Next WWE PLE is just a few weeks away

WWE Backlash 2025 brought an action-packed night filled with high-stakes championship clashes, personal rivalries reaching new heights, and surprising developments that left the WWE Universe buzzing.

As the first major event following WWE WrestleMania 41, Backlash delivered on its promise to push stories forward and spotlight the evolving landscape across all brands.

The United States Championship was defended in a wild Fatal 4-Way featuring Jacob Fatu, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and LA Knight. Outside interference and unexpected appearances added layers of chaos, turning the match into one of the night’s most talked-about contests.
