WWE Backlash 2016: Reactions & Review

Match of the Night

Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles!


Final Verdict

The return of Backlash resulted in a pretty good show. The Women’s Championship match was such a great way to kick off this PPV since it gave us a barn burner of a match. A lot of the other contests on the card were solid, but the main event clearly made this show worth seeing for the 1st time or re-watching. This was a event that featured several WWE milestones: the crowning of SmackDown Live’s 1st ever Women’s Champion and New Era Tag Team Champions, AJ’s official start as WWE World Champion and the welcome debut of a heel Usos tandem. This entire PPV was a breeze to sit through since it wasn’t overbooked to death. Make sure you check out AJ vs. Ambrose and the Women’s Championship match more than anything else. Backlash 2016 was much better than we expected it to be. SmackDown Live’s off to a good start with their new brand exclusive PPV’s.


Final Score: 3 & a Half out of 5 Stars
