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.

Randy Orton has made the undisputed WWE champion look like a chump every week. Friday's episode of SmackDown was no different. Orton slithered into striking range and laid out John Cena with one more RKO before their match at Backlash.
