Potential Spoiler On Surprise Return At WWE Backlash

One of WWE's top stars could be making their return to TV at Saturday's Backlash pay-per-view/premium live event.

WWE will present Backlash from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, with the show set to be headlined by Randy Orton challenging John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship in Orton's hometown.

A WrestleMania 41 feud could be rekindled at Backlash, though. PWInsider has reported there has been at least one pitch for Cody Rhodes to make a surprise return at Backlash. PWInsider did note, however, they "haven't heard 100% that's the direction."

Cody Rhodes has been absent from WWE TV since dropping the Undisputed WWE Title to John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 41, with Rhodes losing to Cena after refusing to hit his opponent with the Undisputed WWE Championship which led to a low blow and title belt shot to the head from Cena.

There have been hints that Rhodes will be returning soon as he is currently advertised to appear on the May 16 edition of Friday Night SmackDown from the Greensboro Coliseum.

The current WWE Backlash card is as follows:

• John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton - Undisputed WWE Championship
• Jacob Fatu (c) vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest vs. LA Knight - WWE United States Championship
• Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. Penta - WWE Intercontinental Championship
• Lyra Valkyria (c) vs. Becky Lynch - WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship
• Gunther vs. Pat McAfee
