The WWE Backlash: St. Louis pay-per-view event took place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO, on Saturday, May 10, 2025. While the show delivered in the ring, Fightful Select is reporting that the backstage scene was notably quieter than usual. One WWE talent quipped that “no one was here,” referencing the trimmed-down five-match card and contrasting the sparse environment with the typically packed atmosphere of WrestleMania weekend.

Despite multiple changes to the match card throughout the weekend, the main event — John Cena vs. Randy Orton — remained intact and was always locked in as the show’s headliner.
