Judgement day minus Ripley has been buried for months. That match doesn’t change anything

The Usos never selling anything and Solo’s lack of any actual ability makes me mad that I bothered to watch

WWE wants to position Rollins and Roman as the best in the world but they struggle to beat some Youtuber.

Some punter and Snoop Dogg shouldn't be beating up a 2x World Champ

It would be one thing if these crossover matches drew ratings, they dont..

Just don't get me started on Shane o'Mac though...

Hate celebs going over active superstars. It's one step above them having the 45th DX reunion to bury more current talent....

I find I don't mind it when the celebs actually put in the work. Bad Bunny and Logan Paul are two celebs who've put in the work and taken the bumps. What I always hated was when celebs "tagged" with wrestlers and just came in at the end for the pin. Logan Paul especially has put his body on the line.

Logan Paul could belong if he wanted to. He's got the size and look to go with what you mentioned. He's on par with Mike Tyson going over, in terms of believability right now.

Bad Bunny just doesn't have the size to win the way he did tonight. It would be one thing if he stole a win. But he beat Priest clean after Damien called in the dogs. He didn't even get a real assist from the LWO. They just cleaned up Judgment Day. On top of that, he is apparently more effective at taking a knee apart than Dean Malenko.

It was a good match. But it cost a lot to put over some who's part time at best.

I've never seen Mike Tyson springboard off a top rope, halfway across the ring, to collide midair with another wrestler. Paul has done some moves Tyson would never dream of.

I get what you're saying about Bad Bunny, but there have been plenty of instances where wrestlers who had no business winning, won. Bunny told the story IMO. I'm not saying he's the greatest ever or anything, but he took the time to tell the story. Most celebs don't do that.

I think Priest will be just fine, btw.

Bad Bunny deserves mad props for the work he put in. He's put on several great matches. I'm not saying the dude is David Arquette. It just comes off a little hokey. No one seriously thought Vega was beating Rhea and one "home town face" had to win.

Mike doesn't fly, because it would be silly for him to. He's a legit bad@$$. It's believable to have him knock someone out with a straight right hand, because he might actually do that, if he forgets his Zoloft. I don't know of an active wrestler who has really bit a chunk out of someone's ear, in ring.

I fell asleep in the 6 man tag. Sounds like it was about like i thought it would be. Now have to wait for the replay to watch Brock & Cody.

Okay, wasn't too crazy about the Uso's finish either, but it works.

Brock and Cody was pretty good. Surprised Cody got the win actually. Wasn't expecting that. Which is a good thing I guess.

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the multi-person tag matches in WWE now are starting to resemble the multi-person matches in AEW? The pattern and pacing in the 6-man tonight looked like an AEW match.

Overall I would give Backlash a B. Without that white-hot crowd I would say B- or C+. 2 really good matches (Bianca/Iyo & Rhea/Zelina) and the rest kind of ho-hum average.

Yeah, it was a good filler PPV. Like you said, a hot crowd. The women's matches ended up stealing the show. Lesnar is more of an attraction than expected good matches. Short,sweet and to the point.

I just watched the end of NXT tonight,but Bron Breakker makes a great heel. He is definitely a guy to build as a cornerstone for the future.
