Top 7 moments from Backlash history

#5 Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock main event the first Backlash

This was a great match to close out the very first Backlash

The first edition of Backlash aired back in 1999 as ‘Backlash: In Your House’ and featured a main event between Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in a No Disqualification Special Guest Referee Match with Shane McMahon taking up the role of Special Guest Referee.

The two put on an absolute clinic with Austin triumphing against the odds and his victory forcing a seething Vince McMahon to acknowledge him as the WWF Champion. This was also the event where two versions of the WWF Championship – the original design as well as the Smoking Skull belt design – were present and were both handed over to Austin.
