Burning Bridges: ROWP Reviews Backlash and Breaks Down the State of Play in WWE | SEASON 2 | EP 36 |

About this episode

The episode reviews WWE's Backlash event and discusses the current state of play in WWE, including key match outcomes and future threats.

Roman Reigns may have beaten his “little cousin” Jacob Fatu in the World Heavyweight Title match, but The Samoan Werewolf has been beating Roman down in a major way. The Tribal Chief was left laying in the ring at Backlash and left laid out ringside on Monday Night Raw. The OTC isn’t the only champ on the hot seat. Gunther has his sights set on Cody Rhodes. We break down just how viable a threat The Ring General is to The American Nightmare. As we continue to break down all the big things poppin’ in WWE, we also take a break to give you our expectations for Drake’s new Iceman LP.
