Ranking Every WWE Backlash Main Event Ever - From Worst To Best
5. 2009 – John Cena Vs. Edge
John Cena vs. Edge is one of the all-time classic WWE feuds.
So when they met at Backlash 2009 in Last Man Standing action, you just knew
we’d be in for a treat.
What started out as a typically stellar match between the two old foes would soon degenerate into a more extreme affair, which the steel steps playing a prominent role—as Edge would discover when they were hurled at his head as he stood by idly at ringside.
There was also a very cool Attitude Adjustment that sent Edge flying into the crowd, before the mayhem spread even further afield, making its way behind the curtain and eventually ending up on the stage.
Further hardcore moments would follow as Edge nailed Cena
with a DDT onto the steel, before pulling out a wicked one-man con-chair-to. And
there was still time for a late twist in the tale, as the Big Show emerged to
chokeslam Cena through a gigantic spotlight amidst a shower of sparks and a pretty spectacular explosion.
It may have been a little screwy, but the spectacle of it all atoned for the interference, in a match that would likely have ranked much higher were it not for some very stiff competition.
