A WWE hall of fame member had some words to say about Becky Lynch versus Aus-ka, so we’ll
see what they had to say. We’ll also check out the growing theories for Backlash, what
went down with Alexa Bliss and much more
One of the big storylines and feuds heading into Wrestlemania Backlash is everything going
on with Edge, AJ Styles, and the rest of Judgement Day
A big moment happened on Raw this week for the storyline that has a lot of fans already
speculating about the future of this story, so let’s get into everything that happened
there
Edge and Damian Priest come out first to address the crowd and AJ Styles
Edge takes some shots at the fans of North Carolina before turning his attention to AJ
Styles
He says that AJ needs to start thinking more with his mind rather than his heart and tells
him not to be a lemon
AJ Styles eventually comes out and faces Damian Priest.
A planned distraction by Edge goes wrong and AJ Styles is able to capitalize for the roll
up pin on Damian Priest
Priest will be banned from ringside at Wrestlemania Backlash
Edge and Damian Priest continue to attack AJ Styles post match which leads to Finn Balor
coming out and making the save for AJ
AJ and Finn have a lot of history together dating back to before their days in WWE, so
it was a save that made sense, there’s obviously a friendship there that goes way back
But like a lot of fans have already been talking about, can Finn Balor truly be trusted here?
It’s really interesting because when Edge was first putting Judgment Day together, one
of the popular fan favorite picks to fit into this group with Edge was Finn Balor
Everyone thought Finn Balor was a great fit for Judgment Day and now he’s apart of this
Edge and AJ Styles storyline, bringing all those fan theories even more into the spotlight
now
So yes, AJ and Finn are long term friends, but could Finn entering this story eventually
lead to another shocking moment of Finn turning on AJ Styles to align with Edge and Damian
Priest? Highly possible now for sure
Damian Priest is banned from ringside at Wrestlemania Backlash, but no one said anything about Finn
Balor
What if Finn does appear at Wrestlemania Backlash to help AJ styles again, but this time around
he ends up helping Edge
Sounds good, but the only issue with that scenario is that Wrestlemania Backlash would
be way too soon for a Finn Balor turn
He was literally inserted into this storyline a few days before Backlash, so it just seems
unlikely for him to make a big turn like that less than a week later
But that doesn’t mean the possibility is fully gone
Maybe AJ and Finn spend a while together and that big Finn heel turn happens at an unexpected
time down the line
Another incredible stat about Finn Balor is that he made his main roster debut in 2016,
but has never been a heel on the main roster
Finn did have a heel turn during his second run in NXT and it was phenomenal, one of his
best personas ever in WWE
But when he came back to the main roster in 2021, he went back to that babyface persona
that he previously had on the main roster
So that’s why fans are excited about Finn now being involved in this story because it
keeps hope alive for Finn joining judgment day and for us to see heel Finn on the main
roster for the first ever time
You put that 2019/2020 NXT Finn persona along with Edge and Damian Priest, and now this
group is really starting to look like a strong untouchable unit
So that’s what’s on a lot of fans minds right now when it comes to this storyline
Sure, Finn may be a friend right now to AJ Styles, but is there a good chance he does
make that big move to join Edge eventually?
Edge may continue to have something special here with Judgment Day if he continues to
pick up these big potential new members
These rumored new members like Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley, all perfectly fit the description
of the group that Edge gave us
Edge said it’s for people who’s not truly living up to their capabilities and destiny
Finn and Rhea are two perfect examples of that. Finn has been lost in the shuffle for
a bit and Rhea has been held back in the tag team division over the last few months, so
both of them have a great case for Judgment Day
So we’ll have to see who Edge continues to recruit for his group

One of the most recent editions of Raw featured the returns of Becky Lynch and Aus-ka
As Becky was talking about climbing back to the top from rock bottom, out came Aus-Ka
to confront Becky
It was a great moment to have Becky back and obviously have Aus-ka back for the first time
in almost a year, but WWE hall of fame member, Bully Ray, shared his thoughts on how this
moment from Raw really didn’t do anything for him
He had this to say on busted open radio, quote:
"After last night, I don't want to see what happens with Becky and Asuka next week. You
didn't grab me, you didn't catch my attention, you didn't do anything. I don't know what
else to say, like honestly, I don't know what else to say. From beginning to end, other
than how great they looked and it was great to see Asuka back, as a fan, I just wasn't
into it." End quote
Despite it being a great moment of two big returns for the women’s division, Bully
Ray does have a bit of a point there with his response
The foundation that was set for this feud with this segment wasn’t exactly flawless
Aus-ka interrupts Becky, but when she gets in the ring, she doesn’t really provide
much of any detail or context to why she interrupted Becky
She says a few of her catchphrase lines and flicks Becky’s nose to close out the starting
moment of this feud
So when you look at it like that, through what Bully Ray was saying, it’s sort of
true. There was no big moment of the story here that left us on the edge of our seats
to see what happens next week for Becky versus Aus-ka, that much is true
Besides it being a a big return for Aus-ka, that’s pretty much all this moment offered
We previously talked about how Becky attempted to add more context to this new feud by posting
that gif from 2020 of Aus-ka and herself exchanging a hug as Becky handed Aus-ka the title
And like Becky said in that caption, she did hand over the title to Aus-ka two years ago
Crazy enough, that was also the last time that Aus-ka and Becky Lynch interacted on
WWE television before this recent edition of Raw
Aus-ka was gone in July 2021 and Becky returned several weeks later in late August
So before this week’s Raw, Becky handing over the raw women’s title to Aus-ka was
the last WWE moment that they shared
So again, why is Aus-ka coming after Becky Lynch if the last time they shared the ring
together, Becky was handing her title over to Aus-ka
Becky hasn’t done any wrong to Aus-ka lately
If Aus-ka had the title or if Becky still had the title, maybe this story and tying
it back to that 2020 moment would’ve made more sense
But as we stand right after week 1 of this feud, the starting moment wasn’t exactly
this electrifying start to the story
So hopefully that does change as the weeks go on with Becky Lynch versus Aus-ka

Alexa Bliss also took to her Instagram story this week to talk about how her nose recovery
picture was censored and removed from Instagram
Alexa had some sinus surgery done a few months ago and when she posted that throwback picture,
it was taken down for the category of being “too violent”, so Alexa wasn’t happy
with that
