WWE Backlash 2025 Matches Canceled

WWE

With only five matches on the WWE Backlash 2025 card, there are several expected matchups that didn’t end up making the final cut.

While the abbreviated card is likely to focus attention on the main event between John Cena and hometown hero Randy Orton, there are still a few bouts that were seemingly on course for taking place before being dropped.

Here are seven WWE Backlash 2025 matches that were alluded to, but didn’t end up happening.

7. Jade Cargill vs. Naomi

A non-title grudge match like this (even ending in DQ when shenanigans erupt at ringside) would have been a simple way to add more than one women’s match onto the card for Backlash 2025.

While there was some tag team action on a recent edition of SmackDown featuring Jade Cargill teaming with Tiffany Stratton to take on the formidable duo of Naomi and Nia Jax – it didn’t serve to cement any alliances.

Rather, Cargill made her intention to take Tiffany’s WWE Women’s Championship from her clear – a sentiment she reiterated again on the SmackDown before Backlash, telling Charlotte Flair to “get to the back of the line” before Cargill’s #1 contender’s match against Jax.

While Nia Jax ended up beating Cargill – with the help of a distraction from Naomi who attacked Stratton at ringside – it seems this feud is far from over.
