5 Surprising Moments From Backlash 2018

# 1 The Audience Turns on a Boring Main Event

This is literally the only exciting part of the match.

So when will Vince McMahon and WWE management learn? The majority of WWE fans do not want Roman Reigns in the main event in 2018. He hasn’t gotten cheered for a majority of the year.

At tonight’s match fans chanted “This is Boring”, “Rusev Day” and “Beat the Traffic” during the “main event”. I am thinking fans are sick of seeing an unpopular performer pushed to the moon constantly against their own wishes.

The match itself did no real favors to turn the crowd’s opinion back in their favor. Samoa Joe had Roman in a headlock for a majority of the 19-minute match. The action was slow and mat-based. The finish was out of nowhere with a random spear.

When the match ended and the first thing you see is a majority of the fans leaving, that isn’t a good sign. I was surprised to see how far Roman has fallen so quickly. This was a terrible main event.
