John Cena vs Randy Orton is likely to happen at WWE Backlash 2025
So far, only two big WWE superstars have been promoted for WWE Backlash 2025 and those two are John Cena and Randy Orton. This makes fans believe that both could fight each other in a big match. If this happens, it will be their first one-on-one match after many years.
This year, WWE Backlash will take place on May 20 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, which is Randy Orton’s hometown. WWE has also shown Orton on the official event poster, which means he will almost surely be part of the show.
Cena may become the villain, Orton may get fans’ support
This time, the story could take a new turn. In the past, Orton was the bad guy (heel) and Cena was the good guy (face). But now, the roles may change. Reports say that John Cena might act as the villain, and Randy Orton could become the fan-favorite.
WWE fans are already divided, some support Cena, calling him the ‘Greatest of All Time’, and others want to cheer for Orton, especially since he will be wrestling in his hometown.
WrestleMania 41 results will decide what happens at WWE Backlash
WrestleMania 41 is just a few days away, and all eyes are on the match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. If Cena wins, it will be his 17th world title, and he will break Ric Flair’s historic record.
Cody Rhodes is not being promoted for the RAW episode after WrestleMania, which has made people think Cena might win. If he becomes champion, then a title match between Cena and Orton at WWE Backlash looks possible.
WWE Backlash 2025 could tell a new story between old rivals
If this match happens, it could be one of the most emotional and exciting matches in recent WWE history. Especially because Orton will fight in his hometown and may be seen as a hero by the crowd.
Triple H, who handles the booking now, can make smart use of this moment. If the story is done well, fans will be more interested, and the match could become a big moment in WWE.
Full match card not out yet, but Cena vs Orton is the main talk
WWE has not released the full match list for WWE Backlash 2025 yet, but if Cena vs Orton is confirmed, the event is already something fans will not want to miss.
WWE Backlash is always the first big show after WrestleMania. It starts new storylines and sometimes ends old ones. So, Cena vs Orton at WWE Backlash could become the next big chapter in WWE.
