Rumor has it SummerSlam could be in a stadium in front of a lot of fans.

Things should be a bit more back to normal this week as Wrestlemania season is over. That is probably a good thing after last week’s show was not exactly worth bragging about. This time around we have Asuka vs. Charlotte in a match that has been done quite a few times before so let’s get to it.
Here is Drew McIntyre to get things going. We get a recap of him winning a triple threat match last week to become #1 contender to WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. After the win, he was attacked by Mace and T-Bar, with MVP looking on in approval. With the recap of last week out of the way, McIntyre recaps last week. McIntyre gets to Mace and T-Bar, but he doesn’t believe that they are the masterminds here. That would be MVP, which has McIntyre wondering if Mace and T-Bar are going to start wearing those nice suits.
