i bring it up because it's really the encapsulation of 'what wwe does with people for the sin of asking for their release' but if nobody's actually seen it since it happened:

Fightful Select has learned some additional plans and notes on tonight's WrestleMania Backlash. You can also discuss the event with our Fightful Select community below.

This article will constantly be updated throughout the night with exclusive news

The matches are listed internally as this order. However we can't confirm it's the order the matches will air:

- Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes

- Bobby Lashley vs. Omos. MVP is set to accompany Omos

- AJ Styles vs. Edge

- Smackdown Women's Title Match: Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair I Quit Match

- Madcap Moss vs. Happy Corbin

- Six Man Tag Match: RKBro & Drew McIntyre vs. The Bloodline

Backstage notes

- It's worth noting that as with any wrestling show, these are subject to change. This was as of three hours before showtime, and PPVs often see changes to lineups and get additions.

- Internally, there aren't additional matches or kickoff matches listed, though we can't confirm that none will be added.

- As of this afternoon there was still not a finish decided for a couple of the big matches on the card.

- Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins and the Six-Man tag were scheduled to get the most time, with Omos vs. Lashley and Moss vs. Corbin scheduled for the least. The other two matches were set to fall in the middle as of this afternoon.

- There were no plans as of Saturday to change the six-man tag into Winner Take All

What about the other women's title(s)? I saw something floating around how it's been like a year since the IC title has been on PPV (insider term) and 9 months for the US title.

Bummed I gotta wait for Becky Asuka but Cody/Seth will be good and the six man tag will be great. Ronda/Charlotte will be funny, don’t care about the rest.

I'm sure the six man tag will be good because those are all good wrestlers, but the fact there are no stakes attached to it means it should've been on TV and not main eventing a PPV. Or PREMIUM LIVE EVENT

Seems like Seth and Cody will be the only match worth watching.

Is reigns not wrestling more due to a nagging injury or does he believe that there is no one left to defend against since he is the dominant tribal chief?

They pushed Bianca's defense forward to sell more tickets for the Knoxville RAW a couple of weeks ago. Because originally I guess they were planning on running it at Backlash, but...yeah. Also I feel like they only have one women's match on the card because they want Charlotte/Ronda to not get completely overshadowed again. Which any women's match on the RAW side would do very easily.

Backlash 2001 had Raven vs Rhyno, as well as the Duchess of Queensbury rules match. So it's better than any premium live event ever.

it's amazing that Austin made his huge return and – unless I'm mistaken – didn't hit a single stunner. (Instead he just chaired all the McMahon goons.) Quite the balls to draw that out.

I would not be shocked if Edge's stable is holding all the singles gold on RAW into Wrestlemania at this point. Which would suck since this stable is bad.
