WWE WrestleMania Backlash

Overall Rating: ★★★○☆☆☆

What a nothing of a show. Might as well have been an episode of Raw or Smackdown.

  1. Singles (Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    For me, they did the bare minimum to build this up and I wasn't psyched to see Cody beat Seth, so the fact that that was obviously what was going to happen made it feel like a bit of a waste of time. The match was good, and if it had been part of an episode of Raw I'd probably have thoguht it was great, but as a big special event like this I either need to be really invested in the story or at least not know who's going to win before it starts.
  2. Singles (Bobby Lashley vs. Omos)
    ★★☆○☆☆☆
    Omos is still just huge. And that's it. He can't do much (aside from big kicks, which are cool, but not enough) and Lashley can't really do anything with him either. After the initial entertainment value of seeing a very big man doing big kicks, there's just nothing to sustain my interest.
  3. Singles (AJ Styles vs. Edge)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    I'm really getting into this storyline - I love a spooky cult - but the match was just ok. Seemed like something that probably should have happened on a regular episode.
  4. Ronda Rousey
    ★☆☆○☆☆☆
  5. Singles (Madcap Moss vs. Happy Corbin)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    This whole storyline is extremely mid. It's fine.
  6. Riddle
    ★☆☆○☆☆☆
