WWE Backlash 2025: UK start time on Netflix, final match card and latest odds

• The WWE’s latest Premium Live Event has already arrived, not two week after WrestleMania 41
• WWE Backlash will see John Cena defend his WWE Undisputed Championship against Randy Orton - a St. Louis native.
• Here’s the current card for this weekend’s PLE, along with betting odds, current champions and what time to tune in if you’re in the UK.

John Cena's farewell tour continues as the WWE heads to St. Louis for their next Premium Live Event, WWE Backlash 2025.

With his remaining dates dwindling – a fact Cena himself has highlighted during his entrances – will hometown hero Randy Orton defeat one of his generational rivals and take the title from "The Last Real World Champion"?

Elsewhere, former tag team champions Lyra Valkyria and Becky Lynch clash over Valkyria’s WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship, after Lynch turned on her young Irish partner following their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship loss to Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez.

A feud will also be settled as Pat McAfee defends the honour of his broadcast partner, Michael Cole, against former World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. This match was set after Gunther showed a rare display of poor sportsmanship, laying his hands on Cole during an episode of WWE Raw, prompting McAfee to sucker punch Gunther. There will be no sucker punches when the two face off this weekend.

Here's your guide to this weekend’s PLE, including the announced matches, the UK start time for both the show and the pre-show, and a look at the current WWE champions across all three brands, along with the current betting odds for the event.
