In the weeks leading to WrestleMania 23, WWE fans witnessed the collapse of two of the most exciting tag teams on the Raw roster, Rated-RKO and former World Tag Team Champions Shawn Michaels & John Cena.
As Edge & Randy Orton both prepared to compete in the WrestleMania Money in the Bank Ladder Match, the tension between the two Superstars became overwhelming. The conflicts between HBK & John Cena were just as intense and culminated with Michaels delivering Sweet Chin Music to his tag team partner during the last Raw before WrestleMania. Just 24 hours after the biggest night in sports-entertainment, HBK eliminated Cena in a Tag Team Battle Royal that cost the Superstars their World Tag Team Championship.
At Backlash, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Edge and Randy Orton will all step into the same ring for a heated Four Way Match, but only one will emerge victorious as WWE Champion.

The fallout of WrestleMania 23's Battle of the Billionaires Match will culminate at Backlash as ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley clashes against three opponents – Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon and the savage Umaga – in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the ECW World Title. Not only will three formidable obstacles oppose Lashley on April 29, but one of those three men could emerge from Backlash with ECW's top prize.
When Donald Trump named Lashley his Battle of the Billionaires representative, the WWE Chairman made it his personal quest to eliminate the ECW World Champion to ensure he'd retain his mane. After Lashley defeated the Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania – while enduring the menace of both McMahons and a Rattlesnake referee – the bald Mr. McMahon's war against Lashley was taken to a new level. Following his victory at Ford Field in Detroit, the ECW World Champion challenged the Chairman to bring it on, saying that nothing would stop him.
Lashley has proven time and time again that he is relentless and near unstoppable. But can even the fighting champion of ECW endure the maniacal WWE Chairman's wrath? Will Lashley regret having a hand (literally) in the shaving of Mr. McMahon's head and the worldwide embarrassment of the WWE Chairman?

At Backlash, newly-crowned World Tag Team Champions The Hardys will make their first pay-per-view title defense against Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch.
The night after WrestleMania 23, both teams competed in a 10-Team Battle Royal for the World Tag Team Championship, which was then held by John Cena & Shawn Michaels. When HBK eliminated his own partner, WWE fans were guaranteed to see new champions. It came down to The Hardys and Cade & Murdoch as the final two teams, and Matt & Jeff walked away with the victory and the gold.
The following week, Cade & Murdoch took on Ric Flair & Carlito on Raw, with the winners earning the right to face The Hardys at Backlash. This time, Cade & Murdoch were able to come out on top, nailing Carlito with a chop block/clothesline combo to get the pin and the title opportunity.
Cade & Murdoch are former champions themselves, and will look to avenge their second-place finish in the Battle Royal. Can they walk out of Backlash as two-time champions, or will The Hardys retain to continue their sixth reign with the gold?

At Backlash, Mickie James will get a chance to become a three-time Women’s Champion when she challenges Melina for the gold.
Over the last few weeks, Mickie has seemingly had the A-list champion in her sights, and the rivalry has gotten quite personal. After attacking the champion during a special paparazzi photo op the night after WrestleMania 23, Mickie struck again two weeks later in Milan. Melina attacked Torrie Wilson after Torrie was declared the winner of a Divas fashion show, leading Mickie to go after the Women’s Champion. Later that night, it was announced that the two Divas would tangle again at Backlash.
The challenger is hungry to regain the gold, but the champion is just as determined to keep it around her waist. Who will walk out of Backlash as WWE’s golden Diva?

On the April 13 episode of SmackDown, General Manager Theodore Long announced a blockbuster for Backlash. Undertaker will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a brutal Last Man Standing Match.
The rivalry between the SmackDown monsters has grown in intensity in recent months, and reached a boiling point at WrestleMania when The Deadman captured The Animal's gold and extended his undefeated streak to 15-0.
Batista has always made it clear that the World Heavyweight Championship is what drives him to excel in WWE, and at Backlash, he will do whatever it takes to reclaim his title. Undertaker, in his first reign as World Heavyweight Champion has made it clear that he has no intentions of surrendering his title any time soon. At Backlash, something will give when two of the most dominant competitors in sports-entertainment collide in a match so brutal that only one man will walk away.
