#5 A white-hot Samoa Joe losses clean
Samoa Joe walked into Backlash 2018, possibly the hottest heel in the company right now, as his promos on Roman Reigns failures, his warning to AJ Styles and his overall badass persona was at an all-time high.

Unfortunately, Samoa Joe came out of Backlash 2018, as a man that failed to deliver on the promises he kept dishing out week after week, and it is genuinely disappointing to witness a megastar such as Joe being defeated once again in a high profile situation.

Moreover, Joe was beaten clean although reports have circulated that WWE moved Joe to SmackDown Live because they wanted him to be a top star on the blue brand.
However, by being beaten by Roman Reigns at this point is his resurgence, WWE has made one of the biggest mistakes in Joe's career thus far.
While most would say that Reigns needed this victory more than Joe, as his recent singles run has been one of the worst in the company today, Joe especially needed to authenticate himself as a top heel on a night where stars needed to be established.
Moreover, Reigns should go on to eventually defeat Brock Lesnar down the line while Joe would have to start from scratch again, as most of his credibility has been compromised by eating the pinfall at Backlash 2018.
