WWE Backlash 2018

The event focuses on traditional athletic competition and scripted rivalries without highlighting any queer identities or same-sex relationships.

Female competitors such as Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair have significant screen time and play key roles. However, the storylines rely on traditional masculine leadership and a division between different athlete categories.

The roster includes a wide range of ethnicities, featuring Black, Samoan, Hispanic, and Asian performers. Diverse athletes hold central championship roles, avoiding a focus solely on white athletes.

The production upholds Western entertainment norms and capitalist structures. It uses traditional storylines rather than challenging established institutions or questioning traditional power structures.

The presentation emphasizes physical perfection and peak athletic performance. There is no representation of neurodivergence, physical disabilities, or chronic illnesses within the storylines.
