Trish Stratus explains her betrayal of Becky Lynch​

Last week on Monday Night Raw, shockwaves reverberated throughout the WWE Universe as Trish Stratus suddenly assaulted Becky Lynch.

Trish Stratus was filling in for Lita after Lita was mysteriously attacked backstage prior to teaming with Lynch and defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

After Lynch and Trish Stratus lost, the WWE Hall of Famer blindsided The Man, leaving the WWE Universe aghast.

On Raw, the WWE Universe will be waiting with bated breath as Trish Stratus will reveal the reasons behind her actions.

How many more shockwaves will Trish Stratus send?

Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory to throw hands once more​

United States Champion Austin Theory will renew an old rivalry on Monday night as he faces Bobby Lashley.

Theory and Lashley had successful WrestleMania weekends, as Theory retained his title against John Cena, and Lashley won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

Theory and Lashley are no strangers to each other, having battled multiple times over the last year.

Who will walk away with a monumental win?​

Said the same thing

I feel like there aren’t a lot of “must win” matches in wrestling but Cody gotta beat Brock

I think they're gonna do a rematch in Saudi so he might lose the first one at least

 

[Cwalker]

Loses to Roman
Gets beat up like a chump
Loses to Brock

If he’s still over after all that , he’s earned the title

 

[Dale]

I'd feel more confident in saying Cody wins if we actually knew what the actual plan for the NOC ple is.

 

[Jimmy King]

Seth and Miz have had some decent matches together in the past, so hopefully this is no different.

[Sabretooth]

I really don’t know if they want Cody and Brock to be a one match feud. I guess Cody could win the first match and Brock could still beat him up setting up a second match that Brock wins and then cody wins the third. I doubt it’s just one and done at Backlash

 

[Sabretooth]

Or Backlash might end in DQ
