Early Betting Odds Reveal Surprising Outcomes for WWE Backlash 2025

WWE Backlash 2025 is set for Saturday, May 10, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, and early betting odds from BetOnline.ag are giving fans a glimpse at who the oddsmakers expect to walk away victorious.

In the Undisputed WWE Championship match, John Cena is listed as a massive -5000 favorite to retain against hometown challenger Randy Orton, who sits at +1200. With odds that steep, Cena is practically a lock to hold onto his title, according to the sportsbooks.

Jacob Fatu is also heavily favored to retain his WWE United States Championship in a Fatal Four-Way against Drew McIntyre (+600), LA Knight (+900), and Damian Priest (+1200). Fatu’s odds are set at -5000, making him another strong bet to keep his title heading into the summer.

Dominik Mysterio heads into Backlash with a -1000 line to keep his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Penta (+550). The odds imply a 90.9% chance of Mysterio walking out as champion.

Becky Lynch is positioned as a -500 favorite to dethrone Lyra Valkyria (+300) for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. If Lynch captures the gold, it would mark her first reign with the title.

In a non-title singles match, GUNTHER is a heavy favorite at -1500 to defeat Pat McAfee (+600). With GUNTHER coming off a dominant run, McAfee’s underdog status is no surprise to anyone familiar with WWE’s current landscape.

These odds can shift as Backlash draws closer, but right now, the oddsmakers are clearly backing the champions to retain.
