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.

If you have to watch one (HBO) Max movie in September 2024, stream this one
Jessica Chastain in The Martian.

If you're looking to have a Harry Potter marathon on Max, now would be the time. All eight of the Harry Potter movies are back on Max in September, and they're joined by horror classics The Exorcist and The Shining. Some of our other favorites this month include The Big Chill, Inherent Vice, and Disobedience. Any of those films would be good choices to stream, but our pick for the one Max movie that you have to watch in September is The Martian.

Don't let the name fool you, this isn't that kind of science fiction movie. There aren't any little gray aliens living on Mars; there's just a single human astronaut who may be hopelessly stranded and doomed to die long before any rescue operation can be launched. But it's far from a hopeless story, and even the behind-the-scenes tale of The Martian is inspiring. Novelist Andy Weir self-published the book on his own website before it was discovered by a larger audience. The Martian became a bestselling novel, which in turn led director Ridley Scott to assemble a stellar cast to bring it to life on the big screen.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this September, stream this one
A gang of males walks down a street in West Side Story.

More than any other Hollywood studio, Disney is a brand unto itself. Thanks to its theme parks, cruises, and century of "magic," Disney has established itself in the minds of millions as the studio that turns dreams into reality. As the movie library on Disney+ continues to expand, though, it's easy to forget that Disney owns plenty of movies that aren't animated or about Tony Stark.

If you're looking for a movie worth watching on the service outside of Disney's bigger properties, then the 2021 reimagining of West Side Story is a great place to start. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the movie retains much of what makes the musical great while taking a few big swings of its own. Set on the west side of 1960s New York, the film tells the story of a doomed romance between two people on opposite sides of a gang war. Here are three reasons you should check it out.

3 action movies on Hulu you need to watch in September 2024
A man prepares to fight in Boy Kills World.

Action fans are rarely out of options on Hulu. Thanks to Hulu's less stringent approach to R-rated movies, it has a lot more options than the safe PG-13 flicks that populate Disney+. Hulu is also home to the vast film library of 20th Century Studios, which means that some storied franchises have a streaming service of their own.

Our picks for the three action movies on Hulu that you need to watch in September include a recent release that's making its streaming premiere, an underappreciated sequel, and a jaw-dropping sci-fi/action story that was one of the best films of the decade.
