This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw will continue the build up for the upcoming Backlash premium live event, and some big names are set to appear on the show. Brock Lesnar will be answering Cody Rhodes’ challenge tonight and Trish Stratus will also be addressing her attack on Becky Lynch from last week, but it doesn’t sound like fans should expect to see Becky tonight as she announced earlier today on Twitter that she won’t be at the show.
I won’t be coming to Raw today.

The WRKD Wrestling account is reporting that Becky Lynch will not be at Monday Night Raw this week because she’s dealing with a minor injury. It’s also being reported that WWE will use her absence to play into Stratus turning on her last week. There’s currently no word on what type of injury Becky will be dealing with or how long she will be out of action.
The reason for Becky Lynch’s absence from tonight’s #WWERaw is that she is currently dealing with a minor injury.
This will also serve as a cover to play into the betrayal she feels from last week’s angle with Trish Stratus. pic.twitter.com/58KejGfPjo
