Ranking the Worst PPVs of 2018

#2 Backlash

There really wasn't much to write about for Backlash

Coming off the back of Wrestlemania, Backlash had a stacked lineup with many feuds spilling over from the previous PPV. It opened well with the match between Seth Rollins and The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship but it all went downhill from there.

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss in a WrestleMania rematch to retain the Raw Women's Championship, but it was a drag at best. Jeff Hardy Vs Randy Orton was a fun encounter for the United States Championship with the veterans putting on a good show.

But then things really started taking a downward trend. Big Cass and Carmella haven't been rated highly in the ring anyways but it was expected that they would be carried through the match by Daniel Bryan and Charlotte Flair, respectively. Sadly, both the bouts were below expectations and didn't keep the audience engaged for long.

Reigns and Joe have always had strong in-ring chemistry, but with no stakes in their match at Backlash, the fans quickly showed their disinterest by leaving the event before it was over. The telltale way in which Reigns won almost ratified the audience's decision to leave early.

The match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura was a draw while the tag team matchup between Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, on the other hand, didn't have any stakes attached to it.
