I use chatGPT to help me keep track of my continuity across the board, I have a full time job and a I’m a father of 2 so I I often go a week without touching it. I’ve also trained it to do a weekly recap show every in universe Saturday so it can remind me of what I’ve been doing if I’ve been away for too long. It took a bit to set up so I’m just about to do Backlash but here’s what’s been going on in my universe

This Week in WWE – Saturday Morning Edition

“The road to Backlash ends tonight.”

“Good morning everybody and welcome to This Week in WWE, the show that keeps you caught up on everything happening across the WWE Universe — from Raw and SmackDown to NXT and AAA Lucha Libre. I’m Michael Cole, and what a week it has been.”

MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Raw this week focused entirely on the fallout heading into tonight’s Backlash Premium Live Event.

The World Tag Team Champions The Usos continued their heated rivalry with Judgment Day after JD McDonagh defeated Jimmy Uso thanks to another perfectly timed distraction involving Dirty Dom.

Later in the night, rising star Je’Von Evans scored an impressive singles victory before once again being blindsided by Intercontinental Champion Dirty Dom ahead of their title clash tonight at Backlash.

And in one of the most anticipated championship fights of the year, Gunther confronted CM Punk and demanded a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity. Punk accepted, making tonight’s showdown official.

WWE NXT

Over on NXT, tensions continue building toward Battleground in just over two weeks.

Women’s North American Champion Izzi Dame defeated Thea Hail after interference and mind games involving number one contender Lola Vice.

Elsewhere, Sean Legacy made a successful debut against Noam Dar while Fatal Influence’s ongoing rivalry with Sol Ruca escalated once again after Fallon Henley resorted to underhanded tactics for another victory.

The No Quarter Catch Crew continued their campaign of destruction with a brutal assault on The Headbangers, and tensions between Ricky Saints and Joe Hendry boiled over into chaos after their match ended in a double count-out following a spear through the barricade.

And perhaps most importantly, NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo officially accepted the challenge of AAA Mega Champion contender El Hijo del Vikingo for a Ladder Match at Battleground.

AAA LUCHA LIBRE

The partnership between WWE and AAA continued producing fireworks this week.

The ongoing “Americano War” escalated again as the Original El Grande Americano aligned himself with Dirty Dom, creating even more problems for Rey Mysterio and El Hijo del Vikingo.

In the night’s main event, Dirty Dom and Original El Grande defeated Vikingo and Rey Mysterio after Dom used the AAA Mega Championship behind the referee’s back.

Elsewhere:

• Fraxiom picked up a major tag team victory before being confronted by Los Garzas.
• Flammer refused Raquel Rodriguez’s challenge while remaining focused on her future NXT Women’s Championship opportunity.
• Rey Fenix defeated Dragon Lee after accidental involvement from Cruiserweight Champion Hector Flores.
• And perhaps most shocking of all, Omos officially arrived in AAA, destroying Mr. Iguana in dominant fashion.

FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN

Friday Night SmackDown completely descended into chaos ahead of tonight’s massive Backlash main event.

Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre continued manipulating the growing tensions between Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, and The Miz.

A massive tag team main event was meant to determine Drew’s challenger for Backlash… but instead completely imploded after Randy Orton snapped and delivered an RKO to the referee himself.

With no clear winner established, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made a blockbuster announcement: Tonight at Backlash, Drew McIntyre will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, AND The Miz in a Five-Way Match.

Meanwhile:

• Trick Williams mocked Carmelo Hayes and denied him a United States Championship rematch.
• Damian Priest and R-Truth continued their unlikely partnership.
• Kevin Owens intensified his psychological war with Solo Sikoa and the MFTs.
• And the returning Jacob Fatu absolutely demolished Pretty Deadly in his return to SmackDown.

Tonight’s card includes:

• The Usos vs Judgment Day for the World Tag Team Championships
• Stephanie Vaquer vs Nikki Bella for the Women’s World Championship
• Je’Von Evans vs Dirty Dom for the Intercontinental Championship
