New Title Match Revealed For WWE WrestleMania Backlash

By Marc Middleton

WWE has just announced Asuka vs. RAW Women's Champion Rhea Ripley for the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view.

This will be Ripley's second title defense since winning the title from Asuka at WrestleMania 37. Asuka originally had a rematch on the post-WrestleMania edition of RAW but that match ended in a No Contest due to interference from Charlotte Flair.

It's been rumored that Flair would face Ripley and Asuka at WrestleMania Backlash in a Triple Threat, but WWE has only announced the singles match as of now. They are teasing a showdown between Flair and Ripley on tonight's RAW.

The first-ever WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view will take place on May 16 from the WWE ThunderDome at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. Below is the updated card:

Triple Threat for the WWE Title
Braun Strowman vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley (c)

SmackDown Women's Title Match
Bayley vs. Bianca Belair (c)
