For his first PLE title defense, there was a tournament to determine the next title challenger, and it provided quite the opponent.<\/p>\n<p>After defeating <strong>LA Knight<\/strong> in the final of the eliminator tournament, <strong>AJ Styles<\/strong> now finds himself in a position to pull a major upset. Having just won the title, many are expecting Rhodes&#8217; reign to be a long and fruitful one but Styles hopes to be the one to derail those plans.<\/p>\n<p>The Universal Championship was established in 2016, which was the same year that Styles joined the WWE. Since then, the title has evaded him one way or another, and he truly feels that this could be the time that he gets the gold. For Rhodes, this is the opportunity for him to make a statement to the entire roster. Regardless of the result, this is a match that could shift the status quo within the WWE in a major way.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Jey Uso Challenges Damian Priest For World Heavyweight Championship<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jey Uso Superkicks Damian Priest after JD McDonagh mistake: Raw highlights, April 22, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TZ3E5QqQhK4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><strong>Jey Uso<\/strong> was the number one draft pick for <em><strong>Raw<\/strong><\/em> this year, and he has certainly proven his worth over the time he has been assigned to the brand. Uso donned himself &#8216;Main Event&#8217; and he has lived up to that mantle and now, he looks to adorn himself with gold to prove it. But when it comes to opportunity, there is none that knows about that more than current titleholder <strong>Damian Priest<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\">Priest also scored big at <em>WrestleMania<\/em> when he traded his &#8216;Se\u00f1or Money in the Bank&#8217; title for &#8216;Se\u00f1or World Heavyweight Champion&#8217;. At <em>Backlash France<\/em>, Priest will get the chance to defend his title and prove himself as a champion.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\">This is Priest&#8217;s first major singles title but he will be going up against one of the most popular acts within the <em>WWE<\/em> &#8211; one that is riding a wave of momentum. This will be a battle of who can outwit the other to ultimately get the gold.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Bayley Defends Championship In High-Stakes Triple Threat<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton \u2013 No. 1 Contender\u2019s Match: SmackDown highlights, April 26, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_DprlsDjeC4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Bayley<\/strong> was amongst the superstars that got crowned champions at <em>WrestleMania XL<\/em>. Bayley wanted to grant her longtime friend <strong>Naomi<\/strong> the chance to challenge for the gold but, feeling left out, <strong>Tiffany Stratton<\/strong> involved herself in the situation. This has led to a three-way rivalry that can only be fairly resolved by having all three compete in a match together.<\/p>\n<p>One-on-one action has only riled up the rivalry but now, with all three in the ring, they will have to outsmart two others to get to the championship. This will be quite the match for fans to tune into.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> for more on WWE Backlash France and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
