10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Backlash

10. The Hunter, Edge & Orton Show

Despite not having the best win/loss records at the show (more on that later), Triple H and Edge both lay claim to the most appearances on the show, and share identical records for their efforts.

Alongside matches from both against luminaries such as The Rock, The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels and others, their 5-6 and 4-6 records respectively also includes a contest against one another as losers in a 2006 triple threat WWE Title main event against John Cena.

Edge failed again against Cena the following year, this time in combination with Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton as part of a fatal four-way, but Triple H would thrive in similar conditions the year after that, winning the WWE Title from 'The Legend Killer' in a match also featuring 'The Champ' and JBL. Edge would finally score a Backlash title victory over the leader of the Cenation at his final appearance on the show in 2009.

Coincidentally, Triple H would lose the WWE Title to Randy Orton in a convoluted six man tag on the same night, highlighting the repetitious nature of main events at the time and how barren the organisation was becoming in an ailing quest for new stars.

The Orton lore ends in 2020 in, fittingly, "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever". The Rated-RKO members waged war in the unique pandemic setting that attempted - and occasionally succeeded - to make the best of the unfavourable circumstances.
