What would Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena’s final year as a competitor be without an historic battle against longtime rival Randy Orton?

The Viper struck Cena with an RKO, one day after Cena shockingly defeated Cody Rhodes to win his 17th World Title at WrestleMania 41.

On SmackDown, Orton officially challenged Cena at Backlash, which will emanate from The Viper’s hometown, St. Louis.

Cena and Orton have a legendary rivalry, having faced each 21 times in a wide variety of matches including two Hell in a Cell Matches, a TLC Match, an “I Quit” Match and more.

In their 21 battles, Cena is 13-7-1 against Orton in singles matches. The last time these two squared off was on an episode of SmackDown in 2017, when Cena emerged victorious. Cena is undefeated against Orton in their last four matches.

With Cena eclipsing Ric Flair’s record of 16 World Titles, Orton is not far behind the new record, with 14 World Titles attached to The Apex Predator’s resume. With an impressive 31 World Titles between these legendary Superstars, this match may have the most World Titles shared ever in a singles contest.

Who will walk out the victor and the Undisputed WWE Champion in what could be the final time these two future WWE Hall of Famers clash?​

In a heated rivalry born in betrayal, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria will battle Becky Lynch for the title at WWE Backlash.

When Valkyria's WrestleMania tag team partner Bayley was mysteriously attacked prior to the WWE Women's Tag Team Title Match against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, The Man returned to action to help Lyra win the gold on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Morgan and Rodriguez reclaimed the title the next night on Raw, however, promoting an outraged Lynch to suddenly assault her partner.

After making it known that she had been the one who ambushed Bayley in order to replace her at The Show of Shows, The Man was confronted by the titleholder, leading to the announcement of their showdown on May 10.
