WWE Backlash 2018: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

By Jack Pooley / May 7, 2018

3. Roman Reigns Vs. Samoa Joe

Result: Reigns drills Joe with the Spear for the win (18:10).

Rating: There have been many worse PPV main events than this, but how many of them had fans leaving the arena in droves before it was over, not to mention chanting "Beat the traffic"?

This match should've just been a 10-minute demolition derby with tons of outside extras, but instead it was an overlong, bloated, interminable bore, full of dull rest holds and played in front of a crowd who couldn't care much less.

Joe was trying, as he almost always does, but Roman just went through his usual motions ahead of a woefully predictable finish. This benefited nobody, really. 5/10
