The aftermath of the recent WWE event in Lyon, France, saw 41-year-old Jey Uso at the center of attention despite his loss, which stirred controversy among fans. Despite a heroic effort from Jey, the World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest, narrowly retained his title at the LDLC Arena in Lyon. Interferences from JD McDonagh and Finn Bálor added drama to the match, with Priest ultimately walking away with the championship belt intact.
Following the intense showdown, Damian Priest took to Instagram to emphasize his championship reign, sharing his thoughts with fans using the hashtag “#ElCampéon.” The audience in Lyon made their preferences crystal clear, expressing disappointment as Priest secured the win. However, Priest’s title victory only began recently at WrestleMania XL after patiently waiting to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, making his current reign a compelling narrative.

Moreover, the events at WWE Backlash France hinted at potential developments in the storyline, possibly paving the way for a face-turn for Damian Priest. Questions arose about the unity of The Judgment Day, especially after Priest’s outburst post-match, indicating underlying tensions within the group. The absence of Rhea Ripley, who relinquished the Women’s World Championship due to injury, added to the group’s instability, with Jey Uso highlighting Priest’s temporary leadership role in The Judgment Day.
As the wrestling world speculates on the future of these WWE superstars, the aftermath of Backlash France leaves fans eager to witness the unfolding drama and potential shifts in alliances within the ring.
