WWE's Backlash formatting was totally deliberate. There's no way that Street Profits/Viking Raiders/Akira Tozawa/monster silliness took place right before the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" by coincidence. It was like the promotion were tying to go off the deep end so much that anything would feel normal and serious by comparison.

Nice tactics, admittedly, but that garbage monster hand was overkill. Everyone knows that Braun Strowman is the only true 'Monster Among Men'.
