The 2025 edition of Backlash will take place on May 10th in St. Louis. These are my 2025 WWE Backlash predictions where I try and predict the match and who will win.
Check out my 2025 WWE Summerslam predictions on Youtube.
WWE Backlash Predictions 2025
Dominik Mysterio vs Penta for Intercontinental Championship (CONFIRMED)
WWE has confirmed an Intercontinental Championship match for the event. It will be Dominik Mysterio against Penta.
It feels too early for Dominik to drop his belt. I am going to guess that this match ends in a disqualification, so he retains.
I expect WWE to heavily protect Penta from taking a clean loss here. That means lots of shenanigans.
Winner Prediction
- Dominik Mysterio retains by disqualification
Jacob Fatu vs. LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest (CONFIRMED)
WWE has confirmed a fatal 4-way match for United States Championship. It will be Jacob Fatu vs LA Knight vs Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest.
This should be a fun match. I am going with Fatu winning to retain. This likely comes after help from Solo Sikoa.
I feel like we are heading towards Drew vs Fatu next, so I expect either Priest or Knight to take the pin here.
Winner Prediction
- Jacob Fatu
Gunther vs Pat McAfee (CONFIRMED)
WWE has confirmed a match between Gunther and Pat McAfee for this event.
I think this should be a fun match. I expect Gunther to win here after losing at Wrestlemania.
Gunther will win and will likely dominate. Maybe this is even a way to write Pat off WWE TV for a bit? We will have to wait and see.
Winner Prediction
- Gunther
Becky Lynch vs Lyra Valkyria (CONFIRMED)
WWE has confirmed a match between Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria for this event. This will be for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
This should be a solid match.
I am going with Becky winning here. I could see her going on a lengthy title reign as a heel.
Winner Prediction
- Becky Lynch
Randy Orton vs John Cena (CONFIRMED)
WWE has confirmed Randy Orton vs John Cena for this event. This will be for the Undisputed Championship.
Orton won’t win the title here but will be cool to see him in the mix in his hometown of St. Louis.
Winner Prediction
- John Cena
