10 things WWE got wrong at Backlash 2018

#8 No plans for Strowman and Lashley

A waste of two top talents

As mentioned in an earlier point, the tag team match that was Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens vs Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley was possibly the worst match on the entire Backlash match card, as the booking from a narrative standpoint was terrible.

This match was terrible cause the heels came out of this match looking like mid-card jobbers, and the babyfaces, Strowman and Lashley were in a worse state themselves.

Therefore, instead of Strowman getting his usual monster pop, strong booking, and progressive career direction, WWE confirmed with his unusual booking on this night that they are clueless on how to handle Strowman at the moment.

While Strowman might be rehabilitated on Raw this week, Bobby Lashley is in worse shape even though he hasn't lost a match since he returned. Many fans came into this show with the expectation that at a point in this match Lashley was going to betray Strowman and turn heel, as Lashley is better suited as a no-nonsense ass kicker.

However, confusion was the only thing prominent in this match, as Strowman and Lashley awkwardly destroyed Owens and Zayn in underwhelming fashion.

This was a night where WWE could've given Strowman a direction to work with for the next few months, as the chances of Strowman facing Lesnar for the Universal Title is unpredictable as management is intent on pushing Roman Reigns in that spot.

Therefore, with all of WWE's undecidedness, these two monsters are left waiting on the sidelines for a real narrative.
