WWE Backlash is set to happen on May 4, 2024. The event will have certain superstars such as Cody Rhodes, Damian Priest and Bayley defending their titles against the challengers. The event will also see a big tag team match between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens vs. Solo Sikoa and ‘MFT’ Tama Tonga.

The match would be a spectacle to behold, and with Lesnar’s brute strength facing off against Rhodes’ cunning strategy in a showdown for the ages, it would be a revenged for Brock too, as he had lost against Cody last year.

Their showdown would be a blockbuster event, drawing fans from around the world to witness the collision of two titans in the ring.
