Comparing Crown Jewel To Backlash 2018

Worse: Standing out for all the wrong reasons

If Backlash had one saving grace, it was the opening match between Seth Rollins and The Miz, which was a match of the year candidate and certainly one of the main roster's strongest matches in 2018. For me, that match lifted Backlash above Extreme Rules in July and kept it afloat as not being the worst event of the year.

Does it do the same for Crown Jewel? Crown Jewel offered nothing even close to a match like this. There's at least one reason to go back and rewatch something from the Backlash pay per view. Is there a reason to go back and watch Crown Jewel? I would venture it's better to just try and forget that this show ever happened. WWE certainly appears to want to. It almost felt like they knew it was going to be an embarrassment so tried to consciously make the event as such so no one would watch it again.
