Paving the way to Backlash
With Backlash less than two weeks away, ECW Champion Kane has begun building momentum, thanks in part to some help from a fellow champion and family member. The Brothers of Destruction, Kane & World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker, were victorious over The Miz & John Morrison on the last ECW on Sci Fi, demolishing the WWE Tag Team Champions.
But when Kane defends the ECW title against Chavo Guerrero at Backlash, the Big Red Machine wont have his brother with him in the ring. How will Kane fare in the days leading to Backlash? How will Guerrero enlist the help of his new bodyguard, Bam Neely, as he tries to win back ECW gold?
Kofi Kingstons winning streak also continued last Tuesday night, as he led his team of CM Punk, Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore to victory in an Eight-Man Tag Team Match against Deuce, Domino, Shelton Benjamin & Elijah Burke. The Jamaican Superstar has been blazing a path through every challenger he meets; who will step up to challenge Kingston next? Will anyone be able to stop the Jamaican sensation?
In other ECW action, Mike Knox continued his winning ways in London. Under ECW General Manager Armando Estradas watchful eye, Knox was victorious over Colin Delaney, who was once again fighting for a WWE contract. The youngster wasnt able to enlist the aid of ECW Original Tommy Dreamer this week, as his bad luck continues. Will Delaneys fortune eventually turn around? Will he ever earn a WWE contract?
