The main event of Backlash was the match between Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe. It appears as if some fans in attendance at the show in Newark, New Jersey left early instead of watching the match.
A video has surfaced of multiple fans leaving before the show is over. Kind of puts the “beat the traffic” chant into a little more context. Here is the video:
