7 things WWE subtly told us at Backlash 2020: Huge break-up expected, Randy Orton takes a big shot at NXT against Edge (June 14th, 2020)

#1. Truly a filler

Was there ever going to be any other outcome?

The moment this match was announced, something didn't feel right. Nothing about it felt like a big feud. Whereas if you look at post-WrestleMania, the first opponent that the WWE Universal Champion, Braun Strowman, had to get through was Bray Wyatt.

John Morrison and The Miz never seemed like legitimate opponents for the WWE Universal Championship and the nature of their feud seemingly proved that. They were pranking Braun Strowman to try to get into his head and at Backlash 2020, it backfired in a big way.

Now, the rules stated that the person to pin Braun Strowman would become the WWE Universal Champion and that there was no concept of co-Champions. This infuriated The Miz, who let his insecurity get the better of him.

Just when Morrison looked like he was going to get the pinfall, The Miz broke it up. While we don't think it'll lead to any cracks in the team going forward, we're a bit disappointed with the way this feud and match played out. It was ultimately nothing but a filler.
