WrestleMania Backlash took over WWE's ThunderDome last night as the company presented five Championship matches which only saw one title change.
Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik made history when they became the first-ever father-son duo to become Tag Team Champions. The duo was able to overcome the threat of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode in order to lift their first piece of gold together.
Elsewhere, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Roman Reigns, and Bobby Lashley all found a way to retain their Championships, whilst WWE decided to promote Army of the Dead by including zombies in the match between Damian Priest and The Miz.
It was another stacked night of WWE action, but whilst there were several memorable moments, there were also a handful of botches that the WWE Universe may have missed.
#5. Why didn't Charlotte Flair break up the pin attempt in the WWE RAW Women's Championship match?
Rhea Ripley successfully defended her RAW Women's Championship against both Asuka and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match last night at WrestleMania Backlash.
The Nightmare was able to take advantage of a kick from Charlotte Flair to Asuka on the apron, which is when she delivered the Rip Tide to The Empress to pick up the victory.
It could be argued that Charlotte Flair had plenty of time to get back into the ring after delivering the kick to Asuka since she was only on the apron. Instead, The Queen seemingly got down off the apron and became a spectator as she watched Rhea Ripley retain her RAW Women's Championship from outside the ring.
It's unclear why Flair didn't even attempt to re-enter the ring and try to break up the pin after the move, but around 10 seconds elapsed from Charlotte's kick to Asuka until the end of the match and as seen from the video above, the former Champion had ample time to get back into the ring and break up the count.
This victory now means that Asuka will be out of the title picture, but the fact that Flair wasn't pinned to end the match could result in a one-on-one match at Hell in a Cell next month.
#4. Braun Strowman tries to wipe out both of his challengers at WWE WrestleMania Backlash
Bobby Lashley successfully defended his WWE Championship against both Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match at WrestleMania Backlash, but it was a match that saw a number of slight botches.
Throughout the course of his WWE career, Braun Strowman has proved that there are times when he can pull off cruiserweight style moves, despite his impressive size. Last night saw The Monster Among Men deliver a Cannonball style move off the apron to take out both Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley.
Strowman was able to hit McIntyre with the move, but he barely caught Lashley. Instead, The All Mighty was was forced to take a bump when there was barely any significant impact.
This was perhaps the only sour note of the match since all three men delivered in their triple threat match. In the end, it was Bobby Lashley who made it clear that he was the reigning "big man" on RAW.
#3. WWE made several production botches at WrestleMania Backlash
Despite being a company that is exceptionally proud of its production staff, WWE manages to brush many botches under the rug on a weekly basis.
Last night's WrestleMania Backlash was just another pay-per-view that once again contained several production botches. From Sonya Deville's mic being left on following her interview on the kick-off show, to the shocking camera angles and jumps throughout the main show.
Deville could be heard saying that she thought her interview had gone well whilst WWE was on an ad break following her appearance. It appears that her mic was left on and the former wrestler wasn't told to remain silent until it could be unplugged.
WWE is a global brand and once again the production values of the show fell much shorter than the WWE Universe had expected.
As noted, this happens on a regular basis. It appears that the company has more issues on pay-per-views than as part of their weekly shows, but it was apparent to many fans once again last night.
#2. Damian Priest vs The Miz was a very botchy affair at WWE's WrestleMania Backlash
Damian Priest and The Miz have been feuding on WWE TV now for a number of months. Even though Priest and Bad Bunny were able to pick up the victory last month at WrestleMania, the former NXT star has continued his feud with The A-Lister.
Last night at WrestleMania Backlash, Damian Priest chose to face The Miz in a lumberjack match, which was interestingly used as a way to promote Army of the Dead. The lumberjacks for the match were zombies and the match was contested under much darker lighting.
The lighting wasn't dark enough to cover several botches throughout the match, including Damian Priest's rough landing when he decided to climb to the top rope.
WWE's use of zombies on last night's show has been a huge talking point on Twitter as the WWE Universe has reacted negatively to the fact that this wasn't a normal lumberjack match. Despite being panned by WWE's fanbase, it appears that the zombies served their purpose.
#1. Bayley technically kicked out at WWE's WrestleMania Backlash
Bianca Belair put her WWE SmackDown Women's Championship on the line last night at WrestleMania Backlash for the first time since her victory back at WrestleMania last month.
Bayley holds the record as the longest-reigning SmackDown Women's Champion and was looking to reclaim that Championship when she took on Belair. The two women put on quite the show before Belair was able to pick up the win, but the end of the match has become one of the biggest questions of the night.
Belair was able to reverse Bayley's attempt at the Rose Plant into a rollup. But then it appears that Bayley actually kicked out as Belair had some kind of issue with her hair, which meant that she couldn't hold her opponent's leg.
This didn't seem as though it was the planned ending for what was one of the matches of the night, but it could now be the catalyst for the two women to continue their feud heading into next month's WWE Hell in a Cell event.
