The 2004 Backlash was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the American promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was the sixth annual Backlash and took place on April 18, 2004, at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which was the only Backlash event held outside the continental United States until the 2023 event. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division, which made it the first brand-exclusive Backlash after the previous two years also featured wrestlers from SmackDown!. The concept of the event was based around the backlash from WrestleMania XX. The main event was a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship involving reigning champion and hometown talent Chris Benoit versus Triple H versus Shawn Michaels, which Benoit won after forcing Michaels to submit to the sharpshooter. One of the predominant matches on the card was Randy Orton versus Mick Foley in a hardcore match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Orton won the match and retained the title after pinning Cactus following an RKO. Another primary match on the undercard was Edge versus Kane, which Edge won by pinfall after executing a spear.
