#1 Worst: No title changes

This show felt even duller than the Greatest Royal Rumble

There was not a single title change at Backlash. Yes, not one title change across the two brands. At the end of three hours, we felt a little shortchanged because of the same. We had the very same problem with the Greatest Royal Rumble too.

So, no count out but you can be counted down.Full pay-per-view with no title changes.And people said the Greatest Royal Rumble was a glorified house show...#WWEBacklash

With no title change and no storyline running across most of the featured matches, the show just felt rather unimportant overall. We just hope that WWE pulls up their socks on RAW and SmackDown Live, this week.
