WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has addressed the insane crowd reactions in Lyon, France, ahead of the Backlash premium live event.
With Backlash 2024 emanating from the LDLC Arena in Lyon, France on Saturday (May 4), WWE held a kickoff press conference, as well as an episode of SmackDown on the Friday.
The crowd was super loud at both events, with some fans receiving noise warnings on their smartwatches while attending WWE’s tapings.
Triple H has now commented on the crowd present for SmackDown, calling France’s WWE fans “ravenous” in a video shared to Twitter.
Looking forward to hearing fans at Backlash, Triple H said:
“We just needed to be in France and the fanbase here is just ravenous for it. It took us a little bit (of time) but here we are. Last night was an example at SmackDown of, you know, when you pack that many people into a building like this, you can tell it’s going to be loud.
“People are getting alerts on their phones and watches telling them that the decibel level is too high and that they risk permanent hearing damage. That’s a good sign for us and I would imagine if they were excited last night, tonight for Backlash should be just off the charts good.
“I think they’re going to bring every bit of that excitement, they’re going to bring energy, they’re going to bring their chants, they’re going to bring their songs, they’re going to bring all of it. It’s going to be glorious.
