10 Best WWE Non-WrestleMania sets of all time

WrestleMania 25

#1 Backlash 2000

The hook
The hooks would swing back and forth as Superstars made their entrance to the arena.

The Backlash Pay-Per-View was traditionally the first event after WrestleMania, taking place in late April or early May. Often featuring the fallout from WrestleMania, including rematches for championships and grudge matches to further new storylines, Backlash has held a prominent place in WWE’s event lineup.

In addition to its stature in the WWE PPV lineup, Backlash was also home to one of the coolest entrance ways in WWE history. One of the common themes of the promotional material for Backlash featured a swinging hook slicing through the air. Creative minds utilized this imagery to create a gauntlet of giant swinging hooks that lined the entrance ramp and stage for Backlash in 2000, 2001, and 2002.

As a superstar made their way to the ring, these humongous structures would swing back and forth making the matches feel more intense.
