1) Paige Lied To Us About Backlash
Smackdown Live this week kicked off with Paige. She spoke about Backlash this weekend and called the event a “smashing success”.

3) Really Fun Opening Match
The match between Jeff and the Miz turned out to be a lot of fun. It lasted for a decent amount of time and I thought that they both worked well together. A really good opening match!
The Miz has been putting on some solid matches lately.

4) The Miz Qualified For The Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
The Miz ended up pinning Jeff Hardy to qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank ladder match. Jeff hit the Swanton Bomb but the Miz was able to quickly roll him up for the victory.
