5) JBL Casually Buried NJPW

Okay buried is probably the wrong word. While mentioning Shinsuke Nakamura’s time in Japan, JBL constantly referred to it as the ‘minor leagues’.

This was sure to make some wrestling fans upset:

Lol WWE casually trying to insinuate NJPW is minor leagues ? #WWEBacklash

JBL just basically said NJPW is the minor leagues and Dolph is better than anyone they have….. Ok Then #WWEBacklash

Giving some fans some more fuel to dislike JBL.

6) A Solid Debut For Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura faced off against Dolph Ziggler in the first match (on the main card) of WWE Backlash. The match didn’t exactly blow the roof off the joint but it was solid and a good showcase for Nakamura.

Nakamura won after hitting Ziggler with the Kinsasha!

Like I said, it was a solid debut. Not mind-blowing but solid.
