The largest wrestling federation in the world, WWE, arrived for the first time in France at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Décines for two event evenings.
Since last night and this Saturday evening, the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Décines has been hosting the first two shows of WWE, the world-famous American wrestling company, broadcast from France. Around 25,000 to 30,000 people are expected at the LDLC Arena, which offers 16,000 seats during a concert configuration and around 12,000 during Asvel basketball matches. And everything is sold out, according to the organizers, despite prices between 118 and… 2,500 euros. “It’s unimaginable”entrusted to BMFTV.comChristophe Agius, one of the two French commentators in WWE for 24 years. “Two or three years ago we could only slowly dream. It is the end of a long wait, which we actually thought impossible, which has arrived in Lyon. Obviously we have been working with WWE for years to get them to come to France.” Backlash France is the first PLE organized by the company based in Stamford, Connecticut in the United States, since Wrestlemania 40. Backlash will be broadcast live Saturday evening at 7 p.m. on the WWE Network and in rebroadcast Tuesday May 7 at 8:55 p.m. on AB1 .
“The officials and superstars were completely crazy about the atmosphere at home during the non-broadcast shows like in Paris. If Lyon goes well, and I have no doubt about it, it will obviously open doors. We can always dream of seeing WWE make this thing perpetuate.”, hopes Christophe Agius. The “biggest event of all time” for WWE brought together more than 145,000 people on April 6 and 7 at the Lincoln Financial Field stadium in Philadelphia.
