– Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reported earlier this week that WWE is set to run two premium live events in the month of May with Backlash scheduled for May 6 and then the company will come back three weeks later with the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments on May 27.
– Apart from the rare two events in one month, the other notable aspect is that the King and Queen of the Ring events will take place a day before AEW’s Double or Nothing, scheduled for May 28. Also of note is that WWE has apparently dropped the idea of calling the early May event “WrestleMania Backlash” as it did for the last two years, reverting to simply referring to it as Backlash.
