Backlash Honest Review-ish
The kick off show match had a Monday Night RAW vibe to it, minus the commercials of course, expect Sheamus and Ricochet to continue the feud as early as tonight. Rhea pinned Asuka to remain RAW Women's champion on this night, this may now lead to Rhea facing Charlotte one on one.
History was made at Backlash ladies and gentlemen, Rey and Dominik became the first father and son team to become tag team champions, you already know my thoughts on Dominik (no disrespect) here is a message to the Mysterios. Welcome....to the Uso......Penitentiary.
Here is where things took a bizzare turn, if you can imagine such a thing, the lumberjacks for Priest vs. Miz were zombies, seemingly to promote a movie called: Army of the Dead. As mentioned in the predictions, now is the time to move the guys on to different opponents.
The SmackDown Women's Championship lived up to expectations, which isn't a shock, Bianca used her braided hair to pick up the win via roll up, Bayley has a legit argument that she didn't lose clean, meaning the EST may have hell to pay in the cell next month.
"The Almighty" Bobby Lashley remains your WWE Champion in a great match fought all over the ThunderDome, the champ was taken out about midway through, he managed to return towards the end to hit Braun with the Spear for the win, if wrestling logic 101 is correct then the next challenger will be Drew once again after he didn't get pinned.
The main event for the Universal Championship was amazing, Cesaro put up great challenge, him suffering an arm "injury" proved vital in denying him a taste of victory, as that was a part of the body Reigns targeted, who won the match via the guillotine submission move. Jey ran down to celebrate with "The Head of The Table" and then Seth Rollins appeared, who then attacked Cesaro before the show went off the air.
My apologies for not showing a lot of enthusiasm in this review-ish, it may be because of the virtual audience, I speak on behalf of many when I say we cannot wait for the fans to return in attendance. July16th is the current rumoured date, fingers crossed it is correct, all being well of course in terms of health and safety. hope you enjoyed reading the Backlash Review-ish. Thanks for reading,
See you in Hell........In a Cell.
