5 things that shouldn't have happened at WWE Backlash

#3 The WWE Title match not closing the show

Styles and Nakamura put up the match of the night in their no disqualification bout for the WWE Title.

This was the kind of performance that the spectators at WrestleMania were expecting. Both men gave it their all and took one another to the extreme. This match had it all, from close calls to quick moves. We even saw the much awaited low blow from Styles to Nakamura.

The match could have quite easily been the one to main event the show and the crowd would have left a lot more satisfied.

Instead, this match was followed by two meaningless title matches. The crowd didn't seem to vested in the Reign vs Joe main event and this could have been easily changed if this match had gone on last.

Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.

He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.

Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
