Backlash 2018: Biggest winners and losers

AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Backlash
A disappointing ending, but perhaps a necessary one

Backlash is over, and it stands a good chance of being WWE's worst main roster pay-per-view of 2018.

With no less than four awful matches and a fair share of bad booking decisions, the event came close to being a total disaster, if not for two matches and a funny, but ultimately meaningless, Elias segment.

Did anyone manage to come out of this train wreck with the wind in their sails?


Loser: Bayley

More wheel spinning. That's what this match was, though it wound up being one of the better-worked matches of the night. No big new developments with Sasha Banks came. Last night was a great opportunity to make that happen.

We'll see if anything develops tonight on Raw, but as it is, Bayley lost a match with no fanfare and if nothing happens tonight, will remain in a suspended state of animation.
