WWE Backlash 2025: Randy Orton Headlines Upcoming Event in St. Louis
WWE Backlash 2025 Set for May 10
The highly anticipated WWE Backlash 2025 is scheduled for May 10, following Wrestlemania 41. The event's official poster has been unveiled, showcasing Randy Orton as the main attraction.
Taking place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, Orton's hometown, the event promises to be significant for the superstar. The poster indicates that he will have a prominent role during the premium live event (PLE). Ticket presales began on March 19, and fans can also purchase Priority Passes through On Location, WWE's Official Fan Hospitality Partner.
Paul 'Triple H' Levesque shared the poster, emphasizing that every Wrestlemania is followed by a crucial backlash. However, details regarding Orton's specific match or involvement that night remain undisclosed.
Uncertain Matchups Ahead of Backlash
It remains unclear who Orton will face at WWE Backlash 2025. Before that, WWE must confirm his opponent for Wrestlemania 41. Orton's plans for the upcoming PLE are still uncertain, especially after his scheduled opponent, Kevin Owens, had to withdraw due to a neck injury requiring surgery. Despite this, Orton is expected to compete on the second night of Wrestlemania.
