WrestleMania Backlash | Review-ish

After a month removed from WrestleMania, the content continues for you readers of the blog, apologies for not posting any predictions for Backlash, it is what it is and here we are with the review-ish. 

Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins began the show, the two put on a fantastic match, not surprising really because they are two quality wrestlers, am I allowed to call them that? should I call them sports entertainers instead? anyway, Cody picked up the win by rolling up Rollins, that's not an easy sentence to say. 

It's probably an unpopular question, but I'll ask it anyway, without expecting any answers, is the novelty of Cody's return to the company already getting old? his entrance and theme music is great but it feels like it's becoming stale already. Hell in a Cell is the next Premium Live Event, they may run this one back one more time, we shall see about that. 

The second match of the night saw Omos defeat Bobby Lashley, this one felt like a TV match you would see on an episode of Monday Night RAW. MVP was the deciding factor here as he cost Lashley by striking him with his walking stick while the referee was distracted. 

The WrestleMania rematches continued, this time with Edge taking on AJ Styles, with the added stipulation of Damian Priest being banned from ringside, who actually did make an appearance by distracting Styles, Finn Balor also appeared, trying to even things up, while that was going on, a masked person hit AJ, allowing Edge to put on a submission hold for victory, the masked person was revealed to be Rhea Ripley, someone who myself, along with many other content creators and fans predicted would join Edge and Damian Priest as part of the Judgement Day faction.

Did you know Judgement Day used to be a Premium Live Event? you learn something new everyday.

Ronda Rousey is your NEW SmackDown Women's Champion, after Charlotte said the words "I quit" this match, along with Cody vs. Seth and Edge vs. AJ Styles was better than the one at WrestleMania, later on it was revealed Charlotte was "injured" it looks as though she will be written off from TV for a while.

MadCap Moss defeated Happy Corbin in the co-main event of the evening, this looks to be end of the rivalry, finally. unless they run this one back this Friday Night on SmackDown. 

Roman Reigns and The Usos were victorious against Drew McIntyre and RK-Bro, after Roman speared Riddle for the pinfall victory, an outstanding main event, which was criticised by many, who had expected this to be a winner take all contest, people just love to complain about anything these days. 

Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more content, available soon.
