On Saturday, John Cena and Randy Orton will clash for the 22nd and potentially last time during WWE Backlash, a pivotal event featuring the undisputed WWE championship as the prize. Cena recently triumphed over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, igniting his quest for the undisputed title as he approaches retirement. Orton, eager to renew his rivalry with Cena, returns to his hometown of St. Louis, aiming to halt Cena’s ambitions.
The pay-per-view promises a night full of title bouts. A particularly exciting match features a fatal four-way for the United States championship, where Jacob Fatu, the current champion from WrestleMania 41, will battle Drew McIntyre, L.A. Knight, and Damian Priest. This match is a continuation of the fierce conflict between McIntyre and Priest.
In another highlight, new intercontinental champion Dominik Mysterio faces Penta. There’s still anticipation regarding their interaction leading to this match, especially considering Mysterio has ongoing tensions with Penta’s allies in Judgement Day, alongside support from Finn Balor.
