The 2024 WWE Backlash: France pay-per-view event has recorded the largest gate of any arena show in the company’s history.
WWE announced the news on Saturday while Backlash was underway at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu.
It is to be noted that last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown in France broke the record for the highest-grossing SmackDown of all time, surpassing the previous record set by the WrestleMania 40 go-home episode of SmackDown in Philadelphia, PA.
Triple H tweeted, “Tonight’s event in Lyon, France is officially the highest-grossing #SmackDown of all time, breaking a record set just 4 weeks ago in Philly ahead of #WrestleMania XL. Can’t wait to see what the @WWEUniverse brings to #WWEBacklash tomorrow, streaming live at 1pm ET @peacock”
