Saturday Evening News Update

Happy Saturday night! It’s Backlash night in WWE, with the show starting at 7 p.m. EST. We have Cena vs Orton, Valkyria vs Lynch, McAfee vs Gunther, Dom Mysterio vs Penta and Fatu vs Knight vs Priest vs McIntyre on deck.

If you’d like to read some other Backlash stuff, I’ve watched and reviewed the 2020 “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever” between Orton and Edge for the first time. You can read it over on Substack.

Our pals at Inside the Ropes have gathered all the headlines they can find, and I’ve gone deeper and gathered four of those for you here.
