As mentioned here, one of the major negative points of Backlash was no title changed hands. Surely, we didn't want both the mid-card titles to be on SmackDown. But, the United States or SmackDown Women's Championship could have done the honors.

As a result, the PPV looked extremely dull. Moreover other than the WWE title match, the other title matches looked meaningless. Unpredictability and element of surprise were totally absent from this PPV.

Even the Greatest Royal Rumble crowned a new tag team champion and it was tagged as a "glorified house show". Backlash proved to be worse than it.
