In Backlash 2025, Randy Orton will have an opportunity for WWE's undisputed title when he faces John Cena. The Legend Killer attacked The Franchise Player at the RAW after Wrestlemania, which eventually led to programming this fight for the world title for the next premium event live.
In an unexpected turn, the predator could miss Backlash 2025 due to an injury. This could be developed when Drew McIntyre lashes a possible attack against the veteran, leaving him incapacitated. As a consequence, Scottish Warrior could replace Randy Orton and face John Cena on May 10, 2025 at the Enterprise Center, St. Louis, MO.
A few weeks ago, when McIntyre confronted Jacob Fatu, only Sikoa and the Knight on SmackDown, he planned to go after the world title. However, Orton came forward and obtained the opportunity for the title. Therefore, to get the fight for the title against the Cenation Leader, Drew could take a new way by destroying The Legend Killer days before Backlash 2025.
This possible attack behind the veteran would lead to being discarded from his next fight for the title. In addition, Drew McIntyre could then intervene and replace The Viper to face John Cena in Backlash 2025 for WWE's undisputed title. A movement like this will contribute a new turn to the current history and possibly generate more emotion among fans.
In addition, this allows WWE to save the confrontation between Orton and dinner for the later months of this year, being Summerslam 2025 one of the ideal places. Although the previous scenario is speculative, it will still be intriguing to see how things develop as we approach the next WWE ple.
Randy Orton could refuse to lose to John Cena at WWE Backlash 2025
Speaking in UnSKriptedveteran journalist Bill Apter shared his opinion about the next fight between Cena and Orton. The journalist believed that The Legend Killer might not accept to lose cleanly to The Franchise Player in his shock inside the WWE ring.
Despite this, if Orton suffered defeat at WWE Backlash 2025, it could be a controversial. Declared:
“I know Randy and I know what he will accept and what I don't, and I don't think he feels comfortable losing cleanly before John Cena in St. Louis. I just don't see it happening. (…) I think there would be some kind of controversy in defeat.”
It remains to be seen in Backlash 2025 when Randy Orton faces John Cena once again.
