WWE Backlash 2018: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn Vs. Braun Strowman & Bobby Lashley

Result: Lashley annihilates Owens with a Hanging Suplex for the win (8:40).

Rating: This match mostly stunk and served only to hint at the impending Owens-Zayn feud. It's both hilarious and embarrassing how fast Lashley has become a total non-entity since returning, and him being a bland face does him no favours at all. Also, winning a match with a suplex is never going to get the crowd on-side.

Nobody benefited from this, and it would've made far more sense to have Strowman score the win instead. Typical generic cool-down fare. 4/10
