A gigantic Fatal Four-way match is scheduled to take place when Jacob Fatu will defend his United States title against Drew McIntyre, LA Knight & Damian Priest. The fifth match is the show's main event, where John Cena & Randy Orton will square off in an Undisputed WWE title match.

Does WWE have any surprise returns planned for Backlash 2025?

As of writing, no surprise returns are highly likely to take place at Backlash 2025. The only possibility of witnessing a surprise return is during Cena & Orton's main event match. We have seen how Travis Scott aided the Franchise Player in dethroning Cody Rhodes.

So it's conceivable that the American rapper may appear again at Backlash and help the Cenation Leader to defeat the Viper. In addition, a return of the American Nightmare is also anticipated. The former Royal Rumble winner may return and confront Cena after the match.

Besides this, there is a small hope that Goldberg will make his return and cost Gunther against McAfee, setting up a future showdown.
