WWE Backlash 2018: 10 Things WWE Got Right

1. AJ Low-Blowing Nakamura Back

When Nakamura cracked AJ in the nuts again at Backlash, it almost seemed for a moment like Styles had learned his lesson and decided to wear a protective cup. It wasn't to be. Though Shinsuke's face contorted into one that screamed pain, Styles hadn't taken precautions.

Nah, he just wanted to ball-shot Shinsuke right back.

It's about bloody time this happened. Watching AJ, the clever babyface champion, do nothing to act on Nakamura's repeated low-blows over the past month or so has been frustrating for fans. At least on this occasion, he took some testicle-crushing revenge on his enemy.

We're not sure when the last WWE Title match to end with a double low-blow was however. A unique finish or not, it's one that didn't go down well, so (to a certain degree) seeing Styles give Nakamura a taste of his own medicine earlier was fun enough.
