Liv Morgan winning the main event definitely saved this RAW from being... not awful, but kinda bleh.

[asuka007]

I’ll give it a 6.5.

That ME, and Liv winning, had me feeling generous tonight.

[Deleted]

6

I liked the main event a lot. I would've put it on WrestleMania Backlash and had it open, would've been a great way to get the show started.

[asuka007]

So is Bianca just not having a match at Backlash?

She'll be at WWF New York eating a meatball hoagie.

Was going to go with a 6 but the main event was a good ending so I bumped it to a 7.

Yeah, it's basically a glorified house show which is fine. Plus, it builds some matches that should happen at HITC & MITB.

It's not really fine, the show shouldn't have WrestleMania in the title, and extends certain Mania feuds past Mania, which should be the end point for a lot of them. It's tedious, and the amount of card changes shows how little they actually cared about it. Just scrap it entirely if this is gonna be what it is imo.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

The show largely stunk, but that main event rocked.

I mean Backlash has literally always had Wrestlemania rematches. Also, feuds rarely end at Wrestlemania for the last like 25 years now unless it's a one-off.

Bianca's already beaten anyone and everyone, it's going to take longer to build anyone to seem like a threat.

Just feels pointless to me, like they had Roman/Nakamura and a Unification Tag match for them and scrapped it, Bianca's not even on the card, this is technically a PPV and it's just so... filler.

It could be a fun card don't get me wrong, but then don't present it as a PPV...

Is it really that big of a deal? It's a B-Level show lol. They're not asking you to pay $50 for it & not they're not asking for the crowd to pay Wrestlemania prices for the tickets. Like a filler PPV is fine in this era of the network. Not every PPV has to be built like a big show these days especially when they have multiple stadium shows coming up that will require big matches & attention.

If they were trying to present this as a hugely important show in a stadium? Yeah, this would be awful lol but it's just a fun filler show for people who subscribe to the network to watch.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

3 - it was very meh. Not even fun boring most of the time. Just boring. Pacing hurt it a ton.

Can they at least put Rhea vs. Liv on the show maybe? The only women’s match so far is Charlotte vs. Ronda.

I don't think you can rule it out with the attention their feud got.

[Push R Truth]

didn't watch. They advertised Roman and I didn't want to get bored seeing the same thing I've seen the last couple years and the same thing that they'll show for the next coming years too.

They could’ve made it a bigger deal but they’re using it as a filler PPV until the next big stadium show next month. Not sure why that’s a big deal. Might benefit the booking to slow things down like this with a cool down show, give better pacing like AEW sometimes has with 4 PPVs (though I think 6-8 might be the best number for pacing purposes).
