WWE Backlash 2025 is back for its 20th edition and promises an unforgettable night of wrestling action. The show will go live on Saturday, May 10, from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Fans around the world are excited to witness legendary WWE Superstars collide in this high-stakes Premium Live Event.
John Cena vs Randy Orton: The Main Event
The most anticipated match is between two legends, John Cena and Randy Orton. This match for the Undisputed WWE Championship is extra special because it takes place in Orton’s hometown. The clash was made official on the April 25 episode of SmackDown, where Orton challenged Cena and delivered a brutal RKO. Cena is currently on his farewell tour, making this match even more emotional.
Women’s Intercontinental Title: Lyra Valkyria vs Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch has turned heel and is now going after Lyra Valkyria’s WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. On the April 29 episode of Raw, Lynch insulted Valkyria and claimed credit for her success. After a heated confrontation, their match was confirmed for Backlash.
Fatal Four-Way for the U.S. Title
Jacob Fatu will defend the WWE United States Championship in a fatal four-way match against LA Knight, Damian Priest, and Drew McIntyre. Initially planned as a triple threat, the match was changed after Solo Sikoa reminded GM Nick Aldis of McIntyre’s claim as a top contender.
Intercontinental Title: Dominik Mysterio vs Penta
Dominik Mysterio will once again face Penta for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. This rematch follows Penta’s recent win on Raw and their earlier encounter where Dominik won with outside help. This time, fans expect a fair fight.
Gunther vs Pat McAfee: Settling Scores
After Gunther attacked commentator Michael Cole, Pat McAfee stepped up to defend his friend. On Raw, McAfee delivered an emotional promo demanding a match against Gunther. GM Nick Aldis agreed, and now they are set to face each other at Backlash 2025.
