WWE adjusted the Backlash 2025 lineup hours before the show, deviating from the initially planned schedule. Fightful Select reports multiple matches were repositioned, though John Cena vs. Randy Orton remained the closing bout.
Originally, Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta was set to open the event, while Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria was scheduled for the penultimate slot. Both matches were moved earlier in the night following the reshuffle.
Sources indicate most changes occurred over the weekend, with only Cena vs. Orton locked in as the finale. The revisions sparked speculation among fans regarding WWE’s reasoning behind the sudden adjustments.
Despite the reordering, the event featured several major moments. No official explanation has been provided for the late alterations.
