WWE Backlash 2025 will see four title clashes!

WWE Backlash 2025 is shaping up to be a blockbuster Premium Live Event as it celebrates its 20th edition on Saturday, May 10, live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The show begins at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, streaming exclusively on Peacock for U.S. viewers and on Netflix internationally.

The marquee match of the night will see John Cena defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton in Orton’s hometown. The match was made official on the April 25 episode of SmackDown, where Orton interrupted Cena and issued the challenge face-to-face, promising to dethrone The Franchise in front of a raucous St. Louis crowd.

In the women’s division, tensions boiled over on Raw when Lyra Valkyria called out Becky Lynch after being publicly disrespected. Following a heated exchange and a brief brawl that ended with Lynch standing tall, the match was made official: Lynch vs. Valkyria for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.

The U.S. Championship will be contested in a high-stakes Fatal Four-Way Match, with Jacob Fatu defending against Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and LA Knight. This comes after GM Nick Aldis amended the original triple-threat bout, acknowledging McIntyre’s prior win to earn a spot in the title match.

Also confirmed is an Intercontinental Championship rematch between Penta and Dominik Mysterio. On the May 5 episode of Raw, Penta gained momentum by defeating JD McDonagh, overcoming outside interference from Finn Bálor, Carlito, and Chad Gable.

Finally, Pat McAfee will step into the ring against Gunther, seeking revenge after the former Intercontinental Champion viciously attacked Michael Cole. Their clash promises to be deeply personal and intensely physical.
