WrestleMania yet again has sadly come and gone. But the reprocussions of what made history this year, just like years past, will culminate into a BACKLASH. Those who have fallen at WrestleMania may have the Backlash tip into their favor or once again have it backfire. April 26th, 2009. WWE roars into Providence, Rhode Island at the Dunkin Donuts Center once more for this year's annual WWE BACKLASH! I know people mainly care about the "Major four" events of the year, but consider the unpredictability of this event, WWE Universe. After the Celebration comes the Backlash! And this event never disappoints. Rematches for titles, grudge rematches, or something that could've culminated between any wrestler at WrestleMania to form into a new rivalry! For all who will compete this year at this event, will the Backlash once again tip into their favor, backfire, or finally grant them retribution? This is the theme of Backlash and that's why I love this event!
1999, this event began and up to last year, it is a very historical event. One that in my mind should've been started since WrestleMania began. It's a very history making night thought not as close as what WrestleMania can dish out. Yet what has happened at the Grandest Stage can culminate into retribution for the fallen, or a major backfire for the fallen. The Celebration may be over, but for every Celebration, which in this case: WrestleMania, there is a BACKLASH. April 26th, Providence, RI we are gonna witness the 11th annual culmination into retribution of the fallen! IS THE WWE UNIVERSE READY?!
We already have two matches booked, WWE Universe! Six man tag: WWE Champion Triple H, Shane McMahon, and the newly returned ANIMAL BATISTA! will face Randy Orton and Legacy at Backlash! However.. modified by the new permanent GM of Raw, Vickie Guerrero, the WWE Title will be on the line... That witch. She shouldn't be allowed to but in and try to make things tip for someone outside of her family! So let me get this straight. If anyone on Triple H's team wins, he retains, if someone from Orton's team wins, He wins the title! WTF! COME ON!!! Though in again with Batista taking Vince's place, the look on Randy's face told the story. Plus, the interference that was then taken care of by the newly returned Animal during Vince's and Orton's match tonight. So now Batista is in the equation and Randy isn't very happy.. Hehe... It's gonna be big. Triple H's team will definitely win no problem.
Next will be Edge vs. Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship! In a Last Man Standing match! What a major Backlash for Cena to have to fight through. Neither man will have to hold back. What a way to enact a Rematch clause. Though Cena throughout his career has endured lots of hurdles that he's come across. Last Man Standing, Elimination Chamber, Steel Cage, you name it! He's been through alot in almost seven years so I'm sure he'll come out of Providence still the World Champion. Edge has had an experience with facing Cena before back in 2006, which culminated into Edge losing the WWE title in his own home town of Ontario, Canada at Unforgiven. IN HIS OWN MATCH. So with this Last Man Standing match, it'll be a repeat of almost three years ago. Edge won't be standing for the 10 count.
With these two matches already booked the night after WrestleMania, Backlash is shaping up to be another historical event this year. I'm very much looking forward to it, and I'm sure the rest of the WWE Universe will be too! SET YOUR WATCHES MARK THE CALENDARS! APRIL 26th WILL MARK ANOTHER BACKLASH! ARE YOU READY?!
