Liam has been reporting & analyzing wrestling news since early 2018. Immersed in wrestling for 18 years, he has over 11,000 published articles and led WrestleTalk.com's coverage from 2022 until mid 2026.

With Backlash 2018 in the rear-view mirror, and thank God for that, we’re on the road to Money in the Bank, which presumably means qualifying matches galore over the coming weeks.

The first few qualifying matches occurred on this week’s Raw and SmackDown Live shows, but was it the red brand or ‘Team Blue’ that fared better this week?

As always, we split the shows into three categories, the three most important characteristics of a good wrestling show: ‘Quality of Matches’, the ‘Storyline Progression/Pay-per-view Build, and any other ‘Fun’ moments throughout each show.
