El Grande Americano wins the WWE Speed Contender Tournament, setting up a championship match against Dragon Lee on May 7.

El Grande Americano triumphed over Alex Shelley via pinfall in the WWE Speed Contender Tournament on April 30, securing his spot in the upcoming WWE Speed Championship match against reigning champion Dragon Lee on May 7. This victory marks a significant milestone for Americano as he prepares to challenge for the title.

Meanwhile, Roman Reigns continues to be absent from WWE programming, with no plans for his participation in the Backlash Premium Live Event scheduled for May 10 in St. Louis. Speculations suggest that fans may see his return in early 2025, raising questions about the future of his storyline.

As the WWE Draft 2025 approaches, projections indicate that CM Punk and Bayley will remain on Raw, while SmackDown is expected to select Randy Orton and Trick Williams. Orton`s potential return could reignite a feud with Cody Rhodes post-draft, adding another layer of intrigue to the roster changes.

In other notable matches, John Cena is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at Backlash, with a possible rematch against Cody Rhodes on May 24 during Saturday Night`s Main Event in Tampa. Additionally, Gunther will face Pat McAfee in a grudge match stemming from McAfee`s earlier interference during Gunther`s confrontation with Michael Cole.
