5 WWE Backlash matches that improved on their WrestleMania counterpart

#1 The Undertaker vs Batista - World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing match (WWE Backlash 2007)

The Undertaker and Batista battled to a draw in an epic World Heavyweight Championship Last Man Standing match at Backlash 2007

WWE WrestleMania 23 saw The Undertaker defeat Batista to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career and extend his legendary WrestleMania undefeated streak.

The match was critically acclaimed by fans, suggesting it was one of the best matches on the WrestleMania 23 card.

The two SmackDown WWE Superstars met several weeks later at Backlash in a WrestleMania 23 rematch. However, unlike their WrestleMania showdown, the match was a Last Man Standing match.

The match between the two SmackDown superstars saw The Undertaker hit a huge leg drop through the announce table at ringside onto Batista. This led to the two opponents brawling all over the arena and up the entrance ramp onto the Backlash stage.

Batista then dramatically speared The Undertaker off the stage onto the electrical equipment below. Both WWE Superstars were unable to get to their feet before the count of ten, resulting in the match being declared as a draw.

As a championship can not change hands via a draw, The Undertaker retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a spectacular Last Man Standing match that improved on their incredible WrestleMania title match the prior month.
