The following story contains possible spoilers (from various sources) for tonight's Backlash PPV. Do not read on if you want to go in totally fresh tonight.

- Due to the feedback their WrestleMania XX match got, Chris Benoit, HHH, and HBK have been working hard to prepare a match that should at least live up to the very high expectations. Benoit is expected to win the match, while there has at least been some talk of beginning an HBK heel turn, although that's not confirmed.

- As of this week, Bret Hart and Vince McMahon had not reached a deal (or even spoken) and Bret should not be expected to appear on tonight's show.

- Lots of effort has been put in to making sure the Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton match will live up to its hype of being a bloodbath. Mick Foley has his heart set on a match that delivers, so the ball will be in Randy Orton's court, to determine whether or not this match is memorable or forgetabble.

- Before Edge returned to TV, the plan was for him to go over in his first PPV match back. However, while that still could be the case, there was at least some talk of a different finish due to internal feelings that the feud has not been built up properly. We'll have to see how this turns out.

- Jericho vs. Christian & Trish should definitely feature some comedy (while also some good sequences with Christian and Jericho) and regardless of the finish, is not expected to totally end the feud.

- Obviously, Shelton Benjamin is expected to beat Ric Flair, but this will be a real test for Shelton. Even at Flair's age, he's still one of the best in WWE, but due to the age problem, some of his recent PPV matches have not been as great as one would hope. Shelton Benjamin knows this is a huge opportunity for him, so it's really going to bank on whether Ric Flair is on tonight.

- Victoria vs. Lita can really go other way, but the early plan was to keep them both faces after the match.

- Various rumors and ideas have been spreading about the Tajiri/Coach match, including involvement from Eugene, La Resistance, even another appearance from Al Snow. Either way, this is another comedy match.
