. PLANTS ! While it ranks as the lowest out of every match, 's clash with Omos was an improvement from WrestleMania. The two powerhouses laid in some shots at each other, with the dynamic being different due to MVP's presence in The Nigerian Giant's corner. Lashley was distracted by his former manager, who was subject to a Hurt Lock outside the ring. The former WWE Champion locked Omos in the deadly submission as well, but he got out of it. MVP proved crucial at the finish, which saw him hit Bobby Lashley with his cane before the seven-footer won with the Choke Bomb. After avenging his previous loss, he looked much better at WrestleMania Backlash. Hopefully, the third match is even better if WWE goes ahead with it. Grade: B-
. will NOT quit! It looks like Charlotte Flair is from WWE after losing her SmackDown Women's Championship to Ronda Rousey. She has definitely earned it. The two women came into WrestleMania Backlash without the greatest build, but they delivered spectacularly. Their 'I Quit' Match was supremely brutal and took place all around the arena. From kendo stick fights on the stage to ringside brawls and even their fight in the crowd, Flair, and Rousey indeed went for each other. Some of the most memorable spots included Charlotte's powerbomb into the barricade and an upside-down Armbar on the turnbuckle, both of which had brutal implications. The Baddest Woman on the Planet got the win with a chair-assisted Armbar. It was a hard-fought bout, but is champion again in the end. Hopefully, this can help her kick on and enjoy a successful reign atop the SmackDown women's division following WrestleMania Backlash. Grade: A

A fun way for WWE to close WrestleMania Backlash. The first of four top-class matches from WrestleMania Backlash, The Bloodline's main event win over RK-Bro and Drew McIntyre, was just a bunch of fun. Six WWE Superstars who are over with the fans, showcased several big spots throughout the bout's duration. Riddle and Randy Orton were in top form as their sequences with The Usos remained hot as ever. The Viper's RKO on was particularly excellent. However, The Tribal Chief's budding issue with Drew McIntyre was the main story here. The two heavyweights slugged it out, with Reigns getting the upper hand on McIntyre by slamming him through the announce table. He ultimately decided the match with a spear on Riddle after a blind tag on Jey Uso. This supremely entertaining WWE-style match made up in chaos for what it lacked in storytelling. A true testament to all six performers who made this contest with no stakes feel like a worthy main event to WrestleMania Backlash. Grade: A-#3 Edge vs AJ Styles

Styles brought out the pitbull in him to show aggression towards , only for the WWE Hall of Famer to target his injured shoulder. Although AJ would constantly fight back, the Rated-R Superstar had most of the control. Both hit their finishers for near-falls, as the former New Japan star went to the top rope for a modified Phenomenal Forearm. Damian Priest showed up but did not get involved but was instead attacked by Finn Balor. A hooded figure cost AJ Styles the win among the commotion, with Rhea Ripley revealing herself as the newest member of Judgment Day. Edge choked his opponent out, maintaining his momentum as the sadistic veteran of WWE. Grade: A#2 Charlotte Flair vs Ronda Rousey - WWE SmackDown Women s Championship
