One of the top recording artists in the world, Bad Bunny has taken over the music industry. At times, he has also taken over a wrestling ring. He will look to do so again when WWE heads to Puerto Rico for Backlash on May 6.
The PPV event after WrestleMania is inside Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan.
Bad Bunny faces The Judgement Day’s Damian Priest. The former interfered in Rey Mysterio’s match against his son Dominik at WrestleMania 39, preventing Dominik from cheating. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Priest attacked Bad Bunny, putting him through the announce table. Bad Bunny returned a few weeks later and challenged Priest to a street fight.
It is the first major singles match in WWE for Bad Bunny, a former 24/7 Champion.
