Backlash 2000 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) promotion, which took place on April 30, 2000 at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.. It was the second event under the Backlash chronology. Nine professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card.

The main event was a singles match for the WWF Championship with Shane McMahon as special guest referee, in which The Rock defeated Triple H to win the championship. Featured matches on the undercard included Chris Benoit defeating Chris Jericho by disqualification to retain the WWF Intercontinental Championship and a six-man Hardcore match for the WWF Hardcore Championship, which Crash Holly won to retain the championship.

Background

The event featured nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or fan favorites as they followed a series of events which built tension, culminating in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Event

Before Backlash aired live on pay-per-view, three matches were showcased on Sunday Night Heat. The first match saw D'Lo Brown defeat Al Snow by disqualification. In the next match, Steve Blackman pinned Val Venis. The final match before Backlash 2000 featured The Godfather and Kaientai (Taka Michinoku and Funaki) defeating Steven Richards and The Headbangers (Mosh and Thrasher)
