While WWE didn't exactly follow-up Backlash with an episode of Raw to remember, Money in the Bank, traditionally one of the best shows of the year, is just around the corner.
Without any further ado, here are some rumors to get you excited for Backlash and a few others from the world of wrestling outside WWE.
#1 Brock Lesnar will not appear at Money in the Bank
On the most recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Brock Lesnar would miss Money in the Bank. The veteran journalist also stated that the reigning Universal Champion might not defend his title until Summerslam.
At this point, an eventual return to the UFC appears to be inevitable for Lesnar who was suspended for a year by USADA after failing a drug test in the build-up to his fight with Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

#4 Jason Jordan was backstage at Raw
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Jason Jordan was backstage at Raw for the first time since he underwent neck surgery in February. The University of Indiana product is reportedly ready to make his in-ring return, but WWE opted not to use him on the most recent episode of their flagship show.
