10 things WWE got wrong at Backlash 2018

#2 Nia Jax struggles against Alexa Bliss

A dominant force such as Jax shouldn't be struggling to put away Bliss.

The anti-bullying narrative WWE has crafted around Nia Jax, and Alexa Bliss's crumbling friendship felt forced at times, and on the other hand, it hit the high notes the company had hoped it would.

However, while the creative team had done a commendable job over the last weeks in making Bliss a hateable villain and Jax the sympathetic babyface, their Backlash rematch was almost a carbon copy of their Wrestlemania bout, which saw Jax struggle to put Bliss away.

While it is smart booking by WWE to protect the credibility of the women's division by having them put on competitive matches, this programme needed to conclude decisively, which should've seen Jax dominantly destroy Bliss.

However, the WWE Universe was forced to witness another sloppy bout that did nothing for these stars involved as Jax and Bliss did not benefit from this disappointing rematch.

Even though the reason for the prolonging of this feud was to get their anti-bullying campaign marketed to many victims across the world, the company should've done so by having Jax who is the victim squash the bully in Bliss.

Moving forward WWE needs to book Jax like the in-ring monster that she is, as on this night they failed to do what Jax echoed in her promo, the bully needed to get their ass kicked.
