16) Rollins Retained The Title In A Cool Finish
The event featured a fatal 4-way ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. Seth Rollins put his title on the line against the Miz, Finn Balor, and Samoa Joe.
Rollins was able to retain the Title in a cool moment. He jumped off the top rope onto the ladder and grabbed the Title before Finn Balor. A really fun finish.

18) Major Heat In Saudi Arabia
The Daivari brothers appeared to insult the new Saudi Arabia signings. They came in waving the flag of Iran for some major heat from the crowd.
They ended up getting their butts kicked to make the crowd happy. This was certainly one way to garner some heat.

19) Styles vs Nakamura Was Better Than Their Wrestlemania Match
The event featured a highly anticipated rematch for the WWE Championship. AJ Styles defended against Shinsuke Nakamura. The storyline coming into the match was Nakamura’s use of the low-blow to get the better of Styles.
I thought that Styles vs Nakamura was better than their Wrestlemania match. I enjoyed it except for the finish.
This is already light years better than their Wrestlemania match #WWEGRR

20) AJ Styles Retains Via Double Countout
Styles retained his title after a double countout happened. Styles continued to attack Nakamura after the match. It is clear that WWE is keeping this feud going into Backlash.
Can’t wait to see it again.
