Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of WWE Backlash 2025. We are not only witnessing John Cena's final year with WWE, but we also got to see him face one of his oldest rivals one last time when he defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton.

As CinemaBlend guessed in our WWE Backlash predictions, Pat McAfee could not best Gunther in a one-on-one singles match. The outcome is hardly surprising, but the follow-up reaction from the commentator certainly threw me for a loop. While I expected him to take some time off following the loss, it sounds like it could be longer than anticipated.
