WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2021: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
7. Lumberjack Match: The Miz Vs. Damian Priest
Result: Priest puts Miz away with the Reckoning for the win (7:00).
Rating: Zombie lumberjacks are now a thing that has happened in WWE. It was already a carny-ass proposition at best, and it didn't help that it instantly conjured memories of ECW's infamous Zombie skit (thanks for the reminder, Corey).
Of course this was really just a blatant paid product placement for the new Batista-starring Netflix movie Army of the Dead, and the embarrassing cynicism on display, to shove an advertisement into an actual match, speaks for itself.
Sadly they didn't really do anything fun or interesting with the gimmick, beyond Miz getting "eaten" by the zombie horde post-match. This didn't move the needle at all, and the fact people were only talking about the zombies means it completely undermined Priest's victory.
At least it didn't outstay its welcome, right? 3/10
