That said, some top stars, who had a major match at ‘Mania, are noticeably not on the card for Backlash. The company is seemingly unsure of how to book these several individuals. In this listicle, we will look at five superstars WWE has no idea what to do with.

#5. Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan won the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble Match and went on to defeat Stephanie Vaquer to become the Women’s World Champion at WrestleMania 42. After The Show of Shows, it appeared that The Dark Angel wasn’t done with the title, as she confronted Morgan on the following episode of RAW.

However, Vaquer was reportedly dealing with a real-life injury, and she was written off television the following week after The Judgment Day attacked her backstage. With La Primera out of the picture, The Miracle Kid has become directionless.

Morgan is tied up in the ongoing Judgment Day drama and the group’s feud with Finn Balor. She has no challenger lined up for the Women’s World Title, which is surprising, given that she is one of the top stars of the company. WWE is seemingly unsure of how to book Liv Morgan’s reign as champion.

#4. LA Knight

LA Knight teamed up with The Usos to defeat Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed at WrestleMania 42. This seemingly concluded his long-running feud with The Vision. The Megastar set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship and teased a feud with Gunther, who had the same intentions.

However, The Ring General surprisingly moved to SmackDown and targeted the Undisputed WWE Championship, taking out Cody Rhodes last week with a sleeper hold. The creative team has seemingly scrapped a potential feud between Gunther and Knight on RAW.

This leaves The Megastar with no program to work with. He was absent from the go-home episode of RAW before Backlash. This isn’t anything new, but the company has no idea what to do with LA Knight.

#3. Jade Cargill

Jade Cargill dropped the WWE Women’s Championship to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 42 and hasn’t been seen on television since. The SmackDown women’s division has been taken over by Fatal Influence, and there has been very little mention of The Storm.

The Eradicator has formed a temporary alliance with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss to counter Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid. Jade Cargill remains a non-factor on the blue brand as of now, as it seems like the creative team has no plans for her.

It is worth noting that stars usually take some time off after dropping a world title, which could be the case with Cargill.

#2. WWE legend Randy Orton

Randy Orton came close to winning his 15th world title at WrestleMania 42, but ultimately fell short against Cody Rhodes. The two men put on a grueling match, and both of them left with multiple injuries. The Viper had issues with his back before the bout even began, and it only became worse after that.

Orton has not been seen on television since the Las Vegas PLE, which is surprising, considering that he attacked Rhodes after the match and took him out with a punt kick. Meanwhile, The American Nightmare also sustained numerous injuries, but he kept appearing on television and has also been cleared to compete.

Rhodes now has a new challenger for the Undisputed WWE Chmapionship in the form of Gunther, leaving his feud with Orton on the back burner.

#1. Oba Femi

Oba Femi scored a career-defining victory at WrestleMania 42, defeating and subsequently retiring Brock Lesnar. However, WWE has arguably failed to capitalize on The Ruler’s momentum. Instead of putting him in another high-profile program, Femi has started hosting open challenges on RAW.

The Nigerian star hasn’t been booked for Backlash either. Femi defeated Otis on this week’s RAW in his first open challenge. Femi facing random opponents suggests that WWE has no concrete plans for The Ruler as of now.

While it is a good way to keep Femi on television every week, it is not meaningful unless one of the open challenges turns into a proper feud. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Oba Femi.
