It's a brand new, and pretty cool looking arena. I'm interested to see what kind of set up the go for with it.

I think the start time is 1pm, so much easier to watch live than the Elimination Chamber.
Woke up for Tiffy match, back to sleep for me afterwards.

If this were still a VKM run WWE. We'd probably have a Citroen 2CV and a massive model of the Eiffel Tower with French Flags by the Titantron to remind us where we are. someones abandoned animal crossing island Cody vs. Tom Nook for Backlash main event.

Jey Uso going from the worst match at Mania to a title match is some real nepo shit Honestly Jey has worked like crazy the last few years on his whole presentation & doesn’t look out of place as a top singles star. I think he deserves this.

I think he deserves this. I think your should be good at singles matches before you get world title shots. He isn’t. And he’s coming off a giant turd.

That match at 'mania wasn't ever going to be good given just how far below the level of Jey Jimmmy is, and that one is Main Event while the other is 4th in the pecking order of The Bloodline and is the groups resident goober. Jey has had good singles matches, and there is no reason to doubt that Jey and Damian will have a good match on PPV given that Priest isn't the Bitch of Judgement Day and is a far better worker than Jimmmy.

When you put it that way it's even worse, because the bitch of Judgment Day is JD McDontGoogleMe, and even he would have a far better match with Jey than Jimmy did at WM. That's how low on the totem Jim Uso is.

It's a brand new, and pretty cool looking arena. I'm interested to see what kind of set up the go for with it. They appear to be going with the now-traditional minimalist set design for Backlash, as seen in the seating chart above. That said, the LDLC Arena does have a unique quirk, unlike practically every arena in the States, in that it has this massive, blank wall on one side of the arena, as seen in the picture below: I think they could have a lot of fun with that blank wall, installing all kinds of LED screens and lights to really make the arena, set, and stage look amazing.

Yeah it reminds me a little of the arena used for In Your House: Revenge of the Taker. That had a similar flat wall on the one side, and they used just the garage part of the house set. I think they could do a lot with that though.

After Puerto Rico got Carlito and Savio Vega, this show should really get French sympathizer Rob Conway.

That arena in France reminds me of the arena in Baltimore which I think has a similar shape in that it has one end that’s an odd shape.

Well after Smackdown its safe to assume that we are getting Bayley/Iyo (or Tiffany) and Kabuki Warriors vs Jade/Bianca as well. Jade and Bianca did a backstage promo as a digital exclusive, declaring their intentions to go after the women's tag titles.

Going to try and guess the Card, possible matches anyway:
Cody v AJ Styles (or AJ & LA Knight in a triple threat)
Priest v Jey Uso (unless they do this match before the show then I would assume Drew is next but I’d save that for Clash)
Bayley v Iyo Rhea v Liv (v Becky unless she’s taking time off with Seth?) Truth & Miz v Dom & Balor (or JD) Kabuki Warriors v Bianca & Jade KO & Orton v A Town Down Under Naomi v Tiff Jey Uso v Solo Sikoa (or Tama Tonga) (if Jey isn’t getting his title match here) Rey v Escobar (or Carlito if they do the turn soon) Sami v Gable v Gunther
Don’t see Logan Paul being on this card. If I had to pick a challenger maybe Ricochet but it’s been done. Obviously big matches in the works like Cody v Rock, Rock v Roman & Seth v Roman I don’t see happening for months.

I'd like it if that was the card!
That's a long card for the Paul Leveseque era. Some of those matches will probably be on RAW/Smackdown. I doubt we will get both Women's titles defended. I don't think we will ever get a Bayley vs IO PLE rematch either. Bayley is going against Naomi, and if IO and Rhea's reigns are any example, she won't defend that title again for while. IO was champ for 246 days with only 7 defenses.

Sometimes people with similar styles just don’t click.

Sometimes people with similar styles just don’t click. Also Jey is Main Event Jey Uso, while Jimmmy was 4th on the Bloodline Totem Pole untill last week. The crowd weren't into that match at all which was anoteh reason it stank the joint out.

Pretty Deadly should defend...not the tag team titles --- though that would be astounding --- but the honor of England itself, against those French impostors BATÉ and DUNNÉ. New Catch Republic? Bah. More like the "French Revolution" to me. Noooooo boy.
