WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Bringing Back Classic Event This Year

Mark your calendars. On average, WWE runs one Premium Live Event a month and you can usually pencil in a lot of the events. Some shows have been run n the same months for years now and there is nothing to suggest that they will be changing anytime soon. Occasionally you will see something else slip in though and that might be the case with a returning event.

Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed WWE will present Backlash on May 6 and King & Queen Of The Ring on May 27. WWE has not yet announced either show. Backlash, which has been called WrestleMania Backlash in recent years, is regularly the next major event after WrestleMania. King Of The Ring has been held on and off for several years, though it has only been a stand alone event once since 2002. Queen Of The Ring has never been held, though WWE did hold a Queen’s Crown tournament in 2021.

These events could be good. Check out how they have gone before:

Opinion: Backlash being around in May is no surprise, but having the King Of The Ring back, with Queen Of The Ring being there as well, is a bit of a surprise. It would be cool to have them around, if nothing else due to the storylines that can be taken out of the tournaments. The winners alone have something to do, but how many feuds can be spun off from other tournament matches?
