Changes and chases
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Less than two weeks before Backlash, change was in the air in the Land of the Extreme. Its roster was altered by the departure of The Miz and the arrival of the gigantic Vladimir Kozlov, sitting on the brink of more additions and subtractions with the ensuing Supplemental Draft just more than 12 hours away. But the self-proclaimed face of ECW, champion Jack Swagger, looked to stop change before it infects Backlash and his status atop the Extreme brand.

Only 24 hours after losing his tag team partner and fellow "Dirt Sheet" host in The Miz, John Morrison scored an impressive win against the high-flying Evan Bourne.

For the second week in a row, Finlay was the hero when he pinned Tommy Dreamer to further narrow down the hunt for ECW Champion Jack Swagger's title. The Irishman brings his love to fight to the debut edition of WWE Superstars, where he will face Christian in a battle to become No. 1 contender to the coveted prize. Much to Swagger's disappointment for not being granted a question and answer timeslot on the show, ECW interim General Manager Tiffany scheduled the contest for Thursday night in her second major decision since acquiring Theodore Long's responsibilities.
