Liv Morgan’s revenge tour will be put on hold, as she is not scheduled for a match. Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, and Nia Jax are also notable names not featured on the Backlash card.
Each superstar has their own storyline and reasons for not being booked, from title reigns to recent actions on WWE programming. Despite their absence from Backlash, these superstars continue to play significant roles in the WWE terrain.
