WWE Backlash 2020: 5 Things we learned from the show

#3. It's time to get serious with Braun Strowman

Strowman retained his title at Backlash

Among the other victors at WWE Backlash was Universal Champion Braun Strowman.

The Monster Among Men successfully defended his title in a two-on-one handicap match against both The Miz and John Morrison.

The match was short and sweet but was probably what we expected as Strowman gave these two mouthy heels their punishment for spending the last few weeks riling him up on episodes of Friday Night SmackDown.

WWE Backlash: Braun Strowman retains his WWE title

Now that victory is in the record books for Strowman, however, I'd like to see WWE move the champ on to something more long-term and interesting.

I don't necessarily feel that Strowman has had a stellar reign as Universal Champion so far, and that's no criticism of him or WWE. He was an accidental Champion at WrestleMania, having been slotted into the mix late after Roman Reigns withdrew from the event.

Since then, it almost feels as though WWE are having to play catch-up with Strowman and have yet to decide how they want his reign to play out in the long-term.

After WWE Backlash, I feel it's time to really get to work on that and to let the Monster loose once and for all!
