17) The Main Event Featured A TON Of Rest Holds
The main event of Backlash was the match between Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe. The match featured a LOT of rest holds. Safe to say that social media wasn’t too impressed:
Can we get a rest hold count for tonight? Has to be over 20. #WWEBacklash

18) Roman Reigns Defeated Samoa Joe
After getting beat up for the majority of the match, Roman Reigns was able to hit a spear for the victory. An ending that will likely piss of a good portion of the fanbase.
It was a MUST-WIN for @WWERomanReigns, and #TheBigDog did JUST THAT! #WWEBacklash pic.twitter.com/sMhXu5kpOK
