Tonight, Orton stood tall for the third time after yet another RKO on the champion, setting the stage for "The Viper's" homecoming in St. Louis tomorrow. This closing segment of "WWE SmackDown" was mainly just a Cena promo — he told the audience our childhoods will die at Backlash. Also, a fan threw a Michelob Ultra bottle at him.

Cargill grabbed a mic and told The Queen to get to the back of the line. After a break, Jax made her way to the ring. This was two of WWE's strongest women competing in a singles match, so there was some pressure on them to make it feel big.

John Cena appeared on the final SmackDown before Backlash and cut a promo ahead of his Undisputed WWE Championship match against Randy Orton. The segment ended with a masked wrestler entering the ring and attempting to hit Cena with an RKO.
