Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown present the WWE Backlash 2024 premium live event (PLE) this weekend - the first PLE since WrestleMania 40, which was held last month as a two-night event.

The 19th edition of the Backlash PLE will be the first WWE PLE held in France, and the second Backlash event held outside North America after the promotion hosted the special event for the second time outside US last year in Puerto Rico.

The PLE will feature four title matches and one fight based on recent rivalries. The Undisputed Universal Championship, World Heavyweight Championship and the Women's Tag titles will be defended, while the WWE Women's Champioship will also be on the line in a triple-threat match.

Cody Rhodes created shockwaves at WrestleMania XL defeating the 'Tribal Chief' Roman Reigns. Hence 'finishing his story' and became the Undisputed WWE Champion. After defeating Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown, The 'American Nightmare' will enter this PLE to defend his coveted title against 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles.

Styles earned the opportunity by defeating Rey Mysterio & Kevin Owens in the 1st Round. He then defeated LA Knight in the final of a mini-tournament to set up this weekend's title opportunity. 

Elsewhere, the newly crowned WWE Women's Champion Bayley has found herself in a tough position as her title will be on the line in a Triple Threat match with both Naomi and Tiffany Stratton setting their sights to claim the title.

After their thumping win over 'Damage CTRL' at 'The Show of the Shows,' the dangerous duo of Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill got their rightful claim to challenge The Kabuki Warriors for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WWE Backlash France as announced by Nick Aldis last week

Meanwhile, Kevin Owens went all guns blazing and attacked Solo Sikoa backstage on last week's SmackDown. After being outnumbered by The Bloodline, he received the unlikeliest of assists from 'The Viper' Randy Orton.

Following the assist, the match was made official for Backlash. Kevin Owens & Randy Orton will now take on Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga of The Bloodline in a tag team match. Here is all you need to know about WWE Backlash 2024:
