Tonight's Backlash PPV seems to have met fan expectations, judging by the WWE Universe's reaction on social media following the event. Fans also praised Samoa Joe for his work behind the announce desk during the show, with many believing that he brings a unique take to the table. Former RAW announcer Renee Young had an interesting reaction to Joe's commentary.

She pointed out Joe's "sadistic belly laugh", and dubbed it as her favorite thing about him on commentary. Check out Renee's tweet below:
My favourite thing about @SamoaJoe on commentary is his sadistic belly laugh when he knows something just hurt like hell.
Renee Young isn't the only person Samoa Joe has impressed with his work as an announcer
Joe has been impressing fans and peers alike ever since he made his return in April and replaced Jerry "The King" Lawler on the RAW commentary desk. He has had a decorated career that has now lasted for around two decades. In addition to being an excellent in-ring worker, Joe has always wowed the fans with his skills on the mic. A former TNA (now Impact Wrestling) World Champion, Joe got several opportunities to showcase his gift of gab and he succeeded in delivering intriguing promos most of the time.
Renee Young was a RAW announcer herself for a short while, back in 2018-19. Her stint as a RAW commentator lasted for over a year, and she seems to be doing pretty well for herself as a host on WWE Backstage.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
