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.

3 hidden gems on Hulu you should watch this weekend (October 9-11)
These underrated movies on Hulu deliver beautiful animation, moving performances, and a magic show that makes you question identity.
Bill Nighy in Living (2022)

Hulu's library is stacked with several new releases, so some of the great films from years past tend to get buried. This weekend you can pick between a wordless animated movie that's heartbreaking, a British drama about a man confronting his own mortality, and a genre-defying, one-man show that somehow makes magic feel like therapy. Each of these picks earns every bit of its acclaim.

Bahrain GP 2026

Formula 1 is already loud enough to make a television shake, but Apple wants to make the experience even more immersive. Apple and Dolby are bringing Dolby Atmos audio to live Formula 1 coverage, starting with the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin later this month.

The upgrade is designed to make viewers feel closer to the action, with the roar of engines, squealing tyres and pit-lane activity getting a more immersive audio treatment. Apple is pairing the Atmos soundtrack with Dolby Vision, aiming to make its F1 coverage feel more like an event rather than something simply playing on a screen.
