As WWE gears up for its next thrilling Premium Live Event, WWE Backlash France, anticipation is reaching fever pitch. The spectacular event is set to take place on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, nestled within the dynamic Lyon Metropolis of France, fans can expect an unforgettable evening of top-tier wrestling action.
With the stage primed for WWE’s triumphant presence in France, the show features a stacked line-up of matches that are ready to mesmerize the audience in Lyon. Here are the predictions for each match set in stone for WWE Backlash France:
1. Cody Rhodes retains his title
The new era of WWE ushered with Cody Rhodes’ triumph over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion. With Cody’s reign slowly gaining momentum and a dream match set in stone against AJ Styles for WWE Backlash, the fans can expect not to see a title change so fast with Rhodes retaining his title in a blockbuster encounter against Styles.
2. It’s Officially Tiffy Time
A triple threat match for the WWE Women’s championship pitting the champion Bayley against the challengers, Naomi and Tiffany Stratton is scheduled to take place at the event. Therefore, WWE Backlash France could set the tone for ‘Tiffy Time’ with Tiffany picking up the upset and ascending to the main event level by winning the Women’s title against two top stars.
3. Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair become new tag team champions
Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair are not only perceived as two of the biggest female wrestling stars but a formidable duo, ever since they started tagging along around the WrestleMania 40 season. Therefore, their match against Kairi Sane and Asuka for the WWE Women’s tag team titles could see the crowning moment of Cargill and Belair as new and dominant champions to bring more focus on the tag team titles.
4. The Bloodline decimates Randy Orton & Kevin Owens
With Roman Reigns out of the picture, the new Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga could have a chance to make a huge impact. This would come at the expense of top stars like Randy Orton and Kevin Owens with Sikoa and Tonga defeating them, possibly with the assistance of a new member in Jacob Fatu, and secure the win at WWE Backlash.
5. Damian Priest uses Judgment Day to preserve his title
The reign of Damian Priest as the World Heavyweight Champion would possibly not have met its end so soon at the hands of Jey Uso. With the help of his Judgment cohorts, they could stack the numbers game against Uso and help Priest make his first successful title defense.
