In the first list, we analysed first five PPVs of 2018. In this list, we will discuss the next five PPVs of the year 2018.
After Greatest Royal Rumble, we got a number of dual-branded PPVs. Some of them were good with, others being bangers.
It was once again not the best part of the year in terms of booking decisions or creativity. But when it comes to match quality, it was great, with a few Match of the year candidates taking place.
So let us discuss these five PPVs and try to find out their positives and negatives. We will also grade them upon these two aspects.
Do not forget to comment below and give us your views on the following grades.
#1 Backlash
When one will talk about the worst PPVs of the year, they will rate Backlash one of them.
Brock Lesnar did not defend his championship at the PPV. AJ Styles and Nakamura faced each other for the third time in a row at the PPV. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss got their rematches at the PPV against Carmella and Nia Jax respectively.
Daniel Bryan faced Big Cass in his first singles match after returning to the squared circle. Miz challenged Rollins for the IC Title and Orton challenged Hardy for the US Title at the card.
Positives
The only positive from this event was the quality of Women's Title matches and IC Title match. These three matches saved the show from being the worst show of the entire year. Styles vs Nakamura III was just decent enough to see.
Negatives
Instead of all these big matches, Roman Reigns vs Samoa Joe was the main event of the show. It was a very disappointing affair. People left the show in between the main event.
The tag match between Strowman/Lashley and Owens/Zayn was a high-profile squash match, and Bryan's returning singles PPV match was a disappointment for the fans as well.
Grade: 4.5/10
