i love this crowd. such amazing energy tbh.

[_Tahmar]

The crowds overseas make us look bad in the states every single time 😂

[SRTGhostOG]

This crowd literally Earned a Wrestlemania 😂

[kabiruddin]

The crowd saying “who?” after Randy Orton asked Paul Heyman who was the tribal chief was hilarious. 😂

[taicon_tamze]

The fanbase in France is a whole new level

[josephsimons]

That crowd honestly wouldn't let that show be boring. They made the show. Imagine being there it would of been amazing. I never left but wrestling is cool again. How can you not love it.

[circusbezerkus]

Love these International crowds!! Always so loud and rowdy!! 🔥

[Sinji]

whenever the crowd hears phenomenal, they go crazy lol

[gamingwithali]

The crowd reactions for Bayley, LA Knight, and Cody were. 🔥

I love how they changed so hard for Cody during the segment, but they also respected AJ and clapped for him at times. That's how you behave during a promo, not with those stupid what chants that ruin everything.

[LESRAM]

Well the crowd is acting like this is a typical soccer match. 😂❤

[kaptainkibiroproductions]

Crowd tonight should be absolute definitive proof that they need to hold more events all around the world.

[lakers]

When Cody and AJ talk the crowd sing "he is really phénoménal la la la..." if you want to know

[kabiruddin]

The crowd was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to see them steal the show tomorrow at Backlash.

[talelbouka]

Without doubt this is the crowd of the decade that we have in WWE

[FlipperWolf]

Some important context for the international crowd watching: The sentence you hear the crowd yelling after a 2 count is "simplement deux" which means "only two". It's a catch phrase that's been coined by two French commentators for more than twenty years on French TV, those very two commentators that you see at the ringside table. In fact if the French crowd is so passionate about WWE, it's in a very VERY big part thanks to those two guys, even if they don't wanna admit it. And the proof is that the whole arena knows this catchphrase... Philippe and Christophe are might in fact be the most influential "superstars" of WWE in France, and I'm not saying this lightly. Probably the majority of the crowd present tonight and tomorrow at Backlash fell in love with WWE thanks to the way these two guys always know how to convey and translate the stories to the French audience, and for the past 20+ years they've always been as loud and passionate on commentary as the crowd tonight. Add to that the fact that they also play characters while they comment the matches, Christophe is usually cheering the bad guys while Philippe cheers the good guys, and they have a whole lot of running gags and inside jokes that they've been throwing for as long as I can remember...
I could write a whole essay about those two and their importance in the French WWE universe. That's probably why Cody shook their hands before his match, I think he knows.

The crowd need some platinum plate for one all of them in Lyon, France. Fantastic, continue that energy in Backlash, guys 🇫🇷💯🔥

[Footyla]

WWE really have to consider moving Wrestlmania out of US to have such a crowd

[annaxuldraugworc]

"A bunch of guy I've beaten before"
AJ Style really punched himself in the nuts when he forgot how badly he got dumped by The Undertaker 😂😂

[bertvg]

Had not expected the football song my French teacher taught me in 2001... Il est vraiment phénoménalalalalala!

[trancheur-]

On a montré que la France était là 🇨🇵 pensez à nous pour un mania pour vous sortira un truc de fou ❤
