WWE Backlash 2025 recap

Backlash 2025 has come, gone and I think we can all agree that the card looked alot better than the execution. Opening up the show Jacob Fatu successfully defended his United States championship against LA Knight, Drew McIntyre and Damien Priest with a little help from his cousin Solo Sikoa and new comer to WWE Jeff Cobb. Next we turn our attention to the women's Intercontinental championship as Lyra Valkyra defends against Becky Lynch, after giving all The Man could unfortunately Lyra ended up being the better competitor. Following the Women's IC title we head into the mens, 'Dirty' Dom Mysterio defends his newly won Intercontinental championship against Penta of course to the surprise of no one there were many bouts of interference during this match but the most notable comes from the giant coffee as he headbutted Penta behind the refs back helping secure a victory for Dirty Dom. Next on the card Pat McAfee challenges former World Heavyweight champion Gunther in honor of his friend Michael Cole after Gunther attacked them both unprovoked, Pat lasted a valient 15 minutes but to the surprise of no one Gunther came out victorious. Main event comes in the form of a long standing rivalry 23 years in the making John Cena takes on Randy Orton with the rolls completely reversed this time. Cena stuck to slow and methodical throughout the match using some under handed tactics and knocking out a ref or two before retaining his 17th championship. 

We come back for NXT battleground and AEW Double or Nothing on the 24th.
