Sign It Up: New Title Match Confirmed For WWE WrestleMania Backlash

Put it on the list. We are done with WrestleMania but WWE is not done with using the show’s name. In addition to two nights of WrestleMania, there is also WrestleMania Monday Night Raw and WrestleMania SmackDown. That is four nights of the WrestleMania banner, but now there is another show called WrestleMania Backlash. Now we know something else to expect on the show.

This week on Monday Night Raw, Sonya Deville announced that she would be the next challenger for Bianca Belair and the Raw Women’s Title. This week on the Bump, the match was officially confirmed for WrestleMania Backlash on May 8. Deville has only wrestled five televised matches since August 2020 due to dealing with an ongoing legal case. She has since returned to wrestling on WWE live events.

Opinion: After Monday, this was more a matter of time than anything else and that isn’t a bad thing. Deville as the first challenger to Belair is a little weird, but at least it is a fresh match and something that could work out well. It is also nice to not burn off a top challenger in a match that Belair isn’t likely to lose, so this is about as logical of an idea as they have.

What do you think of the match? How do you see it going? Let us know in the comments below.
