After Backlash 2024 set records as WWE’s first Premium Live Event in France, the company has decided to bring things back to home soil for Backlash 2025. And where better to host a night of suplexes, RKOs, and five-knuckle shuffles than St. Louis, Missouri—home of one very dangerous viper named Randy Orton?
Mark your calendars! WWE has officially confirmed that Backlash 2025 will take place on Saturday, May 10, at the Enterprise Center. This event promises more than just body slams and dramatic camera zooms—it will also be a key stop on John Cena’s farewell tour before his retirement in December 2025. Whether he and Orton will relive their legendary rivalry one last time remains unknown, but let’s be honest—if those two lock eyes in the ring, the roof might come off the building.
For those wanting to witness history firsthand, tickets go on sale Friday, March 21 at 10 AM CT, with a pre-sale on Wednesday, March 19 at 10 AM CT.
Enterprise Center: A WWE Hotspot with Iconic Moments
The Enterprise Center (formerly known as Kiel Center, SAVVIS Center, and Scottrade Center, because arenas change names more than The Big Show switches alignments) has hosted some of WWE’s most legendary moments, including:
🔥 First-ever Hell in a Cell Match (1997): Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker—where Kane made his fiery debut.
🔥 Survivor Series 1998: The Rock wins his first WWE Championship, beginning his corporate reign of terror.
🔥 Survivor Series 2014: Sting’s shocking WWE debut, because nothing says chaos like a guy in face paint showing up unannounced.
🔥 Raw 1000 (2012): A historic night featuring legends, returns, and enough pyro to scare half of St. Louis.
With WWE’s history of pulling out all the stops for Backlash, this year’s event promises to be another can’t-miss night of action—and with Randy Orton and John Cena both set to appear, fans might just get one more legendary face-off before Cena rides off into the Hollywood sunset.
