Best and worst of Backlash 2018

#2 Worst: Devaluing the WWE Championship

How did two nontitle matches main event the pay-per-view?

AJ Styles versus Shinsuke Nakamura was the third last match on the card. Their match was followed by two meaningless, non-title matches. What does it say about SmackDown Live and what the company thinks of the blue brand?

What does it say about the prestige of the WWE Championship when compared to the significantly more respected Universal title?

After a DOUBLE LOW BLOW, neither @AJStylesOrg nor @ShinsukeN could answer the count of 1️⃣0️⃣, so AJ Styles is STILL your @WWE Champion! #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/Aql9vG3iZ2

Considering that the Styles vs. Nakamura match was actually better than the two matches that followed it, this was a real travesty. No wonder the crowd turned on the main event.
