Backlash 2025 will be on 10th May (11th May for India). The much awaited action event is just over the horizon. The show has had five bookings by the company, only four of them title bouts. As you all are aware, Triple H now usually only keeps five matches at premium live events. There is great surprise in store for the audience in the show, perhaps a comeback of a big star.
Anyway, all the wrestlers active in the event are doing a great job. Everyone will be willing to do anything to get a win. A loss for some can be devastating. They could have serious career changes. In this post, we’ll talk about 3 superstars who would face great problems if they failed at Backlash 2025.
Lyra Valkyria’s Push Might Suffer a Blow
Lyra Valkyria will face Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Backlash 2025. In 2025, earlier in the year, in an episode of Raw, Lyra earned the title of the first ever winner of WWE’s Women’s IC Champion by defeating Dakota Kai. She has since then performed well. But, she now has to contend with Becky Lynch, who, to be sure, is not lacking in experience.
If Valkyria loses, she can see some major difficulties. Her booking may also be affecting her afterward, just like Chelsea Green did. If she can pull off a win over a veteran like Becky Lynch, it will be a great one for her career. For Lyra to keep doing great in her future as a star, she has to pin Becky Lynch.

Penta Could Suffer a Setback
Penta made his WWE Raw début in early 2025, and soon the fans took a keen interest in him. His booking was initially very good, but later on began to drop. Penta’s invincible record in singles matches in single provincial weekends officially ended, and he lost some major matches, including at WrestleMania 41.
At Backlash 2025, Dominik Mysterio will meet the opponent of Penta for the Intercontinental Championship title. A few weeks ago, Mysterio defeated Penta on Raw. Penta has had his other chance, and if he fails one more time, it could be a big blow. His image, which he had created using his incredible in-ring moves, could be badly shot. If that occurs, then his booking can also be weakened.
Will John Cena keep his title?
John Cena has sidelined Cody Rhodes to take the Undisputed WWE Championship last month at WrestleMania 41. Now, at the 2025 Backlash, he will make his first title defense against Randy Orton. Cena is on a retirement tour, and he doesn’t have a lot of time. With this in mind, he looks set to lose his championship. The company is what gave him the victory at WrestleMania because of his record many World Championship wins for the 17th time.

The 2025 Backlash will be hosted in St. Louis, Missouri, Randy Orton’s hometown. Orton has not been a World Champion since 2020. It would be a huge insult if Cena loses the title. His heel run would falter and fans could lose interest in his future matches. That’s why he needs to hold on to his title at all costs.
