WWE reveals Backlash 2025 poster featuring Randy Orton ahead of the May event in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
WWE has unveiled the official promotional artwork for its first Premium Live Event following WrestleMania 41. The Backlash 2025 poster prominently features Randy Orton as the sole superstar, marking the event’s return to United States soil after previous international editions.
The striking visual showcases Orton surrounded by serpents, embracing the long-standing snake imagery associated with his character. This design choice aligns perfectly with the event’s setting in St. Louis, Missouri – Orton’s hometown – where the show will take place at the Enterprise Center on May 10, 2025.
Triple H shared the artwork across social media platforms with the tagline: “For each WrestleMania moment… there is a reaction. WWE Backlash will be broadcast live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis on May 10.” The connection between the featured superstar and the host city appears deliberate in the marketing strategy.
This booking marks Backlash’s stateside return following successful international stops. The 2024 edition in Lyon, France delivered one of the year’s strongest viewership figures, while the 2023 show in Puerto Rico featured music star Bad Bunny in a prominent role.
Fans can catch the action either by attending in person or through streaming platforms – Peacock for United States viewers and Netflix for the international audience.
