With adrenaline-pumping matches and rivalries reaching their boiling points, WWE Backlash 2024 is poised to be an electrifying spectacle that fans won't want to miss. For the first time ever, WWE is holding a premium live event in France on Saturday in the form of Backlash. Saturday will mark the first PLE since WrestleMania 40, and it will see both undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and world heavyweight champion Damian Priest make their first title defenses since becoming champions on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Also, Bayley will have the first PLE defense of her WWE women's title in a Triple Threat match, while Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill will look to get the best of Damage CTRL again—this time with championship gold on the line. In the report, it's noted that John Cena and Charlotte Flair have arrived in France. It's mentioned that there is no word on if the two are simply visiting backstage or if they will be featured on-air at WWE Backlash 2024. Two years after returning to WWE, Cody Rhodes finally finished his story at WrestleMania 40 by beating Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE Championship in the main event, and ending The Tribal Chief's historic run in the process. PWInsider Elite reports that top stars John Cena and Charlotte Flair have been spotted in France ahead of Backlash. While there is no confirmation that either will be appearing on the PLE Saturday, Cena and Flair's presence in France suggests the two are likely to be involved with the event in some form. A Cena appearance would be par the course for the 16-time World Champion, who has made it a habit of making surprise cameos at WWE's international events, including unexpectedly showing up at WWE Money in the Bank in the UK last July. Cena was most recently seen last month at WrestleMania, when he came to the aid of Rhodes during his match with Roman Reigns, ultimately helping Rhodes thwart the Bloodline to defeat Reigns and capture the Undisputed Universal Title. As for Flair, a Backlash appearance would be her first time in a WWE ring since December, when she suffered a knee injury during a match with Asuka. Though originally expected to be out at least nine months, Flair has rehabbed aggressively since having surgery in early January and has remarked in the past that she was "ahead of schedule" regarding her recovery time.
