The match awesome saw one of Cena’s first display of strength, delivering an FU to both Triple H and Edge at the same time.ĩ. As expected, Triple H left the match a bloody mess, taking the pinfall loss after John Cena reversed a Pedigree. Cena retained the championship against Triple H at WrestleMania 22 so this time Edge was brought in to shake things up. Moving forward to Backlash and the main event was, defending champion, John Cena vs Triple H and Edge for the WWE Championship. The first PPV after WrestleMania 22, which was the host of the classic Edge vs Mick Foley Hardcore match, and Rey Mysterio winning the World Heavyweight Championship, a victory that was rumoured to go to the late Eddie Guerrero. John Cena vs Triple H vs Edge (WWE Championship) – Backlash 2006
Here are the top 10 Backlash matches of all time. While many of the matches in the past have been WrestleMania rematches, there have been plenty of fantastic matches that are worth checking out. This is where feuds that spill out after WrestleMania come to a head. Incredible.Traditionally, Backlash is host to the aftermath of WrestleMania, taking place as the next WWE PPV after the “Showcase Of The Immortals”. Unreal finish to a highly entertaining match. But Lita did after hitting Mick in the knee with the bat and then Edge came in with a spear through the rope, into Foley and onto the table to get the win. Mick then grabbed the lighter fluid and covered that same table on it but I never actually thought anyone would light the thing. Socko covered in wire to both Edge and Lita and there’s just blood everywhere.

The thumbtacks were out next but Foley reversed things and dropped Edge onto them, and it was easy to see that really got under Edge’s skin - see what I did there - and followed it up with Mr. However, Lita was in again and Edge took advantage by hitting a DDT and smearing Foley’s face with the barbed wire. That one looked really good … or bad if you’re Mick Foley.Įdge had set up a table by this point and doused Foley in some lighter fluid before taking a few shots and nearly being hit with the conchairto. After some more violence on the outside, including Mick’s knee bump over the steps, Edge was back in control and slammed Foley’s head into the ramp in a brutal spot. Lita jumped on Foley’s back and Mick hit the clothesline that sent everyone over the top in a spot I’d almost forgotten about until recently. Edge’s arm is already bleeding at this point and Foley went after him with the barbed wire bat after tying him up in the ropes. You knew this match was hardcore rules, right? Edge hit a spear pretty quick but came up lame afterwards and Foley revealed he was wearing barbed wire underneath his first shirt, much like Bret Hart wearing the metal plate to counter Goldberg in WCW. The intensity was right there from the start as Edge attacked Foley with a bat and wraps some cookie sheets around Foley’s head, hitting a dropkick with a “Caution” sign as well. The women’s championship match between Trish Stratus and Mickie James was good as well but this one has to go to Mick Foley and Edge. Money in the Bank wasn’t as good as the year before and the triple threat match with Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio and Kurt Angle just couldn’t quite get over the top either. Shawn Michaels was better than it should have been, it wasn’t enough to steal the show but it is a little strange not to have Michaels in this spot as he has been and will be a few more times as we move forward here. Triple H here, as I thought they had a very nice match, but it was just missing that little something. Looking back on WrestleMania 22, I really wanted to go with John Cena vs. Photo credit: WWE.com WrestleMania 22 Edge vs.
