10 things WWE got wrong at Backlash 2018

#10 Roman Reigns: Same story, different day

How can WWE fix Reigns?

No matter how many times Micheal Cole yells "The Big Dog" or the commentators try and justify the hostility Roman Reigns receives from the WWE Universe as unnecessary hate, the fact of the matter remains, nothing will change for Roman Reigns if WWE does not change him.

After WrestleMania had concluded and Roman Reigns lost clean to Brock Lesnar, fans were convinced that Reigns would be evolving his stale John Cena like character. Therefore, over the last few weeks, wrestling fans witnessed Reigns wear gold watches, chains, and bracelets to the ring, and many took this as a sign of a much-anticipated heel turn.

However, WWE did the unthinkable again and continued to push Reigns as an unwanted babyface. Also, from the Greatest Royal Rumble to Backlash 2018 Reigns has had possibly the worst booking of his entire singles run, as his persona, connection with the fans and status as 'The Guy' were all up in the air.

However, the truth is that none of this is Reigns fault, as its WWE's unwillingness to at least tweak his character which now puts him in an unfavorable state.

Therefore, this all led to Backlash 2018 where the WWE universe witnessed one of the worst matches between Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe in the main event of the night.

Instead of booking Reigns as a different man that is just here to kick ass and take names WWE booked him in typical superhero fashion, as he was dominated throughout the entire match but unsurprisingly made a comeback to win the match.

Even though Reigns may have won this match, this was a bad night for him as WWE continues to distance him from the crowd and present him as the most hated babyface on the roster.
