WWE Backlash 2025: Live streaming, TV channel, start time & where to watch around the globe

Jacob Fatu will defend the US title in a fatal four-way match!

WWE Backlash 2025 is set to deliver an action-packed night of wrestling as it returns for its 20th edition. The event takes place on Saturday, May 10, live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

Fans can tune in starting at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT. With a strong lineup of matches and top WWE Superstars in action, Backlash promises to be a must-watch Premium Live Event. In the U.S., it will stream exclusively on Peacock, while international fans can catch all the action on Netflix.

WWE Championship bout pitting John Cena (c) against Randy Orton was the first match announced. This was confirmed on the April 25, 2025 episode of SmackDown, when Orton confronted Cena and challenged him to meet for the title in Orton’s hometown​.

Becky Lynch, calling Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria a “loser” and taking credit for her success, irked Valkyria, who confronted her and challenged her to a title match at Backlash. Lynch initially walked away, but after a brief brawl that ended with Lynch standing tall, the match was made official.

During the May 02 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, General Manager Nick Aldis initially announced that United States Champion Jacob Fatu would defend the title in a triple-threat match against Damian Priest and LA Knight.

However, after Solo Sikoa tried to remind him that Drew McIntyre won the #1 contenders match and should be the one to challenge Fatu, Aldis made the match a fatal four-way as Fatu will put the title on the line against McIntyre, Knight, and Priest at the PLE.

On the May 05 episode of Monday Night Raw, Penta got back into the win column with an impressive win over JD McDonagh, while fending off interferences from Finn Balor and Carlito as well as from Chad Gable.

Following the win, the promotion shortly announced an Intercontinental Championship match where Dominik Mysterio will battle Penta in a rematch from their recent meeting on Raw after WrestleMania show where Mysterio emerged victorious after an outside interference from JD McDonagh.

After Gunther attacked Michael Cole, Pat McAfee stepped in but was ultimately choked out. Refusing to stay silent, McAfee delivered a passionate promo on Raw, standing up for Cole and demanding justice. Though interim GM Nick Aldis wouldn’t lift Gunther’s suspension early, he approved a sanctioned match between McAfee and Gunther at Backlash on May 10 in St. Louis.
