She may not be advertised for Backlash, but that doesn't make the rumours of Ronda Rousery rocking up to ruffle Nia Jax's feathers any less believable. After all, WWE have done a pretty good job (or a bad job, depending on how you look at it) of normalising the MMA star since her sensational WrestleMania bow, to the extent that she feels like just another part of the roster. So why shouldn't she show up unannounced?

Nia Jax is expected to flatten Alexa Bliss in their championship rematch, after which it's supposed Rousey will interrupt the celebrations. There was some subtle eye contact between the pair on Raw this past week. It'll be much less subtle in New Jersey if the two come face to face once more.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
