WWE Backlash is one of the biggest wrestling events produced and hosted by WWE. Last year, the event even saw Bad Bunny trade the stage for the wrestling ring in a match against Damian Priest at 2023 WWE Backlash, which took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Now, for the first time ever, the wrestling event will head overseas to Lyon, France where Rhodes vs. Styles will take place. The main event is expected to air starting at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday (May 4).
Last-minute tickets are still available to buy online through Ticketmaster and StubHub with prices starting at around $72 a ticket. If you can’t find any travel deals to attend the wrestling event in person, then you can still stream WWE Backlash online at home through Peacock.
Rhodes vs. Styles will be streaming exclusively through Peacock, which means you’ll need a subscription in order to watch the matches online. If you already have a Peacock subscription, then you can watch the WWE Backlash matches for free when you log into your account.

Unlike some WWE events, which require a pay-per-view stream, the 2024 WWE Backlash event isn’t a PPV match this time. However, it is being aired only on Peacock.
