Eddie Guerrero had been gone from WWE since November, and when he came back on the April 1 edition of Raw, he suddenly attacked Rob Van Dam. The following week on Raw, Van Dam fought Undertaker to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Guerrero interfered again, hitting Van Dam with Intercontinental Championship, costing him the match. The two met up at Backlash to settle the score. Guerrero won the battle of the frog splashes, hitting his version to win his second Intercontinental Championship.
