When WWE announced that Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens would be facing Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley at Backlash 2018 in a tag team match, fans were quick to speculate if this match would have any stakes involved, such as a possible Raw Tag Team Title shot.

However, to the dismay of many in the WWE Universe, this was an unnecessary match that was just an excuse to fill time.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Therefore, many fans were at least being optimistic that this bout would at least produce a harmless entertaining wrestling match, but WWE failed in that area as well, as this tag team match was possibly the worst match on the card.

The reason why this bout could take the title of worst match of the night is due to the confusing booking WWE used to structure it. From Owens and Zayn arguing to Strowman and Lashley attacking the heels after the match was over, this match hurt the momentum of all competitors involved.

However, if there were a poll to decide which of these teams came out looking worse, it would be the heels, as Sami and Kevin are on a senseless losing streak.

WWE is comprising the credibility of their top heels on Raw, as Owens and Zayn are being handled inadequately over the last few weeks. Therefore, this decision will affect the company's future plans as the poor booking of their heels might lead to lackluster episodes of Raw.
