Cody Rhodes Featured as Champion in Upcoming PLE Poster


Summary

– WWE Backlash 2024 is scheduled for May 4 in Lyon, France, marking the first time a WWE PPV/PLE will be hosted in the country.

– Cody Rhodes, the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, is prominently featured on the event’s promotional poster.

– The event, streaming live on Peacock, will include a title defense by Damian Priest against Jey Uso, the newly minted number one contender.

The wrestling world shifts its focus to Lyon, France, as WWE prepares to host its Backlash 2024 event on Saturday, May 4. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time a WWE premium live event will occur on French soil. The event promises excitement and is set to begin at 1 p.m. Eastern time, catering to a global audience via Peacock.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque unveiled the official poster for Backlash, showcasing Cody Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Rhodes, who clinched the title from Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, ending Reigns’ impressive 1,316-day reign, is positioned as the face of this year’s Backlash, signaling his prominent status within WWE.

Anticipation is also building around the World Heavyweight Championship match. Damian Priest is expected to defend his title against Jey Uso, who earned the number one contender spot following a victory in a fatal four-way match on the post-WrestleMania episode of Raw. Last year’s Backlash was held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, making this year’s event in Lyon a historic occasion for WWE and its French fans.
