WWE held a press conference earlier today in Edmonton to announce their RAW brand Backlash PPV at the Rexall Place on April 18th. This will be the first WWE PPV ever from Edmonton. Carl DeMarco and Booker T were joined by Edmonton mayor Bill Smith to make the announcement. The early word is that Chris Benoit will work in the main event, either defending or challenging Triple H for the World Title.
