Backlash 2002 was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) promotion, which took place on April 21, 2002 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. The event starred talent from the Raw and SmackDown! brands. It was the fourth event under the Backlash chronology, the third consecutive Backlash presented by Castrol GTX and the final U.S.-produced pay-per-view to use the WWF name. This was the first WWF pay-per-view event after the Brand Extension. The last time a WWF Pay Per View was held in Kemper Arena was WWF Over The Edge 1999, in which Owen Hart, competing as the Blue Blazer, fell 78 feet to his death from a harness during his ring entrance. Nine professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card
