We are now experiencing a whole new era in the WWE. Following last month's epic two-night event "Lesslmania XL" and the recent WWE Draft, the long-lived wrestling promotion of the Paul "Triple H" Levesque era is in full swing.

Now that the roster has been shaken up enough and there is great potential for fresh and exciting rivalries and partnerships, the eyes of the WWE Universe are focused on WWE Backlash, which will take place on May 4, 2024, at the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France.

With the first show of the "New Year" or "New Season," WWE continues its promise to make the show more global than ever. Over the past year, Raw and SmackDown competitors have already competed in premium live events in Australia, Canada, India, Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. And with the excitement of the 40th anniversary "Showcase of the Immortals" in Philadelphia, WWE will broadcast live from the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Palace of Versailles in its home country for the first time ever.

Obviously, WWE will pull out all the stops for this highly anticipated show this weekend. Of the five matches announced as of this writing, four are major title matches, including Cody Rhodes' first defense since finishing the storyline and winning the uncontested WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. Of course, don't miss such an opportunity, so keep reading to see when and where you can watch WWE Backlash 2024.

While Peacock is available nationwide and the WWE Network is still the standard around the world (although that is changing), the live stream of WWE Backlash 2024 can be a bit confusing. If you can't watch on your regular service, you may want to check your VPN.

This software allows your device to appear to be back in your home country no matter where you are in the world. This makes it ideal for wrestling fans who are away on vacation or business trips. Our favorite is NordVPN. Best on the Market:

At Lesslmania XL, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton faced off against Logan Paul in a triple threat match for the WWE United States Championship. The Prize Fighter and Apex Predator showed respect for each other before and during the match. Even after Showcase of the Immortals ended, the respect remained between the two gray-haired warriors. And that is a godsend for Owens, who continues to have problems with the Bloodline. But this is not the same Bloodline that Owens has fought so many times over the past few years. Instead, the tribal heir has stepped up to a leadership role, and it appears that Solo Sikore is now in charge. He even has the assistance of Tama Tonga, Haku's son and a prominent member of New Japan Pro Wrestling's Bullet Club, standing by his side along with Paul Heyman. This is clearly not the Sikore we have seen in the past year. Like his uncle Umaga, he has always been explosive and brutal, but he doesn't have the win-loss record of Umaga, a multiple-time champion. Sicoa and Tonga have bloodied and ravaged Owens and Jimmy Uso in recent weeks. Orton and Owens are formidable opponents, but in this all-new bloodbath, these veterans may be a match. Plus, this will be Solo's first official match in WWE, and the MFT is probably determined to make a statement. What better way to usher in a new era of the Bloodline than with a decisive victory over two of the biggest superstars in WWE history. And if the victory is not decisive, there is a good chance that Solo and Tama will enlist the help of another family member." Samoan Werewolf "Jacob Fatu recently signed with WWE and is rumored to be joining a family that includes Roman Reigns and The Rock.

Bloodline is not the only one evolving in WWE. Since winning the WWE Women's Championship from a former staffer at Lessonmania, Bayley has been at the top of the world and the SmackDown Women's Division. But in such a stacked locker room, many rivals have lined up to take aim at the target on the former Damage CTRL leader's back. And now that she is flying solo, that may prove to be a problem when lucrative upstart Tiffany Stratton decides to cut a line to the top of the blue brand. But in addition to Bailey, former champion Naomi is poised to create some roadblocks for Buff Barbie on her path to superstar status. It has clearly been tiffy time since Stratton stepped foot in a WWE ring just three or so years ago, but the former gymnast may have bitten off more than she can chew this time around. She has, but Bailey and Naomi are no slouches either. Tiffany will be world champion one day, but that day will not be when WWE rolls through France this weekend. In fact, it will take more than a triple threat match to take the title from Bailey. Role Models finally fought tooth and nail to stand up from the other four horsewomen in NXT. And she overcame the deception and betrayal of Dakota Kai, IYO SKY, Kairi Sane, and Asuka. Buoyed by the momentum of her victory at Lessonmania, this could be a career-defining beginning for Bailey.

Finally, another champion who is determined to retain his title is Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare finally broke Romain Reigns' record-setting reign as the uncontested WWE Universal Champion and has a career-defining moment, capturing the belt that his entire family has avoided throughout his wrestling career. But now that the Tribal Chief has disappeared (for now), Rhodes has a new challenger in his sights. And it is an opponent the AEW co-founder has never faced before. He will face the legendary AJ Styles. Both men have had parallel careers. Each became a main event player outside of WWE; two of the four men to hold both the WWE and NWA titles. And both played fairly significant roles in the Bullet Club during their tenures in NJPW and Ring of Honor. But since Styles signed with WWE just before Rhodes left for Japan, the two were like a night boat when they were indie wrestlers. Now, the two will meet in a dream match over the next few years. The Phenomenal One has recently spoken of retirement, but he is in the best shape of his career. As a first challenger, Rhodes was really tough. But his unparalleled determination is what made him go from undesirable to undeniable. Like Bailey, Cody will not go down without a fight. Fortunately, AJ still has plenty left in the tank. This match is a likely candidate for match of the year, but when the dust settles, it's a mountain.
