It was WWE Backlash eve in Dayton, Ohio, for "WWE SmackDown," and tag team action occupied the nightly spotlight. That all came before the Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena closed out the night.
"WWE Raw" has dominated the company's intrigue with a major storyline and world title featured regularly. That's always the problem when a world champion is somewhat of a part-time role, like Cena in this farewell tour. One of WWE's flagship shows always suffers, and it's been the Friday night festivities thus far.
Third time's the charm.
It's a shame WWE is cramming all the Cena and Randy Orton lore into such a short amount of time because it would be surprising to see them continue feuding post-Backlash.
