7 WWE Backlash 2025 Surprises
With shocking returns to some major heel turns, here are all the seven surprises for you:
7) Cody Rhodes returns & attacks Cena
Backlash could be the right opportunity for Cody to return and confront Cena after his loss at WrestleMania 41.
Helping Randy win the title and setting a future feud with John could be the next storyline for Cody in the coming months.
6) Sami Zayn turns heel
Sami Zayn was recently asked by Seth to leave Raw and shift to SmackDown to get a title opportunity against Cena, but he refused.
Being an ally with the Usos, we can finally see him turn on his friends and cost Jey the World Heavyweight title loss against Logan Paul at WWE Backlash 2025.
5) Lana Joins Rusev
Lana, after leaving AEW, is now a free agent, which opens the doors for her WWE return.
This time Lana could come back along with Rusev as she used to do during his earlier days and help him get his way through one of the biggest WWE titles.
4) Alexa Bliss Return
Alexa, after her return, just vanished after the elimination chamber.
Rumors of her making a return alongside The Wyatt Sicks, could most probably take place at Backlash 2025.
3) Paige attacks Iyo Sky
With Iyo being surrounded by Roxanne and Giulia, WWE might schedule a tag team match, which could neglect the women’s world title match.
Paige’s return and attack on Iyo could make a bold statement and pave the way for her future storyline as women’s champion.
2) Fraxiom makes WWE PLE debut
After the tag title loss against Hank & Tank, Fraxiom could finally make their way to WWE at Backlash 2025.
They could make their way to challenge The Street Profits for tag team championships and start their reign in the WWE main roster.
1) Hikuleo Debuts
With months of rumors and teasing, WWE disappointed everyone by not introducing their latest signee, Hikuleo.
Now the time is right for him to make way in WWE and join Seth, Bron, and Paul in their battle against Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
We hope you enjoyed all 7 major WWE Backlash 2025 surprises that might knock on our doors on May 10.
