Also with him was WWE World Champion Damian Priest, who retained his crown in a 4-way match against Jey Uso, Gunther and Chad Gable. Triumph for the Bologna audience, in a sold-out show with about 9,000 spectators who saw champions such as Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch and Naomi (who brought the Italian tricolor to the ring) in action.

Here is the match card of WWE Backlash France:

Undisputed WWE Championship – Cody Rhodes vs AJ Styles: è the first big hurdle for The American Nightmare after winning the title at WrestleMania XL, against Roman Reigns. The Phenomenal One, who defeated LA Knight to earn this chance, wants to return to the roof of the world and to do so he must beat an old friend like the’current champion.

WWE World Championship – Damian Priest vs. Jey Uso:   &growing; “Main Event” Jey Uso. The former Bloodline member è secured this chance by overcoming Drew McIntyre, partly thanks to the help of CM Punk. Now Jey è is one step closer to winning the title, but Damian Priest wants to defend what he won less than a month ago at WrestleMania.

Tag Team Match – Randy Orton & Kevin Owens vs Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga: with the absence of Roman Reigns new balance has been created in the Bloodline. Therefore, Solo Sikoa is becoming the leader and has included the very fearsome Tama Tonga in the group. It will be up to two veterans like Orton and Owens to stop these young upstarts.
