6 Ups & 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Feb 4)
5. Miller Time
WWE
Backstage shouldn't be like the main roster - positives should always be heightened to mask hidden negatives, not the other way around.
'Kinda Funny' founder Greg Miller was this week's non-wrestling special guest, but Backstage continued its run of rather awkward celebrity segments by forcing through an awkward interview spot with relative newbie Ember Moon.
The former NXT Champion is such a vibrant pro wrestler, and that personality often extends to her role here. Holding court with an outsider was a slight step too far, not least with seasoned pro Renee Young there to carry such a segment.
