John Cena and Randy Orton have been rivals for most of their careers. After Cena won the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41, Orton attacked him with an RKO the following week on RAW, renewing their legendary rivalry. This set up a match between them for WWE Backlash 2025.
Over the next few weeks, Cena and Orton confronted each other a couple of times in the ring. Last week, Orton again hit an RKO on Cena during SmackDown. It looks like Cena got lucky in the title match. It will be interesting to see if he retains his title tonight.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
