WrestleMania Rewind: Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H at WrestleMania XX

#3 The aftermath

Chris Benoit was scheduled to defend his title against Shawn Michaels at WWE Backlash, but with Triple H coming back on RAW, he demanded a rematch for the title. Eric Bischoff then booked yet another triple threat match for the World Heavyweight title, with Chris Benoit facing Triple H and Shawn Michaels at the Backlash PPV.

During the main event, Chris Benoit trapped Shawn in Bret’s signature finisher, the Sharpshooter, as the PPV was in Canada and Vince wanted to make peace with Bret. Triple H tried to intervene and stop Shawn from tapping out, but Shawn couldn’t hold on as Benoit retained the title. Benoit would later lose the title to Randy Orton at SummerSlam, putting him over as the next face of the company.
