#3 Nakamura comes out of the event empty-handed

Ever since WrestleMania 34, Shinsuke Nakamura has been booked like a new man. From distinct entrance music to a brand new attitude, The Artist has rejuvenated his entire WWE career with a straightforward heel turn.
Therefore, if Nakamura leaves Backlash with having achieved nothing, then that is the most significant low blow of his WWE main roster run.
Nakamura has proven himself as a different superstar in a sea of generic babyfaces and heels, as his in-ring work has gotten more brutal, his promos have gotten more arrogant, and his behaviour has gotten more bizarre.
While AJ Styles is possibly the best champion in WWE today, the company cannot let Nakamura walk away from Backlash 2018 as the biggest loser of the night.
