WOL: WWE Backlash fallout

Editor’s Note: This week’s show was recorded prior to the announcement Sabu had passed away.

WWE Backlash took place Saturday and Andrew Zarian breaks everything down on today’s Wrestling Observer Live.

That includes the main event featuring John Cena vs. Randy Orton, taking us back to 2004. He also discusses the standout performers, including Jacob Fatu and Lyra Valkyria.

He looks at this past week’s AEW TV shows and how they are using these smaller venues to their advantage, also giving what seems like weekly praise to the character work of Toni Storm.

Plus, thoughts on this week’s SmackDown, Mercedes Mone dropping the NJPW Strong Women’s Title,, and the best thing of the week!
