We get a video package replaying the highlights of Wrestlemania 25-Cena winning the World Title, Orton defeating HHH and Undertaker defeating HBK.
Opening pyro as JR welcomes us to the show, and alongside him for tonight is Jerry "The King" Lawler. Tonight we get NEW World Heavyweight Champion John Cena & HHH v Edge & WWE Champion Randy Orton.
Jeff Hardy's music hits. He comes down to the ring, limping slightly, as we get stills of the no contest at Wrestlemania as both men knocked each other out. Hardy gets on the mic and said he got revenge at Wrestlemania. He beat up his brother so bad that neither could get up, he did it his way, and is happy he got that out of his system and move on...
...Matt's music hits. He comes out and looks incredulously at Jeff. He asks on what basis did Jeff win anything at Mania?. He was never pinned or gave up, he was never beaten, and he never quit. He tells Jeff that he can be that coward he was at Mania, and take a cheap shot, and try and move on, or he can put Matt out of his life forever. He challenges Jeff to an "I Quit" Match at Backlash, telling Jeff that he wants to get his hands on Jeff for one more time, but if he loses, he will leave Jeff alone. Jeff ponders this, and listens to the crowd who chant "Go on Jeff", before Jeff screams down the mic "YOU'RE ON!!!!", to a huge ovation. Matt smirks at the top of the ramp as Jeff glares at him from the ring.

Draft Promo-"Anything is Possible", next monday LIVE on a 3-hr RAW Special, including John Cena defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Edge, next week LIVE on Monday Night RAW.
Back live we have MVP coming down to the ring. Followed by Evan Bourne & R-Truth. Then Shelton's music hits, and he's followed out by Chavo Guerrero & then Vladimir Kozlov. Match 1: 6-Man Tag-US Champion MVP & Evan Bourne & R-Truth v Shelton Benjamin & Chavo Guerrero & Vladimir Kozlov.
JR reminds us Evan Bourne is here through the ECW Talent Exchange program. After a long match with every man getting in some decent offense, Kozlov had ended up dominating R-Truth. However Kozlov irish whipped him onto the ropes, but R-Truth hit his spinning elbow to knock Kozlov down. R-Truth crawled to the ropes as Kozlov tagged in Shelton. R-Truth tagged in MVP, MVP hit some quick clotheslines, knocked Chavo off the ring, pummelled Shelton with punches and kicks, and hit a Swinging neckbreaker. He covered but Kozlov broke up the pin, and started attacking MVP, but Evan Bourne hit a missile dropkick off the top rope to kick Kozlov out the way, Shelton went for his T-Bone suplex, but MVP got out of it, kicked Shelton in the gut, hit his Playmaker, and covered for the pin. Winners-MVP, Evan Bourne & R-Truth.
JR wonders if any of these men will be drafted come monday. Lawler says he wouldn't mind if they came to RAW, but JR reminds Jerry that he could be drafted to Smackdown.

WWE Superstars-Debuts next thursday on WGN.
Backstage Teddy Long is talking on the phone. Edge comes in. He says that he knows Long is replacing Vickie as interim GM of Smackdown after what happened at Wrestlemania, but that he's making a mistake. Edge got hurt at Mania, he's banged up and he needs to rest for his World Title match on RAW next week, not team with a psychopath in Randy Orton. Long buts in, he says if Edge is ok to compete on monday, he's ok to compete tonight, and besides, maybe Edge can learn from Orton how to win a title match at Wrestlemania. Long walks off with Edge spitting mad.
Eve is in the ring as Divas Champion Maryse comes to the ring. Match 2: Diva's Champion Maryse v Eve Torres.
Short match with Eve getting in limited offense, this match really to put Maryse over as dominant ahead of the draft. Maryse picked up the win with a French TKO. Winner-Maryse.
Highlights of major draft moments-HHH being drafted to Smackdown, John Cena being drafted to RAW and Batista to Smackdown.

We're back with Kung Fu Naki in the ring as Umaga's music hits. Match 3: Umaga v Kung Fu Naki.
Total squash. Umaga smashed Funaki into the corner, superkicked him and hit 2 Samoan Spikes before pinning him. Winner-Umaga.
We get a Backlash promo-"Revenge in more ways than one."
Undertaker's music hits. The druids bring out a casket. A lightning bolt hits the casket and it bursts into flames. Then a light shines in the ring, and HBK is standing there, dressed in all white. He says that is symbolic of the fact that no matter how hard death and darkness try, they will never succeed. They may triumph on Earth, but goodness lasts forever beyond that, in Heaven. He tells us that Jesus rose from the dead, to prove that the darkness can never win, it can only triumph for a short time. He says that Undertaker won at Wrestlemania, but that that triumph will not last, as come Backlash, HBK will return the light to its glory and bury the darkness, like a casket, deep underground. Suddenly in the glare of the shining light you can see Undertaker behind HBK, who turns around, and Taker grasps him by the throat, but HBk squirms and kicks and gets away again, and runs up the ramp, before hitting DX Crotch chops towards Taker, and doing his arms raised to Heaven pose with the lights coming on and his pyro going off, but Taker does his kneeling pose, HBK's pyro stops, and the lights go out again, just blue light shining on Taker, before HBK tries to raise the lights again, and we get a scenario of half the arena where HBK is in light, and the other half where Taker is in darkness. They stare down as we go to commercial.

We come back from commercial as Edge's music hits, he comes out to his full pyro. Then Orton's hits, but he doesn't come out, they try again, but still he doesn't, and we cut backstage and HHH is chasing Orton around the back again with a Sledgehammer like on RAW. HHH gets lead into a dark room, the door closes, and we just yells and thuds and as the light is finally switched on, Randy Orton and Legacy are standing over a broken and battered HHH, we see Steph somewhere backstage sobbing her eyes out.
Meanwhile Edge looks on bemused, then with a grin on his face. But unbeknowngst to him Cena has appeared in the ring behind him. Finally Edge sees this on the big screen, he turns round, FU!. Edge rolls out the ring as Cena poses with the World Heavyweight Championship as Smackdown goes off the air. |
