It was the WWE Backlash 2025 Eve Friday evening in Dayton, Ohio for “Wwe Smackdown”. The action of the Tag team held the spotlight, followed by the undisputed WWE champion, John Cena, close at night.
The third time is charm.
It’s a shame that WWE piles all the traditions of Cena and Randy Orton in such a short time, because it will be surprising to see them continue to quarrely after the file.

Tonight, Orton was standing for the third time after another RKO on the champion, preparing the way for “The Viper’s” Homecoming in St. Louis tomorrow. This closing segment of “WWE Smackdown” was mainly only a promotion of CENA – he told the public that our childhood would die during the backlash. In addition, a fan threw a Michelob Ultra bottle for him.
Cena has deeply dug in the insult of the family history of Orton and the heritage. It was a brilliant job, and he was in his warmest with their personal history reminders. But then he started to look a bit like an exaggerated bad supervillian. It’s always just aesthetics – it just doesn’t correspond, guy. It has become more normal, but still, Hollywood Cena would feel much more appropriate to play in this way.
In the end, Cena called Orton Smart for not having presented during her promo, which led a masked impostor to make an attitude adjustment. It was obviously not Orton because of the mask, and was used as a cunning to allow Orton to sneak for the third RKO he struck in the previous weeks. It was simple, but effective between these two in this last step. But guy, it could have been so much more.

Anyway, their last game should offer many fun trips in the past.
Blissmas came early
I’m fed up with everything between Zelina Vegas and Chelsea Green. The quarrel is apparently drugged for an unknown reason despite a green joke. (Yes, I know that it is supposed to be a joke.) However, on this “WWE Smackdown”, a match for Vega against Green and Piper Niven was used as a vehicle to welcome Alexa Bliss on television after the error which was his post-Royal Rumble disappearance.
Bliss rightly received another great pop in his hometown, but it would have happened despite everything. There was no reason to sit it in the shade. Despite how random it was, it is better to start it again than at all.
In the ring, Bliss looks great and did not miss a beat once she obtained the hot label and the possible sister Abigail DDT on Green. Thus, while the green burial continues, happiness and vega shine. Fans want to encourage happiness, but it must go for gold immediately. His big title reigns so long ago, and his character was completely different. Whether it is heel or face, it could be the lifting foil of the title of the United States like Becky Lynch is for the intercontinental crown that comes into play.

Curiously, there was a not so subtle interaction with Charlotte Flair later. Maybe another strange label is looming? I do not like it for happiness, but it is a unique potential duo to throw in an nonexistent division.
🤮 Atrocity of the night
I don’t know what to say. Again, I am upset to be right with my prediction that Naomi would cost Jade Cargill the victory against Nia Jax, which means that we will see an unnecessary and stupid revenge match between Tiffany Stratton and Jax. What do we do, guy? Seriously. Of the two Naomi and Cargill options for Stratton, WWE regurgitis rather a useless jax title shot.
Let’s talk about the appearance of Flair in front of Jax against Cargill. It was the first appearance of Flair since his defeat of Wrestlemania 41 against Stratton, and she boasted of “taking Stratton at the limit” in “Mest Women’s Wrestlemania Match in history”. Neither was true, but it was an interesting approach because she crossed her lines and asked the crowd of Dayton why they lacked respect. She slammed the microphone and came out, while Cargill entered, telling Flair to go to the back of the line.
We have already seen these teases to fight against the flair. I thought she could be the only one to cost Cargill instead of Naomi, but she then had the interaction of happiness behind the scenes. WWE must correspond to these two together at a given time. However, it is the assumption of anyone.
👍 Fenday Night Fire 👍
1 and 1 The Knight and Damian Priest beat Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. The match was almost everything you need, and what you expect from one of the teams preparing to face the next night. There was a fun arrow place at the end of the match between Knight and Priest. Despite their inability to coexist, they have always won, with Knight pinning Sikoa on a BFT. To close the scene, Fatu was standing out, while the crowd applauded – then Drew McIntyre had the last laugh, hitting a Claymore kick on Fatu.

Looking outside the ring was Sikoa, who dropped with relevance because the line was very alive. He desperately needed to light Fatu to feel like someone to take it seriously.
2 Something interesting is happening with Aleister Black – and it is nothing linked to his return or his vignettes. But that does not seem coincident that WWE shows all these black packages before or after the matches of his wife Vega, so here are these two to connect to the screen in one way or another.
3 and 3 Speaking of black, he is presented as the coolest guy in the world. He beat Carmelo Hayes via the distraction in the middle of Miz in a fun match, then released Miz with a dark mass and just got out of the ring as if it were nothing. Hayes was protected in defeat, and black, let’s hope it goes from these two.
4 Rey Fenix and Andrade have defeated Los Garza and can now (hope) go from each other. This last team seems to be disagreeing after Berto is angry with Santos Esbobar. The team needs something fresh because everything they do is lose these days.
👎 Down & Out 👎
1 and 1 Byron Saxton interviewed McIntyre behind the scenes after his Claymore on Fatu. The guy asked why McIntyre did this. Really? They have a match for the title tomorrow night. The promotion, as usual, was excellent, but what a stupid question to “activate” the segment.
2 Production and intensity were put in a long Gunther video package against Pat McAfee could not have been a greater waste of time. WWE is putting in place that, a lot, too much.
👑 Non -crown gem of the night 👑
Surprise, surprise. A match between the profits from the street and Fraxiom was great.

The story of the match was the murdered coast of Montez Ford interrupting him throughout the match after the victory of TLC instantaneous instant of his team two weeks ago. As it was a titleless match, the wait was a victory upset by Fraxiom, and that’s what we got. Honestly, I don’t like the champions of the tag team losing their first match after this TLC match of all time. But it was just too good, and the result will give us a sequel, so that’s good news. I dare say great news.
👑 I give this show a score of the crown of: 6.5 / 10. 👑
