#3 WWE Backlash (2016 onwards)
Another pay-per-view that returned in 2020, Backlash was WWE's post-WrestleMania staple for so many years. It happened every April from 1999 to 2009, before being replaced by Extreme Rules. However, as the brand split returned in 2016, so did Backlash - initially as a SmackDown-exclusive event.
The Blue brand provided Backlash with some blockbuster moments, with both brand-exclusive editions yielding a new WWE Champion. In September 2016, AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose to win the WWE title, and in May 2017, Jinder Mahal shocked the world by pinning Randy Orton to become the Champion.
WWE booked Backlash 2018 to happen barely a week after their first Saudi Arabia show, resulting in a cluster of a card that featured some very dull action and unflattering storytelling. After giving 2019 a miss and WWE replacing it with Stomping Grounds, Backlash made a comeback last year.
It featured the 'Greatest Wrestling Match Ever' between Randy Orton and Edge, both of whom truly put a shift in. The Viper won their 45-minute barnburner. Prior to the long headliner was a largely average show, with Drew McIntyre's victory over Bobby Lashley being the standout match.
