"WWE Backlash 2025" is approaching, and key superstars on the "Raw" and "SmackDown" brands are preparing for the PLE.

An old rivalry has been renewed between two future WWE Hall of Famers. A protégé betrayed by her mentor will look for revenge. A popular color commentator is set to return to the ring against a former world champion, and a champion on the fast track to stardom seeks to keep his momentum going.

The marquee match on the "WWE Backlash" card will be contested for the Undisputed WWE Championship. It'll be titleholder John Cena going one-on-one with his longtime enemy Randy Orton. "The Viper" will have the hometown crowd on his side.
