WWE fans since i've started doing these wrestling reviews the one thing i've not done yet is review a current WWE PPV and well you don't get anymore current then the show that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today. I will fully admit that there's one reason as to why i'm reviewing this show and yes I will be talking about that reason very soon in this very review nd so join me as I review the WWE PPV that has just aired a few days ago with the PPV event in question being called simply "WWE Wrestlemaina Backlash" and yes there might be a spoilery image in this review so i'm letting you all know now so you know to expect it anyways enjoy.
I will fully admit that I really haven't watched that much WWE recently which did make it a little bit hard for me to follow the stories that are being advanced in this event. However at the same time this event does feature some video packages which fully catch people up with whatever match is being hyped up and as such I have to say that while you don't really need to have seen every single WWE show in the lead up to this event it would help if you did watch every single WWE show that aired in the lead up to this event / show.
This was my first time seeing the newly designed WWE Thunderdome in action and I have to say that even tho i've seen the newly designed WWE Thunderdome in various WWE Youtube videos. Nothing is going to beat seeing a new arena in a full show for the first time and I have to say that the newly designed / newly built WWE Thunderdome really does look good and it's something that I can very easily see becoming either an iconic WWE arena and as well being the arena that WWE uses when the WWE does decide to bring fans back at ringside.
I will very fully admit that I did miss the fact that WWE didn't use a unique set for this show since this show is using the Wrestlemania name. It would have made alot of sense for WWE to use a unique set for this event but for some reason they instead chose to use what is now the standard Raw and Smackdown set which to make takes away from the this set because it's something that we've seen on a weekly basis and not something that makes this event feel special.
Now this event was sponsored by the film Army Of The Dead and my god do they like to remind you that this event was sponsored by Army Of The Dead because they tell you every few minuets and they have the name Army Of The Dead plastered all over the Thunderdome and all over the reply screen. However the most weird bit of this promotion / sponsorship is the fact that they have actual zombies show up and well I have to say that it was pretty corny and campy seeing zombies appear on this wrestling event however that was kind of the point and so I can't really hate on the WWE for including zombies on this show because I was very entertained.
Now then boys and girls as someone who is a bit of a Disney fan I honestly did like Charlottes ring attire / ring gear that she used for this show. Since it's clear as day that Charlotte's ring gear for this show is clearly inspired by the Disney villain Cruella Deville and i'm surprised that they didn't pick up on this during the actual show since in my opinion at least it's something that fits the current version of Charlotte.
Out of the two women's matches that are on this show the one that I thought was better was the triple threat match with Asuka vs Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte. Simply because all three women got alot of inventive offense in but at the same time there was quite a few very noticeable botches as well which for me at least those botches took me out of the match which is a shame because the match itself is in my opinion at least really freaking good.
This was also my first time seeing Dominik Mysterio in action and I have to say just based of the few moments that he had in the ring I honestly do feel that Dominik Mysterio does have potential to be the next big thing in WWE but he has to stop teaming his father otherwise he'll constantly be compared to his father. However only Dominik Mysterio can make himself the next big thing in WWE since at the end of the day it's up to him to get over with the fans and it's up to him to take any opportunity that Vince McMahon and the WWE offer him.
This event has a grand total running time of three hours and one minuets and thirty three seconds which I felt was about right for this particular WWE PPV event. Simply because i'm a from a time when almost every single WWE PPV event was around three hours long and so to this even be around three hours long to me just felt right because it makes the event feel all the more epic and it helps that the pacing for this event was in my opinion at least really freaking good.
In terms of which of the men's matches that is my personal favourite for me it's a tie between the Braun Strowman vs Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley triple threat match or the Roman Reigns vs Cesaro match. Since both matches were really good with every single competitor in either of the mentioned matches coming out of the respective matches looking really strong and all five men get true moments to shine in their respective matches which makes the respective matches all the more exciting but that's just what I personally think and that's just in my very humble and as well as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.
Overall this was a rather solid event but there was quite a few botches in some of the matches and plus there was zombies for literally no reason whatsoever other then to do a crossover with the film Army Of The Dead. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both of the good and as well as being both of the bad things about this event in this very review and as such and after much thought this WWE PPV event gets a solid 7 out of 10 from me personally.
AS for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and , the official Army Of The Dead fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this particular WWE PPV even being Google Images simply just because Google Images actually has quite a few images from this particular WWE PPV event up on as I just said Google Images.
