WWE WrestleMania Backlash

  • Raw Championship Triple Threat (Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley): 5/7. Had its moments, but I really would have preferred to see any two of them in a singles match. There was one really good bit where just Ripley and Flair were in the ring and it was like, that, that's the match I want to see. And then Asuka was back and... meh.
  • Smackdown Tag Team Championship (Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode vs. Rey Mysterio): 3/7. It was all a bit obvious.
  • Zombie Lumberjack Match (The Miz vs. Damien Priest): 5/7. Fun concept. Not sure it quite worked, although the bit where Miz and Priest were both fighting the zombies was good. It would be really cool if, next time we see them, Miz and Morrison are zombies. But I doubt they will be.
  • Smackdown Championship (Bayley vs. Bianca Belair): 6/7. Bayley is great.
  • WWE Championship Triple Threat (Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley): 5/7. I wish it had just been McIntyre vs. Strowman.
  • Universal Championship (Cesaro vs. Roman Reigns): 7/7. Cesaro is great. Pat McAfee's commentary was distractingly bad, but in the end it didn't matter.
Overall Rating: 5/7. No real low points. The Smackdown Tag championship wasn't great, but it was fine. I do wish they'd cut back on the number of triple threats, but they were fine.
