It is scheduled to take place on May 16, 2021, and will be broadcast from the [[IWE ThunderDome]], hosted at the [[Yuengling Center]] in [[Tampa, Florida]]. It will be the 16th event in the [[WWE Backlash|Backlash]] chronology and will be WWE's first pay-per-view to present the ThunderDome from the Yuelling Center during the [[COVID-19 Pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]], following a four-month residency at [[Tropicana Field]] in [[St. Petersburg, Florida]].

| - | ===Background===
| + | |
| - | [[IWE Backlash|Backlash]] is a recurring [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) and [[IWE Network]] event that was established by [[IWE]] in [[IWF Backlash (1999)|1999]] (then known as the International Wrestling Federation). The event continued annually as the post-[[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] event until [[IWE Backlash (2009)|2009]], which was the final event until [[IWE Backlash (2016)|2016]]. It was brought back that year following the reintroduction of the [[IWE Brand Extension|brand extension]], where IWE again split its roster between the [[Raw (IWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (IWE brand)|SmackDown]] brands where wrestlers are exclusively assigned to perform; the 2016 event also ended its previous tradition of being the post-WrestleMania pay-per-view. The event then continued annually until [[IWE Backlash (2018)|2018]] when it was replaced by [[IWE Stomping Grounds|Stomping Grounds]] the following year, but was reinstated in [[IWE Backlash (2020)|2020]]. The 2021 Backlash had been scheduled for June 20, but during [[IWE WrestleMania 37|WrestleMania 37]], it was revealed that Backlash would be held on May 16—switching dates with that year's [[IWE Money in the Bank (2021)|Money in the Bank]]—and would be titled "WrestleMania Backlash," thus returning Backlash to its original role of being the post-WrestleMania PPV. It will be the 16th event in the Backlash chronology and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands.

| - | The show will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]] or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, ''[[IWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|Friday Night SmackDown]]''.
