Bayley, known as The Role Model, entered Backlash fresh off her monumental victory at WrestleMania XL, where she dethroned IYO SKY to claim the WWE Women’s Championship. Her reign, however, was immediately tested by two formidable opponents. Naomi, a former SmackDown Women’s Champion, brought her signature athleticism and charisma, amplified by her “Glow” persona, which resonated deeply with the Lyon audience. Tiffany Stratton, the brash and acrobatic rising star, aimed to seize her first main roster title, leveraging her NXT pedigree and unapologetic confidence to make a statement.

The match’s chaotic nature was evident from the opening bell, as the Triple Threat rules allowed no disqualifications and no count-outs, ensuring relentless action. Bayley, the seasoned strategist, faced early adversity as Naomi and Stratton briefly united to neutralize the champion. Stratton’s agility shone through with a double handspring elbow, flooring both opponents, while Naomi countered with a breathtaking spear to Stratton on the arena floor. The crowd roared as Bayley regained momentum, targeting Stratton with a sunset flip, only for Stratton to reverse it into a punishing double foot stomp.
