WWE Backlash France 5/4/24

Crowd needs to tone it down several notches.

The energy is great but we don't need 3D surround sound for literally every punch and action.

Kinda annoying. There's specific points. This isn't soccer where you have to sing for 90 minutes.

No idea why they changed AJ's song but it's absolutely atrocious and makes me not give one **** about him.

Thought the entire PPV was really good. Loved the crowd, wish us here in the states were as passionate about sports/wrestling etc. as these crowds are in other countries. Don't have to be over the top like these last two nights, but comparing crowds we suck in the states LOL.

Probably cause he's a heel, I don't really know, but it's starting to grow on me. I didn't like it at first either, but listening to the whole thing on Spotify has swayed me.

Lots of head shots in that opening match.

I'm sure a head shot with those garbage cans are easier to take than a chair, but surprised they even did head shots regardless. That wasn't a "vinceism", that was a safety reason those shots were banned.

A new Bloodline member! That's Camacho!? How'd they mess him up so badly the first time around.

I just started the show and damn the crowd is already insane. Singing Orton's theme song word for word was absolutely incredible.

- That entire sequence before the Tag match to Aldis coming out and making it a street fight was so good. It was like WWE told them to do what Bad Bunny & Priest did last year but in a Tag Team Match. Certainly expected Jacob Fatu to debut but Tonga's brother was a nice surprise. Fun fact, last time Tanga Loa was in WWE, he had a different name.... Camacho.

- Bayley needs a new theme.... enough has been said about Def Rebel lately so I won't pile on but it just doesn't fit. Good match, no complaints. Tiffany looked good in defeat, she's definitely winning MITB or the Rumble in 2025.

- Nice tease with Jey getting ready for his match when Solo and the Bloodline walk by him. The look on Heyman's face says a lot without saying any words. Great match here, Priest is showing why they put the title on him and he's been on a role since his match with Bad Bunny at Backlash last year. Finn vs Damian when?

- When I saw the card only 5 matches, I thought maybe they could have added 1 or 2 more. Then watching the Women's Tag Title match and I'm reminded why this works so well. The Women have time to get their stuff in and tell a story, opposed to having limited time or some time getting cut. So far... every match has killed it. Congrats to Bianca & Jade.

- Main Event already? Damn. The fans singing Cody's song even after the song is over was amazing. Good match between the two, thinking we'll get a rematch at King/Queen of The Ring perhaps?

Orton theme singing was my favorite part of the crowd.

The Styles chant was probably 2nd but hearing it 75-95 times was less thrilling.
