Yes it’s another big show as we’re closing in on the end of the longest month in WWE history. This is the third part of the Wrestlemania and Greatest Royal Rumble trilogy, meaning it’s time to redeem Roman Reigns. Again. Other than that we have AJ Styles defending the Smackdown World Title against Shinsuke Nakamura for the third time this month. Let’s get to it.

Running On Empty

The only thing worth a damn on this show besides the very good opening match between Seth and Miz was AJ vs. Nakamura before it got ruined by the stupid ending.

Honestly this was the worst WWE pay-per-view (not including TGRR) that I can remember in quite sometime.

As I said in the thread I made, the Roman Reigns super push needs to end. I honestly have no idea what it's going to take for Vince to come to the realization that fans are just really, really, really tired of the schtick that is Roman Reigns.

The show peaked with the opening bout with a great outing from Seth Rollins and the Miz, there was some solid to good stuff throughout much of the rest of the show and it just fell completely flat after Styles vs. Nakamura. Overall, just a pretty uninspired show.

Backlash. The boriest PPV of them all

Now they're going to the extent of forcing Roman's opponent to apply boring ass restholds on the guy so maybe the crowd will turn on his opponent for doing it.

Joe's long neck cranks/chinlocks/armbars completely ruined the match last night and I'm positive it was constructed by a road agent on Vince's behalf for Joe to do that. That match started off great and then the crowd completely died once those long submissions came into play.

2018 looked like such a bright year for the WWE at the beginning. You had Rousey coming in, Bryan coming back, and a incredibly stacked roster, and yet they've somehow fucked it up with a mediocre Wrestlemania, propaganda for a theocratic shithole with multiple human rights violations and now a PPV that made last year's Battleground look like Wrestlemania 17.

This show... did not need to happen whatsoever.
