Summary

It seems like everyone’s got opinions on Sunday’s WWE show Backlash. Audiences in attendance walked out on the main event of Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns. But was the match really all that bad? Or has WWE just put Roman in such a poor position after WrestleMania that this level of disconnect between the product and the fans is understandable? Contributing to the disappointment in the show was that the WWE championship match between Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles did not close out the evening. Is this feud still working after two matches ending in non-finishes? And who should come away with the WWE title at this point? Plus, we look at the upcoming fourth installment in the much-loved Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada series. After a respective record 1-1-1, is it time for Kenny to finally get that IWGP title? And with Chris Jericho officially setting his sights on New Japan’s Intercontinental Title, there’s a lot to keep an eye on in the land of the rising sun. All of this and a look at the latest in NXT, 205 Live and the… unusual entrance of Mandy Rose. The Three Count Lindsey put over the latest edition of Up Up Down Down featuring Ruby Riot. Mike put over the new podcast 83 Weeks. Hal put over Elias at Backlash. Hosted by Hal Lublin, Mike Eagle, and Lindsey Kelk. Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
