It’s the go home show for Wrestlemania Backlash. Last week wasn’t good but was the best show since mania and this show looks to top that. POOR: Raw started off with a 6 women tag match between Asuka, Mandy and Dana vs Charlotte Flair, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax.

RESULT- Asuka, Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose wins via pinfall. Aaron McKelvey WR star ratings- 1.75 Stars GOOD: Riddle showed up backstage and…

After a long time with no new faces in the 205 Live Roster, this week, 205 Live featured two debuting wrestlers. Alex Zayne made his 205 Live debut under his new ring name, and Ikimen Jiro was a part of this episode too, in what was a decent episode of 205 Live. AVERAGE: A debuting Ari Sterling (FKA Alex Zayne!) battled with Samir Singh to kick off this episode of 205 Live. Zayne won the match and showed some of his unique offense, however, it was clear he’s only getting started. The match was fairly short and could have done…

It then cut to Michael Cole, dressed as a young version of himself, and Pat McAfee, dressed in a classic Vince McMahon attire, where they spoke about what would happen tonight. MUST…
