Excitement Grows for WWE Backlash 2025 in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, Missouri — As fans digest the thrilling highlights from WrestleMania 41, anticipation is building for WWE Backlash 2025, scheduled for May 10 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. The event promises to showcase the aftermath of WrestleMania, with several key rivalries expected to escalate.

At WrestleMania, Dominik Mysterio emerged as the new Intercontinental Champion after a chaotic four-way match, pinning Finn Balor. Following this victory, a one-on-one confrontation between Mysterio and Balor appears imminent, raising questions about the loyalties within Judgment Day. With other group members, including Carlito, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez, caught in the mix, their choices could significantly influence the outcome of future matches.

This year’s WrestleMania featured several pivotal matches, including the Undisputed Championship bout between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. Cena’s shocking heel turn and alliance with The Rock culminated in him capturing his 17th world title, a storyline that could see ramifications at Backlash, particularly in relation to Rhodes, who may want to reclaim his title.

The card for Backlash is taking shape, with several intriguing contests already hinted. The rivalry between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre is expected to continue, following their conflict at WrestleMania, where McIntyre triumphed over Priest in a Street Fight. This ongoing feud suggests they may engage once more in St. Louis, possibly in a rematch.

On the women’s side, the Women's Tag Team Championship will also be a focus, showcasing Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez against Lyra Valkyria and a mystery partner, following Bayley’s injury leading up to WrestleMania. The stakes are high, with the titles and pride on the line.

As Backlash approaches, WWE has teased further surprises and match announcements, keeping fans eager for more drama and excitement. The event’s build-up is expected to include significant developments in both ongoing storylines and character arcs, particularly with Cena now positioned as a heel champion.

With these dynamics at play, fans can expect an action-packed night in St. Louis, as the WWE universe eagerly awaits to see the fallout of WrestleMania take center stage once again.
