Backlash: In Your House was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF) promotion and presented by Castrol GTX, which took place on April 25, 1999 at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island. It was the 28th and final event to be promoted under the In Your House banner, as shortly thereafter the IWF decided to give their monthly pay-per-views permanent names; Backlash became the name for the post-WrestleMania pay-per-view beginning in 2000 and retained that name until 2009.
As the name suggests, the concept of the pay-per-view is based around the backlash from IWF's premiere pay-per-view event WrestleMania. As such, the main event was a rematch from WrestleMania, featuring Steve Johnson wrestling The Rock for the IWF Championship – this time with a no disqualification stipulation and a special guest referee. Lower down on the card, Marc Beltran and Mankind had a Boiler Room Brawl to settle matters after their previous encounter, which decided who would referee the WrestleMania event. Triple K also wrestled X-Pac due to Triple K causing X-Pac to lose a match for the European Championship the previous month.

Sunday Night Heat
Before the pay-per-view event went to air, the crowd was warmed up with the cable television program Sunday Night Heat which consisted of four matches. In an intergender tag team contest also featuring Val Venis and D'Lo Brown, Nicole Bass pinned Ivory. Afterward Bass made sexual advances to Venis who quickly departed. Another tag team match followed, where Droz and Prince Albert defeated Too Much (Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor) when Albert pinned Scott Taylor. After this Kane pinned The Big Boss Man in a singles match. The final match of the evening saw Viscera pin Test after Big Boss Man hit Test with a nightstick, pretending to be aiming for Viscera.
