The fifth overall bout & the fourth title match, has been confirmed for the annual WWE Backlash 2025 premium live event set for this weekend. On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, airing from the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska, it was announced that the men’s Intercontinental Championship will be on the line at the PLE.
The reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion, Dominik Mysterio will defend his title against Penta at WWE Backlash 2025, this Saturday night in St. Louis. The new match was announced during Raw’s broadcast in a backstage segment where AJ Styles crashed the party for Dom and his Judgment Day cohorts.
Following the WWE Backlash 2025 match confirmation, Styles showed up in Judgment Day’s locker room and told Dirty Dom that he was also coming for the IC Title. Dom told Finn Balor to take care of AJ since they have a history of their own in and out of the WWE. Finn wasn’t happy with this theory at first, but then said that he was just kidding and said that he’ll handle Styles.

On last night’s Raw, Penta defeated McDonagh to set up the title bout at WWE Backlash 2025 which will mark the second title defense for Dom in his current reign.
