To no one's surprised due to the events that went down this week on WWE Raw, the planned main event for WWE Backlash next month is for Universal Champion John Cena to defend his title against Randy Orton.
The match is expected to be billed as "One Last Time", suggesting that it will be the final time that Cena and Orton will wrestle a singles match. The last bout between the two took place way back in 2017 at a house show in Mexico. Backlash is set to take place on May 10, 2025 in St. Louis, MO and Orton is featured exclusively on the poster for the show given that it emanates from his hometown.
