A WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) is heading to Lyon Metropolis for the first time for WWE Backlash France 2024. Since the formation of TKO in September 2023, WWE has prioritized global expansion. In 2024, Backlash France is the second PLE to be held outside the U.S., and it won’t be the last. Five of the next six WWE PLEs will take place outside the U.S.

Heading into Backlash, WWE is entering the “American Nightmare Era.” After finishing his story at WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes is now the Undisputed WWE Champion. A different era means a new crop of challengers for Rhodes. First up is AJ Styles, a former two-time WWE champion. Rhodes must bring his A-game if he wants to walk out of France as champion.

What’s new on Hulu in May 2024 and what’s leaving soon
Austin Butler lounges on a red couch in Elvis.

There are so many reality shows coming to Hulu in May that you could start to wonder if this was actually supposed to be the schedule for Max. Fortunately, the lineup of movies coming to Hulu in May is exceptionally strong, including Elvis, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Mask, Cast Away, Those Who Wish Me Dead, all of the Die Hard films, and more.

Because it premiered on April 30, FX's The Veil doesn't show up on this month's Hulu list, but it's bound to be one of the most popular shows of the month alongside Welcome to Wrexham season 3. There's also new episodes of first-run network series from ABC and Fox, including the season 2 premiere of Jeopardy! Masters on May 2.
