I know Cody wants to bring back the Winged Eagle. However, considering the new WWE Championship is less than a year old, this seems unlikely.

WWE has this habit of making their logo's the dead center of attention on belts. Even the new WHC looks off because of the logo.

I'm convinced that if WWE kept WCW has a side project after Invasion, they would've made a big gold belt with "WCW" slapped directly in the center of it.

Also, without their manager/leader, Indus Sher is doomed.

Welp, that was quick. Indus Sher released from WWE today.

I cant decide if the backlash card is great or trash lol

at first glance it looks awful, and then thinking about it it looks like it could hit on a lot, then thinking about it more I switch back to awful

To be fair, we only have 2 world title matches locked in. The tag title matches could easily just be done on Raw or Smackdown in favor of other matches. Plus, we surely gotta have something of a non title match added in there somewhere, especially with McIntyre or Knight.

In other events, Broken Matt Hardy returned to TNA last night in their ppv's main event

Grand Slam updates: No new Grand Slam champs have happened since Finn Balor last September. The following WWE stars are just one title away though:

Cody (US title)
Priest (IC title)
Strowman (US title)
Lashley (Tag title)
Sheamus (IC title)
Nakamura (World title)
McIntyre (US title)
Big E (US title - return to action unlikely though)

The following are 1 title away from being 2x Grand Slam champions (joining Miz, Rollins, and technically Jericho and Jeff Hardy)
Rey Mysterio (World title)
Kofi (World title)

Finally saw the PPV, good stuff. Lots of great, some crap mixed in, but definitely good overall. I dont think its possible to choose between the match here and Cody/Roman as they were both perfect in their own ways.

I like Strickland and Im glad he got his moment

raw really needs that draft to hit lol

Also not spoke on as much but WWE introduced the Speed Championship, which is basically a faster version of the WCW Television title with matches for the belt being 5 minutes long and all matches for the title are exclusively on Twitter. The inaugural champion is Ricochet after beating Gargano in the tournament finals.

In a span of one month, only 3 people still have championships...

Champions on April 4th: Reigns, Rollins, Gunther, Logan, Sky, Ripley, Balor, Priest, Asuka, Sane

Champions today (before Backlash starts): Rhodes, Priest, Zayn, Logan, Bayley, Lynch, Miz, Truth, Theory, Waller, Asuka, Sane, Ricochet

I got to hand it to Cody. It was hard for me personally to shake the judgment I had of him in my mind from the 2007-2010 days. But the past year he has put on three of my favorite matches ever in lesnar at summer slam, mania this year, and now with AJ. He has proven you can get out of the friend zone
