Ron Killings is still being reported as having signed a WWE contract. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for his name to be continually added to the
WWE Roster article, and information about his return being added to his article. There is also, apparently, an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick. Recent SmackDown! Taping spoilers indicate that he debuted under the name Kwik Killings in a
Dark match. No reliable source has reported this as of now, however.

WWE Backlash
Hello,
I am in no way vandalising this wikipedia article. It is constructive and the information now put back on is irrelevant as it is all stated in the articles within WWE Backlash. For example, Backlash (2001). The results are no longer needed on WWE Backlash because they are on Backlash (2001).
I am in no means vandalising this article. I am trying to improve it. Refer yourself to
WWE No Way Out. I am trying to get WWE Backlash to the standards of this one.
I hope you understand and please do not take my editing the wrong way,
Hi, the Red Sox winning the WS and fans no longer chanting 1918 would be better off the Red Sox wiki article. It's nice that it's sourced, but doesn't belong in the Yankees wiki article which is about the Yankees not the Red Sox. Thanks.

You from New York? Nice to hear Soccer actually exists there. I'm from Australia, I visited New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington back in 2004. I stayed in Boston the most because of relatives so I'm a Red Sox fan!!! However I'm really passionate about the NBA and I'm a huge Cleveland fan ever since the King was drafted in '03. —Preceding

I THINK it was agree to wait for the show to air somewhere in the world (i.e. for SmackDown, it's usually in Australia in what is Thursday night for us in the US). I am aware of the spoilers for next weeks Raw (don't know why WWE taped it). There isn't any source that will be the main event anyways since the WHC match could be the main event.

Secondly, I am working with my boss, CEO and Founder of Life Partners, to get an article for the company. I had talked to another administrator (FRED) and he told me since I was new to WIKIPEDIA that I could start doing the page on my user profile and then submit it when it a notable page to publish into a real article.

WWE Backlash
Hello,
I am in no way vandalising this wikipedia article. It is constructive and the information now put back on is irrelevant as it is all stated in the articles within WWE Backlash. For example, Backlash (2001). The results are no longer needed on WWE Backlash because they are on Backlash (2001).
I am in no means vandalising this article. I am trying to improve it. Refer yourself to
WWE No Way Out. I am trying to get WWE Backlash to the standards of this one.
I hope you understand and please do not take my editing the wrong way,
Hi, the Red Sox winning the WS and fans no longer chanting 1918 would be better off the Red Sox wiki article. It's nice that it's sourced, but doesn't belong in the Yankees wiki article which is about the Yankees not the Red Sox. Thanks.

I am aware of the spoilers for next weeks Raw (don't know why WWE taped it). There isn't any source that will be the main event anyways since the WHC match could be the main event.
