I took a little break this week from blogging, and now that Backlash is over... it's time to get back to work. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!
-Kicking off Backlash: Fatal 4 Way for the US Title
I enjoyed this for the most part, and everything that I thought was going to happen...didn't. However, that didn't stop it from being very good overall. Sadly, this was my only window to shower and get ready for bed.. so I did miss some here and there. I honestly can't wait for Drew and Damian to feud some more (if they do) because they work so well together. Hopefully after that very iffy table situation, Drew is all good. In the end, it was Jeff Cobb that made himself known to help out Jacob to retain the title. Hmm.. Jacob didn't look happy either. Are we finally seeing the straw that broke it all? Friday will for sure be interesting moving forward.
-Lyra Valkyria vs. Becky Lynch
I had an idea of what this match was going to be, and it for sure wasn't this. This match was freaking AMAZING and these two torn the house down with this overall. If you haven't watched this match.. you should 110%.. because I was blown away. The ending tho... I wasn't expecting Lyra to pull off a full blown upset and retain her title. It looks like the importance of this title just increased. While I wasn't sure at first, this whole situation is going to be HUGE.. and in the end, Becky will be IC champ.
-Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta
I was pretty excited for this match overall.. and it delivered. Dom did wonderful and I have loved seeing his progress over time. Dude is going to be a huge baby face. We did see the Judgement Day come out to seemingly help Dom.. but there was some weirdness coming from Finn. Did anyone else catch that? However there was no change of title, and there was no turn.. Dom picked up the win and left with Judgement Day to end it. The turn is COMING and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it on the fall out on Monday Night Raw.
-Gunther vs. Pat McAfee
This was pretty good. Like, much better than I thought it would be. Pat gave it his all... and lasted A LOT longer than I thought he would. We did see Michael Cole get involved but that was short lived.. I swear I thought we were going to see a MASSIVE upset but in the end.. Gunther made Pat pass out. While the match wasn't 5 star.. it was very good overall.
-John Cena vs. Randy Orton
What the hell was even this? Overall the match was good. Just good. The ending... holy crap. I was pretty shocked overall.. the ending was very bleak and not what I really expected. I guess this once again goes back to "Cena ruining wrestling"... We saw him trying to cheat.. not once, but multiple times.. the ref going down multiple times was kind of getting old, and of course the random "management" coming out to try to get control of it all. ANDDDD we got Nick being RKO'd for the what.. 3rd time? This is for sure going to be something. And Cena retained. I love Cena and all.. but this whole story line has been iffy. Give me a little something more. Oh.. and the random ass R Truth segment. And after the whole post show.. we are FOR SURE getting Truth vs Cena at Saturday Night Main Event in 2 weeks.
Overall: 7.3/10

-What will become of Judgement Day after Backlash? Finn didn't look pleased.
-Rhea and Iyo tag match, can they work together?
-WWE Draft NEWS?
-MIB qualifying matches?
-Do you think we will see any glitches?
-Will Jey respond after being attacked by Logan Paul?
-How will Becky react after LOSING to Lyra?
We are now 2 weeks away from Main Event... what will the remaining 2 matches be? And 2 weeks after that... we will have Money in the Bank. Things are heating up leading into the summer... lighting up the way for some MAJOR matches at the 1st ever 2 NIGHT Summer Slam.
until next time
