Advertised for the event are fan favorites such as Cody Rhodes,
Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley,
Randy Orton, Bianca Belair, Rey Mysterio, and Becky Lynch.
The presence of these wrestling icons ensures a mix of high-flying maneuvers, hard-hitting action, and captivating storytelling.
However, it's worth noting that the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion,

As the anticipation builds for both Backlash France and the Royal Rumble, WWE fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, surprising twists, and memorable moments. The LDLC Arena is poised to be the epicenter of thrilling encounters, and with the absence of Reigns from Backlash France, the landscape of the WWE Universal Championship picture remains intriguing and unpredictable.
