The go-home "WWE SmackDown" before SummerSlam 2025 warmed up Newark with quite a surprise. Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena opened the night to set the table for his big rematch against Cody Rhodes, but instead of the Cena we've seen for most of 2025, he reverted to his iconic "Super Cena" ways.

WWE Backlash is returning with the 2025 event being held in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Check out the full match card, including John Cena vs Cody Rhodes.
