According to sources, WWF officials are planning a "Sable"-like cocky character for her. It is expected that Chyna would feud with Lita, or maybe even Trish Stratus. **Rumors are that some WCW wrestlers would be appearing at Backlash, probably interfering in the "Last Man Standing" match between Shane McMahon and The Big Show. (Good Lord) **According to some sources, Vince McMahon was furious with backstage workers and cameramen for a few errors made on Raw last Monday. The cameras didn't picture the Jeff Hardy/HHH match finish. Also, Kane & Undertaker's entrance was also messed up. **There are rumors that The Undertaker will square off against Steve Austin at "King of the Ring" for the WWF Title. According to sources, the WWF as well as The Undertaker are happy with his current gimmick, and WWF officials have no plans for a change of gimmick for him. **There is a strong possibility that HHH could be added to the elite group of Grand-Slammers, which has only one member at the moment, Shawn Michaels. HHH has won all major titles in the WWF except the Tag Team titles. Sources believe that the WWF would be more than happy to have HHH this achievement, since he was the wrestler who kept the WWF on top, even in Steve Austin's absence.
