The new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is spotlighted on WWE's poster for Backlash 2024.

With WrestleMania 40 now over, the attention turns to WWE's next premium live event. Backlash is taking place from Lyon, France on Saturday, May 4. Streaming live on Peacock, it has a special start time of 1 p.m. Eastern in the United States.

Paul "Triple H" Levesque revealed the poster for the event on social media today. It features new champion Cody Rhodes with his title belt:

Rhodes won the title from Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40 night two, ending Reigns' 1,316-day run as champion.

Backlash is being held at LDLC Arena in Lyon. It's the first time France has ever hosted a WWE PPV/PLE.

No matches have been made official for the show yet, but it looks like Damian Priest will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso. The main event of the post-WrestleMania episode of Raw saw Uso win a fatal four-way match to become the number one contender to Priest's title.

In 2023, Backlash took place from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
