As the name suggests, WWE WrestleMania Backlash was always bound to feature some rematches from “The Showcase of the Immortals.”
WWE has announced one such bout for the card, as Asuka will challenge Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women’s Championship at the pay-per-view.

Ripley defeated Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 37 to win the title. Despite this announcement, the presence of Charlotte Flair on WWE RAW is worth keeping an eye on during this final stretch leading up to the pay-per-view.
