The 2001 Backlash was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the third annual Backlash and took place on April 29, 2001, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. The concept of the event was based around the backlash from WrestleMania X-Seven. This was the last Backlash held before the introduction of the brand extension in March 2002. Seven professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card. The main event was a "winner take all" tag team match in which the WWF Champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin teamed with his Power Trip ally, Intercontinental Champion Triple H, to take on the WWF Tag Team Champions, The Brothers of Destruction (The Undertaker and Kane). The stipulations were that if Austin and Triple H won, they would become the new tag team champions. If The Undertaker and Kane won, the WWF and Intercontinental Championships would be awarded to them based on who scored the winning fall. The Power Trip won the match after Triple H hit Kane with a sledgehammer, thus gaining the tag team championship and retaining their own respective titles. Featured matches on the undercard included a Last Man Standing match between Shane McMahon and The Big Show, which McMahon won, and an Ultimate Submission match featuring Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle, which Benoit won.
