The upcoming WWE Backlash 2025 PLE marks the return of John Cena, who will be in action in the main event of the 20th edition, having last wrestled in the pay-per-view in 2009.

So far, four matches have been confirmed for WWE Backlash 2025, with John Cena defending his undisputed championship against local boy Randy Orton, with both wrestlers having quite a history between them. Orton has promised to 'put down' legend John Cena, while the champion has vowed to ruin wrestling for fans, making this contest intriguing. In a WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship match, Lyra Valkyria will go up against Becky Lynch, who betrayed the former after the duo lost their WWE Women's Tag Titles a day after WrestleMania 41. Lynch, who made a shocking return during Mania, stated how Valkyria's friendship with Bayley is the reason the former World Champion hates the current Women's IC Champion.

Having lost to Jey Uso, Gunther took out all his frustration on color commentator Pat McAfee, who tried to defend Michael Cole and ended up getting a beatdown by the former heavyweight champion on WWE RAW. In an impromptu decision, stand-in GM Nick Aldis fixed a match between McAfree and Gunter for Backlash after the commentator's request to unsuspend the former champion was denied. Jacob Fatu became the new United States Champion during WrestleMania 41. However, LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, and Damian Priest have constantly interfered in matches involving Fatu, leading to Aldis announcing a fatal four-way match at WWE Backlash between all participants.

Men's Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio will defend his title against the one and only Penta, who will look to attain his first major title in the promotion.  John Cena Wins 17th World Title: Ric Flair Reacts as ‘Cenation Leader’ Breaks His Record By Winning WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41.
