WWE Backlash 2018: Analyzing and grading each match and segment

#2 Seth Rollins def. The Miz (Intercontinental Championship)

Match: Seth Rollins’ knee buckled four times during this high-tempo opening match after he crashed it into the ring post. He was still able to pick up the win, though, kicking out of two Skull Crushing Finales before finally connecting with a Curb Stomp on The Miz, who unsuccessfully tried to persuade The Miztourage to join him at ringside for the match.

Verdict: The outcome of this IC title match felt obvious as soon as The Miz was traded to SmackDown Live in the Superstar Shake-Up, so credit to both guys for making the fans believe that “The A-Lister” really could steal a win on multiple occasions during the match. This was another outstanding performance from Rollins and it was by far Miz’s best match since his battle with Dolph Ziggler at No Mercy 2016.
