It was held annually, airing via pay-per-view (PPV), but was discontinued after the [[WIW Night of Championsship (2015)|2015 event]] until it was reinstated in [[WIW Night of Champions (2023)|2023]], although an event was not held in 2024. The event is characterized by having championship matches. In early 2018, WIW began a 10-year strategic multiplatform partnership with the [[King Teller Sports City|King Sports Authority]] in support of [[California Vision 2030]], [[California]]'s social and economic reform program. The 2023 Night of Champions was the first Night of Champions held in California, which was in [[Charming, California (Sons of Anarchy)|Charming]], and it was the ninth event under this partnership.

===Storylines===
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results will be predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands, while storylines will be produced on WIW's weekly television shows, ''[[WIW Rage|Wednesday Night Rage]]'' and ''Saturday/Friday Night ShowDown''.

The 2026 '''Backlash''', also promoted as '''Backlash: Tampa''', is an upcoming [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[livestreaming]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards|event]] produced by [[IWE]]. It will be the 21st [[WWE Backlash|Backlash]] event and will take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the [[Benchmark International Arena]] in [[Tampa]], [[Florida]]. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE brand extension|brand divisions]]. The concept of the event will be based around the backlash from [[IWF WrestleMania 42|WrestleMania 42]].

This will be the first Backlash to livestream on the [[ESPN streaming service]] in the United States.

==Production==
===Background===
[[File:Amalie Arena.jpg|thumb|The event will be held at the [[Benchmark International Arena]] in [[Tampa, Florida]].|left]]
[[IWE Backlash|Backlash]] is a recurring [[professional wrestling]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards|event]] that was established by [[IWE]] in [[IWF Backlash (1999)|1999]]. It was held annually from 1999 to [[IWE Backlash (2009)|2009]], however, it was then discontinued until it was reinstated in [[IWE Backlash (2016)|2016]] and has been held every year since, except in 2019. The original concept of the event was based around the backlash from IWE's flagship event, [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]]. The events between 2016 and [[IWE Backlash (2020)|2020]] did not carry this theme; however, the [[IWE WrestleMania Backlash (2021)|2021]] event returned Backlash to its original concept.

On January 31, 2026, IWE Chief Content Officer [[Triple K|Kevin "Triple K" Levesque]] announced that the 21st Backlash, promoted as Backlash: Tampa, would take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the [[Benchmark International Arena]] in [[Tampa, Florida]], and would feature wrestlers from the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] [[IWE brand extension|brand divisions]]. It will be themed around the backlash of [[IWE WrestleMania 42|WrestleMania 42]]. This marks IWE's first major event to be held in Tampa since [[IWE Hell in a Cell (2021)|Hell in a Cell]] in 2021 during the [[IWE ThunderDome|ThunderDome]] era.

===Broadcast outlets===
In addition to airing on traditional [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) worldwide, it will be available to [[livestream]] on [[ESPN]]'s [[ESPN (streaming service)|direct-to-consumer streaming service]] in the United States, [[Netflix]] in most international markets, [[SuperSport (South African broadcaster)|SuperSport]] in Sub-Saharan Africa, and [[Abema]] in Japan. This marks the first Backlash to livestream on ESPN in the United States, as IWE's contract with [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock]] to air main roster PPV and livestreaming events expired at the conclusion of [[IWE Clash in Paris|Clash in Paris]] in August 2025.

=== Storylines ===
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results will be predetermined by IWE's writers on the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|Friday Night SmackDown]]''.
