– Sami Zayn vs. Baron Corbin is now official for Sunday’s WWE Backlash pay-per-view in Chicago after Sami requested the match.
– Rusev did not make his WWE SmackDown debut on tonight’s show after being advertised by the WWE website. It appears is absence was a late decision as WWE’s SmackDown Five-Point preview issued earlier had him listed.
Rusev tweeted the following on missing the show, saying he was at the Nashville Predators NHL game instead:
Sorry #SmackDownLIVE I had to make the @PredsNHL game. See you when I see you.
