[5/10/25] WWE Backlash: St. Louis - Premium Live Event (7pm ET)

[Silkk]

Seth’s storyline is the biggest story coming out of Mania and he’s not even on the Backlash card

Iyo had the best match at Mania, not on the Backlash card

Street Profits had one of the best TLC matches ever, not on the Backlash card

All them fuccking multi man matches at mania could’ve easily spinned off into singles matches too but nope

Completely forgot that this sh1t is happening tomorrow night. Triple K drop the ball on this event and it's going to be a problem if he doesn't start putting better matches on these PLEs in the next few months. Can't save everything for a big moment because fans interest is going to start to waver. Not everything needs "long-term booking" to get the bigger picture. Sometimes, a quick hot feud between two stars will keep people more excited than a slow burn.

This entire post. You gotta give people a reason to stick around for the big moments, and I'm seeing more people say they're just watching recaps.

Will y’all stop complaining and just wait until the show is over to say if it was good or not? Like aren’t y’all tired of hate watching everything all the time? I know I know the internet is the place where we have to give out every opinion you have but damn this place doesn’t feel like wrestling fans coming to talk it feel like people who hate the product listing all the reason they hate the product.

How did a rehashed In Your House PPV in Badd Blood have a better buildup/hype

Wanting to see stars =/= Hating the product

Outside of The Rock & HITC

Show was pretty standard

The build was great though, Especially that Cody/Roman Atlanta promo

True but it FELT bigger, that PLE set off the FEIN! FEIN! FEIN! track usage with those Cody/Metro ads, marked the last time Judgment Day was somewhat interesting (completely fell apart after Raquel Rodriguez botched her return to join), crowd was excited for Tiffy’s cash-in tease on Nia, etc.

EDIT: @Silkk forgot how fire that promo was

Backlash is also a B PLE but with none of that effort, at all

Best thing about Backlash this year is the theme and moving graphics returning.
