The second the 2009 Backlash theme song track stops playing, thousands of explosives set off. The fans do their best to scream over the bursting gun powder and raise their signs high in the air as the camera zooms around them. Colorful sparks fly around the stage as the firework display dies down, however the noise does not. The fans still scream as loud as they can, cheering either for the show, the moment or their favorite superstar. We see signs hoping for Magnum to become the new champion. Signs for Shane Whelan to defeat Sydal and even a few signs in support of the world heavy weight champion himself. Fans are bursting with energy as the PPV gets started with the womans championship match.

In a very short time I will be battling with a man, who when I first started was miles ahead of me. I was struggling to climb the ladder of success, while he sat comfortably at the top. For a while I didn't think I would ever reach that last reign, and sit where Raven sat. But tonight, in front of all of you people I have made it to the top. But now that I am here, I realize the room of success simply isn't big enough for two guys. After two years of climbing, I am not about to give up my spot. One man, be it Raven, or be it me, one man must go back down that ladder. Something HAS to give tonight. I'm living proof that if you dream it long enough, you will live it.
