Stone Cold has a history filled with neck injuries, . This neck injury forced him out of the WWF Championship triple threat match with The Rock and Triple H in the 1999 Survivor Series. To cover up the injury, he was shown chasing Triple H backstage and getting accidentally hit by a car during the PPV, and so he was written off from the match and the WWF scene for an indefinite time.

After nursing the injury and choosing not to give up, he returned during the 2000 Backlash main event match for the WWF Championship between The Rock and Triple H, where Vince McMahon was trying to screw The Rock. It looked like Triple H will win the match, but then the music of shattering glass was heard, and the audience got on their feet when they saw a returning Stone Cold who had a chair in his hand to beat the hell out of Vince and his stooges.
