I gave it a 6. I thought Raw was the better show. I did like the fact that Rhyno and Slater made it to the finals of the tag tournament. I also liked when AJ hit Ambrose in the balls, because face it, we all know I like crotch shots. The crotch shot is what made both Ric Flair and Toru Yano so amazing. So I respect it so much.

Other than that, the matches were all decent but I didn't get the entertainment value from this show that I got from Raw.

6/10

WWE pulled the Uso trigger!!!

Also Rhyno and Slater in the finals WOOO! GO DADDY!!!

What up with this hurting the testicles shit with AJ and Ambrose anyway?

 

[¡Tranquilo!]

What up with this hurting the testicles shit with AJ and Ambrose anyway?

Testicles seem to be the running gag with Bullet Club's WWE run...

 

[Prince Bálor]

The go-home show for Backlash was a tad bit disappointing, but OK oveall. 5/10

Positives:
- That backstage segment with DB/Shane-O Mac/Miz was good.

- The Miz vs Crews was good.

- Angry Styles throughout the night was hilarious.

- The women's tag match was solid.

- American Alpha defeating The Usos in like 30 seconds was the greatest thing ever. I dig the fact The Usos have turned heel, too. Good segment overall.

- Beauty & The Man-Beast vs The Hype Bros was decent.

- The closing segment with Styles and Ambrose was OK.

Negatives:
- The opening segment sucked. It was all over the place and overall it was a weak way to hype the 6-woman tag match, as well as Sunday's title match.

- That Fandango segment, followed by Kane coming out and hitting a Chokeslam on Fandango.

- Ambrose's comedy shit.
