The following list looks at just five of the biggest mistakes that WWE made at Backlash.
#5. Where was Bronson Reed?
Bron Breakker vs Seth Rollins was expected to have interference, and there wasn’t a lot that Rollins himself could do about it, since The Vision has an axe to grind with him.
It was thought that Bronson Reed would be making his return to be able to help Breakker pick up the win, since he has an issue with Rollins as well. Instead, it was Logan Paul and Austin Theory who attempted to interfere, but Rollins chased away Paul since he clearly didn’t see the two men as threats to him.
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed are on a different level when they are together, and he even teased making his return, so it’s a shock that he wasn’t part of the show.
#4. Did Trick Williams need Lil Yachty?
There has been a lot of talk about the inclusion of celebrities in WWE over the past few months, and usually, when WrestleMania season is over, many of them leave. That’s not the case for Lil Yachty, who has remained in his story with Trick Williams.
It’s clear that the two men like working together, but this story has become silly at this point, and it’s clear that Williams doesn’t need Lil Yachty in his corner. The rapper appears to just be there to get some experience in front of a crowd because he wants to wrestle at some point.
That being said, Sami and Trick Williams would easily be able to work this out alone.
#3. Danhausen’s mystery partner?
There were reports ahead of the show that Danhausen would choose Jelly Roll as his mystery partner, and the negative backlash made it clear that this was not a great choice. It’s unknown if WWE purposely leaked that to see the reaction or if the partner was changed at the last minute.
Danhausen instead used his Minihausen’s from WrestleMania, which worked out for him because he was later able to clone them and use the numbers against Miz and Kit Wilson.
It was a great angle for WWE to come up with to include the Minihausens and legitimately shock fans instead of it being predictable.
#2. Was that Asuka’s final match?
Asuka was defeated by Iyo Sky in what many believe was her final match at Backlash, which has led to some interesting backlash against WWE. Asuka burst into tears after the match and was able to embrace her long-time friend and rival in the ring, but many have questioned why this wasn’t a bigger deal.
Asuka could have had this announced as her final match and given the platform that she deserved to walk away, but it seemed that she had made the decision herself. The Japanese star was able to end her story with Iyo Sky, but it’s unclear if her decision to leave was based on the fact that Kairi Sane was released from the company last month, and the two women were close friends.
#1. Jacob Fatu really should have won at WWE Backlash
Jacob Fatu and Roman Reigns main evented WWE Backlash in what was seen as one of the biggest matches of the year, but in the end, it was the Spear that once again determined that Reigns retained his title.
Fatu and Reigns put on a fantastic match as expected, and it seemed as though Fatu was going to get the win after he used the Tonga Death Grip, but Reigns was able to pull out the Spear and put him away.
Fatu attacked Reigns after the match as it became clear that this story is far from over, and he was full of frustration for the fact that he lost.
It could be argued that it would have made the most sense here if Jacob had come out on top, since Reigns is expected to miss a few weeks of TV in June. If he dropped the title to Jacob, he could have taken it forward for the next few months and then dropped it back to Reigns when he made his return.
It’s unclear if the plan is for Fatu to take the title at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event or Clash in Italy before Reigns takes some time off. If that’s the case, then it will be interesting to see what the next few weeks hold for the two men.
