As WWE Backlash 2025 fast approaches, don’t let the currently short match card fool you – there are plenty of opportunities for surprises.

From stars that are expected to return from injury to some who have just been curiously absent from TV, there are many possibilities when it comes to who could make a surprise comeback at the event.

Here are nine potential returns that could happen at WWE Backlash 2025.

9. Tonga Loa

WWE Bloodline member Tonga Loa

After picking up an injury during the Survivor Series: WarGames match in November, Tonga Loa has been out of action.

With Tama Tonga also now out of action – written off of television after an attack by LA Knight – it would seem reasonable that Tonga Loa could make an appearance at Backlash 2025.

Jacob Fatu will be putting the United States Championship on the line against LA Knight, Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre in a four-way match.

Both Solo Sikoa and Tonga Loa could certainly elect to make an impact on this match, either helping Fatu or costing him his first WWE title.
