5 things that shouldn't have happened at WWE Backlash

#1 New Day, Titus Worldwide, Noway Jose, Rusev Day and Breezango interrupting Elias

Just when Newark was going to be enlightened about what WWE stands for, The New Day interrupted Elias with Big E and Kingston holding a drum and cymbals respectively. Woods suggested that Elias and The New Day form a band and perform but Elias objected.

When the lights went off again, Aiden English interrupted Elias reminding everyone that it was Rusev Day. After Rusev called Elias and the New Day names, Elias demanded that his concert is restarted.

But this time he was interrupted by Noway Jose, Titus Worldwide, and Breezango. Elias cut the fiesta early and again waited for his concert to be restarted. This was again interrupted by Bobby Roode who instantly appeared in the ring and delivered a DDT to Elias.

The whole idea of making a cross-brand segment may have been a good call, but the final outcome was stressed on taking forward the Roode and Elias rivalry. This could have been done without the dragging segment with The New Day and other teams interrupting Elias.

Had all the teams performed together or played a relevant role in the segment, the segment wouldn't have seemed too draggy and the crowd would have been a lot nicer during the Reigns and Joe main event. This segment was unnecessarily long.

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.
