How To Watch WWE Backlash 2025: Date, Start Time, Match Card, Location & Live Stream

The clock is ticking down to the end of John Cena's career, and with just 26 dates remaining as an active competitor, one of his oldest rivals is stepping up to the plate first to try and save the WWE Championship from permanent retirement.

Randy Orton has the opportunity to be a true hometown hero when he battle's the Never Seen 17-Time World Champion coming up at WWE Backlash on Saturday, May 10.

The Viper will walk into the Enterprise Center in St. Louis with a chance to capture the 15th World Championship of his own illustrious career, and in doing so, keep both the WWE's future and his family's legacy intact.

There's no question that Gunther would love the chance to defend his own World Heavyweight Championship in the 'Gateway to the West', but he tapped out to Jey Uso in Las Vegas. The Ring General has been in a foul mood ever since and the first target of what could be a brutal comeback tour is Raw commentator Pat McAfee.

Becky Lynch is back in business and business could really be boomin' after Backlash. The Man ended her year long hiatus from WWE at WrestleMania 41 when she ambushed Bayley backstage and stole her spot in the Women's Tag Team Title Match.

Lynch and Lyra Valkyria won the titles inside of Allegiant Stadium, but lost them the next night on Raw when future Hollywood starlet Liv Morgan pinned the Women's Intercontinental Champion. That's when the false facade of Big Time Becks abruptly dissipated in the form of a violent onslaught against her former protégé, whom she deemed to be a lost cause.

It was a betrayal that Valkyria admits she never saw coming because she was blinded by the dream of being Irish Women's Tag Team Champions with her idol, but she's ready to fight back now that Lynch has revealed her true self to the WWE Universe.

Lyra Valkyria will put her Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line against Becky Lynch in St. Louis and she's looking to replicate her NXT Women's Title victory over The Man that happened back at Halloween Havoc 2023. This marks the first time that the recently commissioned Women's IC Title will be defended on a Premium Live Event.

The Men's IC Title will be on the line as well, and so will the Men's United States Championship. Jacob Fatu defends his title for the first time in a Fatal 4-Way Match. Here's everything we currently know about WWE Backlash. Make sure to check back often for updates.
