since WrestleMania. The rematch is done better than the originals themselves right down to the returns of beloved legends to some notable debuts. It's also time to look back at the 10

#10 Brock Lesnar makes his commanding debut The early stages of a WWE megastar career can often seem pretty innocuous compared to the heights at which who then get to escalate look at Triple H when he's the kinetic blue blood who's so goofy or maybe like the rogue you know when he was the wide eyed Rocky Maivia who came out of the closet in Survivor Series or like yeah I'm going to win and the crowd simply thinks this, however, is certainly not the case for Brock.

The young monster Brockie Lesnar made an immediate impression by storming the ring on several occasions and defeating many contestants as Paul Heyman yelled encouragement from the sidelines. . This all culminated in his official debut at Backlash 2002, a singles match against the very, very popular babyface Jeff Hardy Lesnar. kin destroyed Jeff Hardy in just over 5 minutes, rendering his opponent unable to continue and winning the match via referee stoppage. punches over a decade apart, first SummerSlam mm so the son of the boss just plummeted off the side of the tron, the second of course was that iconic WrestleMania moment where Shane went off the top from Hell in a Cell, however, an often overlooked moment came at Backlash 2001 during his Last Man Standing match with Big Show, it was a very sloppy match in all honesty, also interrupted by interference from Vince McMahon and Shane's best friend. the farms forget about everything that happened before Shane escalated the reaction side said he was having a test Big Show picture was on the floor Shane was left with some sort of box shipped and just squashed terribly in the floor below crushing the big show and leaving both men down for the count, luckily out of embarrassment the test was on hand to help his best friend back on his feet.

He used one of those things as a camera crane. a camera jib to hoist the chain back to his feet before the count of ten maybe I didn't imagine being as affiliated as he was at Backlash 2009 this was another Last Man Standing match this one pitted Cena against his nemesis a long term and saw the polarizing face of the company get the better of the superstar on the radar. over the course of most of the 28th minute fight, of course, Cena was going to win John Cena, however, in the closing stages, the pair battled through the crowd until reaching the stage where Big Show decided to interfere and make his move. gigantic presence.

Did you feel if he hit Cena with a chair or some other type of foreign object? Did you help Edge get back on his feet after both men went down? from the stage, a huge explosion of comedy and the referees counted 10 later and Edge was a record-tying five-time world heavyweight champion, cheers Big Show. It really was overkill, but that's a number 7 where Steffany gets in touch with this moment. pay-per-view titled Backlash in your house much includes humanity vs. Big Show in a boiler room brawl midian Acolytes vs. brood and a non-DQ main event match between the rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin with Shane McMahon a special guest referee, naturally, of course, he was always Shane's special guest referee, however, the most memorable moment of the show did not come in the main event or any of the previous marches, but after all the Marches had taken place with Austin celebrating his victory in the ring, suddenly we cut to the backstage area where pre-turned evil Stephanie McMahon was waiting for her father's departure in a limo suddenly, to her horror, the divide between her and the driver and who should be in the front seat but the dead man himself Undertaker turned in his seat, looked at Stephanie and said the line where Stephanie was and then just walked away with the boss's daughter in the back and then obviously he would go try and Mar at that ceremony where Austin came out and saved the day was one of the most ridiculous angles not just in the Attitude Era but in WWE history as a whole it was Bloody King fantastic number six Chris Benoit vs.

Triple H vs. HBK WrestleMania rematch is a backlash they are often the source of discontent among wrestling fans, it's seen as some kind of unimaginative fallacy but sometimes these rematches go as far as their fights originals and this was certainly the case at Backlash 2004 a month before WrestleMania twenty saw one of the best finishes ever. In the Wrestlemania storyline when Benoit beat the odds to defeat Triple H and Shawn Michaels and win the World Heavyweight Championship in the process, now it's obviously not natural for Benoit to be a mass support figure given the events that have happened since. back then but the Canadian crowd at the time were understandably hot for their hero in a big way the match featured what now before I've made this point to be honest you have to understand the WWE loved to make references to the Montreal Screwjob, they do it all the time but this was one of the most effective nods to the montreal screwjob hbk slapped the memoir at the sharpshooter and earl hebner came down to act as the replacement ref the crowd lost this badly the heat was raining from all sides, thankfully, Chris Benoit could. to escape and finally, towards the end of the match with Triple H incapacitated on the outside, he was able to retain his title with a much more positive version of the Sharpshooter that put the icing on the cake of a brilliant main event number five AJ Styles wins the big AJ Styles had many amazing moments during his stellar year of 2016 but the

biggest

one might as well have been in his backlash win why it was so important because AJ Styles did what a lot of people thought he would never do and won the WWE Championship, much of it. the stars of his career looked like some sort of WWE until he was a smaller fast paced Indy boy, he was a little spotty early in his career, he seemed completely odd with all that sports entertainment stood for, then he traveled to Japan he built his career much better on the mic and came to take WWE by storm debuting at the 2016 Royal Rumble a few months later and AJ triumphed over Dean Ambrose at Backlash and this victory was validation on several levels. it was a true statement as well of diversity by WWE in an ongoing message that they were trying to change their ways and open the door of what a WWE champion really looks like, I still had a black champion even though I hand it over to you less than i can I guess it's not the rock, but no one ever had a champion dilly dally of African American descent.

You haven't really made it a bit awkward, have you? Listen to count four, Goldberg's debut. Goldberg Gate. The 2001 invasion angle was at a huge disadvantage from the start, as Vince missed out on signing many of WCW's top talent. I'm talking about Hogan Paul Nash who did the yes, Jeff Chara, all those guys a couple of years later and a huge WCW icon made his WWE backlash debut. 2003 saw the dream main event matchup of The Rock and Goldberg, while the result was as telegraphed given Rocks' impending retirement from full-time action to focus on Hollywood, it certainly felt like a big Marcin dream in less unlike the main event of the following years bar clashes of course that Triple Threat between Benoit Triple H and Michaels this was a situation where WWE booking and farms wishes were not reciprocated at all despite being an arrogant heel who left the wrestling business to go off and become a mega-celebrity Rock met incredibly with fans who actually booed Goldberg on the way to his landslide victory in just over ten minutes number three Mick Foley turns Randy Orton into one man Mick Foley has represented the turning point in many a healing career his brutal marches with Triple H and edge helped legitimize those superstars by giving another dimension of toughness to their existing cunning and savage, yet the most infamous situation in which he Mick Foley Turned A Man From Someone possibly occurred against Randy Orton in an all-out bloodbath at Backlash 2004 prior to this.

Randy Orton wasn't really the kind of twisted sadist they were used to these days, he was more of a reviled cute boy sort of thing, he was kind of an evolving sentiment and corner, the arrogant one, the one all the girls liked. but also the one that all the girls didn't like because he did bad things to their bags in the locker but that's beside the point anyway this changed all of that a lot as Ordem was subjected to an absolute gauntlet of punishment from wild wire to tables to thumbtacks Orton was dealt what is potentially the most infamous thumbtack strike in WWE history, as his bare bark was pierced by so many thumbtacks that Orton was eventually able to secure the win with a pair of sworn RKOs over Mick Foley's signature weapon, Bobby, and emerged as a legitimate star.

Ord and he clearly owes the fool a lot even though he probably wasn't as grateful immediately after this match now at number two Hulk Hogan returns and wins the Kin tile again isn't this a bit similar? Goldberg vs. rock Goldberg vs. rock was obviously a massive moment and there's no arguing that it wasn't, they were two of the biggest stars in wrestling history, so this was Hulk Hogan vs. Triple H at Backlash 2002 and Yeah. It was a nice nostalgic moment to see Hulk Hogan back on the mosaic scene at the same time. Did he really need to win the belt?

Seriously, the match itself was a pretty mediocre affair, but God bless Triple H, he did his best, he really did. Hulk Hogan was babyface vs. babyface which threw the dynamic off a bit its not really what people were expecting but its sort of what you expect with a hulk hogan match in the 21st century as if that wasn't enough the momentum of the match was canceled two times because of interference one from Chris Jericho and one from Undertaker and that interference from Undertaker towards the end is the most unnerving part of all this, you see Undertaker running towards Triple H and he attacked him and then Hogan fired him. from here again I want to win this properly and then just turn left and then Hogan dropped a leg on Triple H while he was down from a bomber attack like that was somehow more noble and honorable in fairness that is The Hulk Hogan I've always seen pretending to be the good guy all the time when you really just want to win and be a selfish little jerk and you hope I haven't realized over the century that I've been a bit biting towards Hulk Hogan, so I'd like to say that despite all of this, it was still one of the biggest moments in number one backlash history and you probably knew this 2000 Austin comeback was going to be when you think of iconic backlash moments. violent. really just a top answer Steve Austin's legendary return in 2000 interfering in that main event between Triple H and the rock, the Texas rattlesnake hadn't been seen in a ring since the previous year's Survivor Series when he was infamously run over by a mystery driver that driver of course turned out to be Rikishi he did it for the rock he did it for the people no he didn't he did it for Triple H who was later revealed to be the mastermind behind it all but of Anyway now in the backlash and Austin's return was explosive, he marched to the ring, he got a little, yeah, a little bit of Todd, you know, he'd had some time off, but he marched to the ring with a huge chair pop steel in hand and he took out the McMahons and all their assorted Stooges on Triple H and it was just unreal it was literally one of those moments where you see him and you feel like a kid again it's so exciting it's so right that feels like the right look. in the right kind in many ways, this was the main event of the perfect archetypal art studio, chaotic enough to be representative of the era, but also not overstepping the mark in the process, ultimately giving farms what they wanted - the rock was finally able to regain the championship again curing a lot of the pain that had caused that deflating main event of Wrestlemania 2000 which of course Triple H won two kinds of fun from everyone and the fans had their favorite baby face, but and for that reason and for all the other there are alsoreasons.

I don't think there could be another time that would top this list quite as well, so that's all the time we have for now. Those were the top ten moments in backlash history.
