Where Is Backlash 2025? WWE’s Post-WrestleMania Event Heads to St. Louis

All the details you need on where WWE Backlash 2025 is taking place.

As one of WWE’s most anticipated Premium Live Events of the year, Backlash follows directly after WrestleMania and often shapes the direction of WWE’s spring and summer storylines.

So, where is Backlash 2025?

WWE have confirmed that Backlash 2025 will be held at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on Saturday, May 10, 2025.

WWE Backlash 2025 Location

The Enterprise Center, located in the heart of downtown St. Louis, will host the event. This venue has been the site of several major WWE milestones over the decades, including:

• The first-ever Hell in a Cell match (1997)

• The Rock’s first WWE Championship win (1998)

• Sting’s WWE debut (2014 Survivor Series)

St. Louis itself is a city with deep roots in professional wrestling, making it a fitting backdrop for Backlash’s return to the US.

Where Is WWE Backlash 2025?

After two consecutive international editions – Puerto Rico in 2023 and France in 2024 – Backlash 2025 marks the event’s return to the US.

The move back to a domestic venue is part of WWE’s ongoing strategy to alternate major PLEs between global destinations and wrestling hotbeds like St. Louis.

Backlash 2024 made history in France, setting a record for the highest gate for any WWE arena event.

This year’s choice of venue hints that WWE are aiming to keep the momentum going while spotlighting homegrown fanbases.

Randy Orton and John Cena Are Set to Appear at Backlash

Two legendary names are already confirmed for the event:

• Randy Orton, a St. Louis native, is expected to play a prominent role in front of his hometown crowd.

• John Cena will also appear, marking his first Backlash appearance since 2009 and continuing his retirement tour, which wraps up in December 2025.

With both Cena and Orton in the building, there’s speculation that WWE could set the stage for a possible final encounter between the two legends – especially if Cena leaves WrestleMania 41 as Undisputed Champion.

What to Expect from WWE Backlash 2025

Backlash typically kicks off WWE’s new season of storylines, serving as the first major fallout from WrestleMania. Whether it’s title rematches, betrayals, or fresh feuds, the event often sets the tone for the summer months.

Some possibilities fans are buzzing about include John Cena’s first title defence, should he win at WrestleMania, and St. Louis’ own Randy Orton potentially stepping into a challenger role.

Regardless of how the card shapes up, Backlash is expected to be a newsworthy night filled with action, surprises, and emotion – especially with Cena’s farewell tour in full swing.
