Backlash: Official Card & Discussion

[Reinheimer]

Feel the fallout from Wrestlemania 22 when WWE returns to PPV with the Raw brand Backlash. Backlash comes live to you on PPV and from The Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky on April 30th. Already the PPV is shaping up nicely. In the main event we will see the WWE Champion John Cena, defend his title against 'The King Of Kings' Triple H, and 'The Rated R Superstar' Edge in a triple threat match. Also we will see The McMahons take on 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels and God? No doubt this will be another quality PPV by the WWE. One you won't want to miss!



On April 2nd in one of his toughest championship bouts yet, John Cena successfuly retained his strap against Triple H in the main event at Wrestlemania. But that wasn't all for John Cena. The next night on Raw Triple H came out demanding a rematch, but it was difficult concidering he had no rematch clause. Jumping at the oppertunaty, Edge also came out fresh of a win at Mania saying he's the one who deserves the title shot at Backlash. Later on that night it was a handycap match pitting John Cena aganist Triple H and Edge. When it looked like the unlikely team were coexisting, Edge accedentally hit Triple H with a spear. This started a huge brawl between the two. At the end of the night it was Triple H standing over John Cena. Now the match has been made and it will be Triple H vs. Edge vs. John Cena at Backlash for the WWE Championship. Triple H was able to get the better of both men on April 3rd, but will that be the same on April 30th? Or will Cena show us again that he won't back down and find a way to win? What about Edge, will he walk out with the gold? Either way, this is going to be an incredible match up!


For months now the McMahons have been making Shawn Michaels life a living hell. With great momentum leading into Wrestlemania, it looked like Vince McMahon may actually have defeted the 'Heartbreak Kid', but that wasn't the case. Shawn Michaels was able to defeat the sixty year old, and was set to drop the whole thing with the McMahons, but they had other plans. In an attempt to cover up the loss at Mania, Shane said it was 'devine intervention' which helpt him win the match, and that he will need it at Backlash. Then they announced the match. At Backlash it will be The McMahons vs. Shawn Michaels and God? Will this devine intervention help out Michaels? Or will he be in for a run for his money? Shawn Michaels bad luck obviously isn't over yet.

I don't know why they are putting Edge in the Championship match, personally, i never thought he was a good champion. I also wonder if thy will go through with the God angle or will Michaels get a tag team partner in the next few weeks.

The card looks great so far. Hopefully it will turn out well.

I'm looking forward to it, Backlash is always one of the best Single Brand ppv's because of it being the first after WM. I think the mainevent will be great and im thinking Cena will loose but not be pinned. Either HHH will pin Edge(Most Likely)or Edge pins HHH. Also im curious about how they will work this God angle, Im pretty sure there will be pyro's and special effects.

[LionDen]

ok .. this God thing has to go, it is just pathetic. Vince looked so stupid talking, dancing and even yelling at a spotlight, thank goodness someone back stage turned on Michaels music before he could continue.
