With WWE Backlash over, the WINC crew is here to project forward, with all five matches that graced Saturday's card, and ask: where do we go from here?

Alexa Bliss didn’t just return to WWE SmackDown – she made sure everyone felt it. Teaming up with Zelina Vega for a solid win over Chelsea Green and Piper Niven, Bliss wasted no time reminding fans why she’s one of WWE’s most compelling characters.

It is never too early to look to the future when it comes to professional wrestling, especially in WWE. With WrestleMania 41 and its follow-up, Backlash, in the rear view mirror, fans are already looking toward SummerSlam, the company's next two-night extravaganza.
