The April 27 episode of WWE RAW is shaping up to be a major show, as the road to Backlash continues with several top names set to make important appearances and compete in matches.
Roman Reigns is scheduled to respond to Jacob Fatu after last week’s shocking interruption during his championship celebration.
Fatu confronted Reigns and issued a challenge for Backlash, creating one of the biggest moments of the night and setting up a huge response from the OTC this week.
Seth Rollins is also set to open the show following his chaotic brawl with Vision last week, adding more intrigue to an already packed episode.
Joe Hendry will officially celebrate his RAW arrival with a live concert after being confirmed as part of the roster.
His concerts are known for drawing interruptions, so fans will be watching closely to see if someone decides to crash the moment tonight.
Becky Lynch is also scheduled to return after defeating AJ Lee at WrestleMania 42 to regain the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
With Backlash approaching fast, attention will turn to who may step up next to challenge The Man for the title.
Penta will go one-on-one with Rusev in a non-title match that could have major momentum implications moving forward.
Tag team action is also set as Bayley teams with Lyra Valkyria to face Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez in what should be a highly competitive match.
Tonight’s episode takes place live from the Sames Auto Arena in Laredo, Texas, with the show starting at 8 PM Eastern Time.
Fans can watch the full episode live on Netflix as WWE continues its new era on the streaming platform.
With Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Joe Hendry, and several major matches all set for one night, RAW looks like one of the biggest episodes leading into Backlash.
