John Cena Confirmed For Upcoming WWE PLE

The new Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena, has been confirmed for an upcoming Premium Live Event in May 2025.

With a promise to “ruin wrestling” on the April 21 episode of WWE Raw, John Cena enters the post-WrestleMania 41 season having defeated Cody Rhodes for the title.

Triple H has now revealed when that John Cena will be in action at the next WWE Premium Live Event in May.

Speaking at the WrestleMania 41 Post-Show, Triple H confirmed Cena’s involvement at WWE Backlash, saying:

“Before we even get to that (Money in the Bank), Backlash. May 10th. St. Louis. You get to see the new champ there, in John Cena.

“That will be an incredible night as well.”

WWE Money in the Bank was announced for June 7, 2025, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

Taking place around a mile away on the same day will be NXT Worlds Collide, the crossover show with WWE’s recent acquisition, the Lucha Libre promotion AAA.

Matches are yet to be announced for WWE Backlash, although Randy Orton features prominently on the show poster.

As noted in that report, Backlash will be held in Orton’s hometown of St Louis, Missouri, and he’s been featured in a lot of the promotion for the event thus far.
