The card for WWE Backlash on Saturday, May 10 is just about complete—or is it already done？ It‘s tough to tell, though it seems a little unlikely that we’d only have five matches on a non-Royal Rumble premium live event.

As it stands, here are the five matches we know will take place in St. Louis at Backlash on Saturday:

WWE Backlash 2025 Confirmed Matches

John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton

Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch

Jacob Fatu (c) vs. LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest

Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Penta

Gunther vs. Pat McAfee

As of now, the following Superstars are without a match at Backlash:

• Roman Reigns
• CM Punk
• Seth Rollins
• Cody Rhodes
• Bron Breakker
• WWE Tag Team Champions: The Street Profits
• WWE Womens Tag Team Champions: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
• World Tag Team Champions: The New Day
• Bianca Belair
• Naomi
• Jade Cargill
• Mens World Heavyweight Champion: Jey Uso
• WWE Womens World Champion: Tiffany Stratton
• Womens World Champion: Iyo Sky
• Womens U.S. Champion: Zelina Vega
• Nia Jax
• The Motor City Machine Guns
• Aleister Black
• Karrion Kross
• Chelsea Green
• Logan Paul

Thats a lot of missing star power. And as of now, only four of the promotions 13 recognized titles will be on the line.

If were looking for potential additions to the card, you might point to something developing between Jey Uso and Logan Paul. The latter slugged the reigning World Heavyweight Champion after Raw went off the air on Monday.

There‘s definitely a program brewing between the two, but that could wind up being Uso’s SummerSlam opponent. I predict Paul will win Money in the Bank and succeed with one of the more memorable cash-ins in WWE history later this year.

There‘s also the possibility that a WWE Women’s World Championship match happens between Tiffany Stratton and Nia Jax. Immediately after WrestleMania 41, it was made clear Jax wasnt done with Stratton. She attacked her to interfere with an impromptu match against Cargill, thereby rekindling their feud.

There arent a ton of feuds for Stratton to have at the moment, but one with Jax makes the most sense, and they could potentially entertain at Backlash.

One of the less-entertaining time-filling feuds on WWE programming is the one between Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky against Giulia and Roxanne Perez. All four women are outstanding performers, but Id much rather watch them in a Fatal Four-Way than in this battle of makeshift tag teams.

Hopefully, that‘s where we’ll end up at some point later this year. Be on the lookout for more updates on Backlash as we move toward the PLE, and the last bit of news concerning the WWE weekend following SmackDown from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio.

It will also be interesting to see if the promotions recent cuts have an impact on the show and the upcoming week of WWE programming. Will we see new factions form？ Will we find out who—or if—Rollins, Breakker, and Paul Heyman will add a new member to their faction？

Perhaps that will have to wait until the Raw after Backlash. In any case, it should be an interesting next few weeks in the WWE as we may also see a brand draft before Saturday Nights Main Event on May 24. Stay tuned.
