So sick of "you deserve it" and "this is awesome" every other match.

I thought Backlash was pretty decent overall.
• The Women's Championship match was actually pretty good, even though around 85% of the match was just women getting thrown out of the ring. Alexa Bliss has really been growing on me since the draft and I feel that she was the stand out wrestler from that match, and I'm adding her to my "Future big players in the Women's Division" list, that currently consists of Nia Jax and Dana Brooke. I'm a fan of all three of these women. However, I really feel like she didn't deserve to be the first eliminated. The match was pretty good, that was up until the eliminations. I have no idea how Carmella managed to be the last eliminated though. She's just really really really bad. She's like "The New Era's" Kelly Kelly in that she's absolutely shit, but Vince & Co. are blind to it and keep pushing her. Also, where's the love for Natalya? She's most probably the best female wrestler the WWE has at the moment, but yet all she's achieved in her eight years with the company is a two month reign as Divas Champion. I feel she deserves so much more than that. Why not take the title from Becky Lynch in the future and have a long heel run with the title. That would be good. Also, finally on the women's match. I noticed that whoever scored the elimination, would be the next to be eliminated. Alexa Bliss was eliminated by Naomi Naomi was then eliminated by Natalya Natalya was then eliminated by Nikki Bella Nikki Bella was then eliminated by Carmella Carmella was then eliminated by Becky Lynch • I like that The Usos are heels now but the "We're bad now so we don't smile and we wear all black because black is bad" thing is a bit "meh". Hopefully they get some proper ring attire in the future. I do however feel that the Usos turning heel is what SmackDown's Tag Team Division needed. Now the division has a legit heel team, whereas before, it lacked one. All it had was The Ascension, Breezango and The Vaudevillains. Two jobber teams and a comedy team. As for The Hype Bros., I'm not really feeling it. I feel both could be so much better as singles competitors. Keep Zack Ryder around the Intercontinental Championship and have Mojo be sort of the "New Ryback", either heel or face. Just seeing him bulldoze into The Usos was pretty cool and along with his size and speed, I feel he could make a success of a singles run. • Ziggler/Miz was the match of the night in my opinion, and I feel that maybe they were given more time as the Bray/Orton match was canceled. It also looks like that they've decided to continue this Miz/Bryan angle too, which is good. I'm interested, and Miz has been so good lately. • Bray/Kane was what I expected (in that I expected Kane to be the replacement) but I didn't expect Kane to win. I actually legitimately had a wee short laugh when Kane got the three count, but the match actually turned out to be a decent one. I enjoyed it anyway. • Usos/Slater & Rhyno was fantastic. I don't think I've ever wanted a tag team to win so badly in my life. I was actually celebrating when they won. Slater has been nothing but top notch entertainment for so long now, and becoming one half of the first ever SmackDown Tag Team Champions was a great way to top everything off. On to Rhyno, and the guy has also been so good since returning to the main roster. I've always liked Rhyno, and seeing a veteran like him return to the main roster and be involved in a good and entertaining storyline and winning titles just makes me happy. That's the kind of thing I want to see when former talent returns. I want to see them be involved in angles, or win a few matches or a title or two. Not return to the main roster only to job to every single person they face, like Jinder has been doing and what I feel Hawkins will be doing too when he returns. • Styles/Ambrose was really good. For years now, dating back to around 2002/3, I always thought that AJ Styles would never be in the WWE, but here we are, it's 2016 and he's now the WWE Champion. Life is crazy. In the beginning (2002/3), I really didn't like Styles at all. The internet was loving him but I hated him. 13/14 year old me thought he was overrated and just "flipped about a lot". Now though, I can say that I don't hate him. I can actually see why he had a lot of fans back in the day. He is good and is nowhere near as bad as teenage me thought. With this win though, I feel that once Ambrose gets his rematch and loses, we'll see the return of Cena, who will then chase the title. We'll probably see Cena/Styles for the title at either Royal Rumble or, if not there, then WrestleMania, where Cena will win and tie Flair's record of 16 World Championships. Although I wouldn't like Cena to beat Flair's record, him tying it would be ok....I guess. Beating Styles to do it would be cool though and if that were to happen, it means we all have a long AJ Styles WWE Championship reign to look forward to, and that sounds pretty good. |

Feel like they could have kept the same gear/paint and still be heel instead of doing stereotypical "we are super serious now and can't show any personality" thing.........

The best part of the Usos heel turn is that their haka is dead and buried.

Who the fuck is Jagger Eaton
Also I'd love it if Miz gets little doses of reality during his delusional star gimmick and they make him a bit more vicious and cause him to go into denial |

Seems like Usos took a page out of Pentagon Jr's book going all black for their new gear. All that's missing is one of them getting called Uso Dark.

I'm really happy for Becky Lynch. I'd like her to get a bigger moment, but I have a feeling Nikki will turn heel, take the belt and Becky might win it back at WrestleMania anyway. Nice little moment to say "thank you" for being the gem in the division she has been. Sensible babyface booking of the division too. Nikki would have gotten booed, which might have been interesting long-term, but this makes people care more about the belt now.
Alexa looked hot as fuck tonight. Kudos for her taking that blockbuster/powerbomb. Contrary to belief, I don't hate her -- I just don't think she's anywhere near ready for her spot, but that was a well planned out opener. |
