Offical Smackdown Preview w/match listings
Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Thursday, April 24, 2003 at 1:32 PM EST


• Offical WWE Smackdown Preview for 4/24/03:
  
  We're counting down the hours until Backlash this week on SmackDown!, which airs Thursday at 8 p.m./7 CT on UPN!
  
  We now know that John Cena will battle Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship, Team Angle will defend their WWE Tag Team Championship against Los Guerreros, the Big Show will face Rey Mysterio, and Rikishi will go one on one with Sean O'Haire at the pay-per-view. All of these Superstars will undoubtedly be looking to gain a psychological advantage this week on SmackDown! -- the last episode before Backlash!
  
  Also, it has been announced that Rikishi will take on "Rowdy" Roddy Piper this week on SmackDown! -- the first WWE match for the "Hot Scot" in years! Will Rikishi be able to exact revenge for Piper's savage attacks on Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka?
  
  Who is Mr. America? What are Sable's intentions? What else can we expect at Backlash? Perhaps we'll get more answers to these questions this Thursday night at 8/7 CT, when UPN presents SmackDown!
