WOR Video: Cody Rhodes continues the story at WWE Backlash

Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer discussed the main event of Backlash on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Cody Rhodes defeated Brock Lesnar after reversing a kimura into a pinfall at Backlash on Saturday. Both Alvarez and Meltzer praised it for being a quick, explosive match. At one point during the match, Brock Lesnar rammed his head into a turnbuckle causing him to bleed from the head. Unlike at WrestleMania, when the Hell in a Cell match had to be stopped due to blood, no such thing happened during this match.

“It wasn’t going to fly with Brock,” Meltzer said.

Overall, both Meltzer and Alvarez thought that Backlash was a good show, with a hot crowd throughout the night helping.

“The Bad Bunny match and the opener, they would have been great matches on any show. A lot of pops were Puerto Rican based…a lot of the matches would have been fine in another city, but nothing special. A lot of it was the crowd,” Meltzer said.
