Reports are circulating among multiple sources that former WWE World Champion John Cena may likely miss SmackDown Live's first exclusive pay-per-view event, Backlash, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 11th in Richmond, Virginia.

The reason for this is because Cena is currently scheduled to compete at a WWE live event in Shanghai, China on September 10th. As of this report, there is no mention of Cena being advertised for anything involving Backlash.
