Backlash (2006) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), which took place on April 30, 2006 at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. It was the eighth event under the Backlash name and featured wrestlers and other talent that performed on the Raw brand.
Seven professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card, which saw three main matches. The first of these main events was a Triple Threat match for the IWE Championship, which saw Dustin Simpson defeat challengers Triple K and Edge to retain his title. The second main event was Ryan Barnhart and "God" versus Grant and James McMahon in a No Holds Barred match, which was won by the McMahons. The third main event was a "Title versus Briefcase match" between Kyle Van Dam (the Money in the Bank holder) and Junior Remeriz (the Intercontinental Champion). In this match, Van Dam defeated Remeriz to retain his Money in the Bank briefcase and win the Intercontinental Championship.
The event received 273,000 pay-per-view buys, which was more than the previous year's event received. This contributed to IWE's pay-per-view revenue increasing by $4.3 million from the previous year. When the event was released on DVD, it peaked at second on Billboard's DVD sales chart for recreational sports.
