1) Kickoff Match Announced For Backlash
Renee Young announced a few hours before Smackdown Live that the first kickoff match for Backlash this Sunday has been made official!
Aiden English will be taking on Tye Dillinger before Backlash officially goes on the air. Here was the announcement from Renee:

Not a bad way to kickoff the show on Sunday. I am guessing that the Chicago crowd will be very loud for the ‘Perfect 10’.
2) Kevin Owens Is The New Host Of The ‘Highlight Reel’
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live kicked off with Kevin Owens hosting his own version of ‘The Highlight Reel’, the show that is usually hosted by Chris Jericho.
This came only a few weeks after Owens defeated Jericho for the title and proceeded to kick the crap out of him (writing him off tv for the time being).
Something about this just doesn’t feel right…
It’s time for @FightOwensFight‘s #HighightReel?! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/5kCOptejXx— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) May 17, 2017
Now he is taking his show? Talk about adding insult to injury. We will have to wait and see if this becomes a weekly thing.
