Bad Bunny to host WWE Backlash in Puerto Rico
Bad Bunny is returning to WWE.
Announced on Wednesday, the music star will host WWE Backlash, set for Saturday, May 6th from Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico — his native island.
It will be the first WWE pay-per-view to be held in Puerto Rico since 2005’s New Year’s Revolution, a show headlined by an Elimination Chamber match. Presale registration has opened up, but the onsale date was not announced.
It will be Bad Bunny’s first WWE appearance since the 2022 Royal Rumble when he was a surprise participant in the Rumble match. He made his in-ring debut at 2021’s WrestleMania when he and Damien Priest defeated The Miz & John Morrison and has also appeared on Raw.
In a statement, he said, “In 2005 when I was a kid, I wasn’t able to attend New Year’s Revolution at el Coliseo. Finally, 18 years later WWE returns to the island with a massive event and this time I won’t miss it.”
