WWE Backlash 2018: Analyzing and grading each match and segment

Roma
Roman Reigns headlined the event against Samoa Joe

#9 Bobby Lashley & Braun Strowman def. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn

Kev
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were defeated again

Match: The dysfunctional tag team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn fell apart when Zayn tried to leave the match early and then threw Owens back into the ring, where he received a delayed vertical suplex from Lashley and was pinned for the 1-2-3. Following the match, Strowman stood tall after attacking both of his opponents.

Verdict: Well, this was largely pointless. We’ve seen similar matches and post-match attacks to this on a weekly basis on Raw over the last month, so this really didn't feel worthy of being on a PPV. The only positive: Zayn’s mannerisms were hilarious when he was trying to escape Lashley and Strowman.

Grade: D
