We have finally arrived at the day of Backlashthe first historic Premium Live Event of WWE in France. The evening in Lyon will be characterized by a card built around the big changes of WrestleMania 40, with several new champions who will defend their belts.
The most anticipated match is probably the first WWE title defense match by Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare will have to face an expert and tough opponent like AJ Styleswho wants to make up for the disappointment of WrestleMania with a new reign as world champion. Also Damian Priest he will defend the world title for the first time and against him there will be a highly acclaimed Jey Uso who could really surprise everyone.
Also Bayley she will have to defend the title, her friend will be against her Naomi but also the very fast one Tiffany Stratton, which convinced critics and audiences with its first months on the main roster and which is now awaiting another important exam. On the subject of women’s titles there will be an interesting match for the tag team titles, with the Kabuki Warriors they already seem doomed against Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, even if surprises are around the corner and everyone expects sooner or later a challenge between the two champions of the challenging team.
The card ends with the only non-titled match, the one between the new team Bloodlines Of Tama Tonga and Solo Sikoa against two sacred monsters like Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. A rivalry between old and new that perhaps wasn’t written a bit quickly but which has already aroused a lot of interest.
