This show marks the final Backlash for John Cena, who is calling it quits at the end of the year. He'll main event Backlash against a longtime rival.

I don’t want to get myself in trouble here by pulling a Bobby Heenan and prematurely bragging a little too aggressively, but historically, Backlash is the easiest PLE on WWE’s entire calendar to predict.

John Cena and Randy Orton's rivarly runs deep. The generational stars have feuded for the world title numerous times. On WWE SmackDown, Orton added a new wrinkle to their Backlash encounter. For the first time, Orton will wrestle not only a contemporary in Cena, but also a legend.
