WWE Backlash is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event held annually by WWE, typically in the month of May. The event was first held in 1999 and has been held every year since then, making it one of WWE’s longest-running pay-per-view events.
WWE Backlash 2025 will be the 26th event in the Backlash chronology and is scheduled to be held on May 4, 2025, at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island.
Backlash 2025 refers to a hypothetical backlash against technological advancements and their perceived negative consequences, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. The term gained traction in the tech industry and media as a potential inflection point where societal concerns about the impact of technology on employment, privacy, and human agency could reach a boiling point.
The potential backlash stems from concerns that widespread AI adoption could lead to job displacement, exacerbate inequality, and erode human skills and creativity. Fears of AI’s impact on privacy and civil liberties, as well as its potential to perpetuate biases and discrimination, have also contributed to the backlash narrative.
