Cody Rhodes has been notably absent from WWE since WrestleMania 41. The American Nightmare lost the title to John Cena at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and Rhodes has not been seen on TV since.

An Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and Randy Orton secures top billing. Ever since Cena captured the gold from Cody Rhodes at "WrestleMania 41," Orton has been haunting his longtime nemesis. Cena has been on the receiving end of three RKOs in the lead-up to "Backlash," and he'll look to avoid Orton's legendary move on Saturday.

The former IWGP United States champion and group member alongside Jay White and Austin and Colton Gunn has been sidelined since last November, when he suffered a broken fibula during the Continental Classic tournament.
