WWE Backlash is World Wrestling Entertainment's annual followup to Wrestlemania,  this year coming from Providence, Rhode Island.  Keep checking back with us as we will be posting updates throughout the show.

Christian defeated Jack Swagger to win the ECW Title.

Captain Charisma and the All American American both untied turnbuckle pads. The ref caught Swagger. As the ref tried to fix that turnbuckle, Christian smashed Swagger into the other exposed turnbuckle, nailed the Killswitch finisher, and scored the pin.

They had a moment backstage with Edge and Christian which was pretty cool.

Chris Jericho defeated Ricky Steamboat with The Walls of Jericho.

A good-to-excellent match. Steamboat worked very hard.

Kane pinned CM Punk.

If Punk cashes in Money In The Bank tonight, this is a smart move. If he doesn't, could someone please explain it to me?

Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy in an I Quit  Match. 
Jeff tied Matt's wrists together and then tied him to a table with rope. Jeff pulled a ladder from underneath the ring and set it up inside the ring, took his shirt off and threw it to the crowd. Matt pleaded with Jeff. "I'm sorry I killed your dog," Matt said as Jeff climbed the ladder.  The referee put the mic in front of Matt's mouth. "I'm sorry about everything," Matt screamed. "Jeff, our mother wouldn't want this. She's in heaven looking down on us and she wouldn't want this. Our dad is at home sick and he wouldn't want this."  Matt continued to plead with Jeff, who was still standing at the top of the ladder. Matt finally yelled that he quit. The audience booed.  But then Jeff jumped off the ladder and legdropped Matt through the table and the crowd went nuts.

The Great Khali and Runjin Singh Kiss Cam Segment.

This was long and embarrassing. Santino/Santino was just horrible. They tried to get Jim Ross involved, obviously another Vince McMahon practical joke on Ross. Runjin said Santina doesn't have to kiss Khali as long as he proves his love by kissing Ross.  JR said, "That ain't gonna happen, I assure you." Cole referred to Ross as "Mr. Bar-B-Q Man." Ross shot back, "Mr. Bar-B-Q Man? I wonder who fed you that line."
At this point, Beth Phoenix came out with Rosa Mendes and said she wanted a match with Santina. She said Santina isn't the real Miss WrestleMania. Beth tore into Khali by saying that the women in Punjab are either all ugly or Khali is the biggest idiot alive today. Khali chopped Beth horribly over the head while smiling. She wobbled around the ring and then Khali pushed her down. Santina called for the bell. The referee agreed. Santina covered Beth and pinned her.  Santina celebrated. Khali backed her into a corner and removed her bra. Santina covered her chest and ran screamed while running backstage.

Randy Orton became the new WWE Champion by virtue of his pinfall victory over HHH in the six-man tag team match as Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase defeated HHH, Batista, and Shane McMahon.

Orton went for the RKO, but HHH blocked it. HHH went for the Pedigree, but he spotted Batista about to use a chair, and stopped him to avoid the disqualification, which would have cost HHH the title. Orton hit the RKO on HHH for a really dramatic near fall. The timekeeper accidentally rang the bell. Orton nailed the kick to the head for the pin and the title.

Edge defeated John Cena in a Last Man Standing match to win the World Heavyweight Title with the help of The Big Show.

A great brawl through the crowd, including an Attitude Adjustment into a group of what much have been plants (inside of real paying fans) by Cena. Very ECW-style fight, only with more precautions one would hope. Big Show came out at the end and Cena took a bump into what was announced as a huge light and there were explosions. It was a well done stunt. Fantastic match.
