10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE WrestleMania Backlash

10. Adnan Virk Isn't Pay-Per-View Quality

Look at that smile.

That is the smile, albeit a clearly forced one, of a previously accomplished sports broadcaster with a legitimately outstanding CV to his name that is being thrust in at the deep end by having to present decent commentary on a weekly basis for what is the worst weekly professional wrestling show in existence. No one can do such a thing because Raw is just a bad show.

Adnan Virk, however, hasn't helped things. Granted, he's still relatively new to the WWE landscape, having only debuted as a Raw commentator on the 12 April edition. Although this year's Raw After 'Mania episode was a letdown on many, many levels, it's still a tough task for anyone new to WWE's announce booth.

That makes WrestleMania Backlash the first pay-per-view for Adnan's WWE career. He needs to be a step above his work on Monday nights, which has been quite lacklustre thus far. If he can't even do a good job on weekly television to the point that it's worked into a Sheamus promo, then how does he expect to fair on a pay-per-view stage?

Bad commentary massively detracts from what could be an otherwise very good professional wrestling match. Where Virk lacks on Sunday must be backed up by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton.
