Two-time GRAMMY award winner Bad Bunny to host Backlash live in Puerto Rico on Saturday

Bad Bunny, a two-time Grammy Award winner, and well-known musical artist will host Backlash on Saturday, May 6, live from San Juan, Puerto Rico’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot. Since January 2005, Backlash is the first WWE premium live event to be held in Puerto Rico.

“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,” said Bad Bunny.

“We’re excited to bring Backlash to San Juan as the demand for WWE premium live events outside of the continental United States continues to grow. Bad Bunny is one of the world’s most popular entertainers and nowhere is that more evident than in his native Puerto Rico,” said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

He made it really easy: Damian Priest

The rapper stunned fans with his extraordinary talents at WrestleMania 37 in 2021 and during the Royal Rumble battle last year, and fans have been eagerly waiting to see him back in the ring ever since then. The 28-year-old will host Backlash on Saturday, May 6, from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in Puerto Rico’s capital city of San Juan, though it has not yet been confirmed that he will wrestle on the program.

One of the three premium live events that WWE will hold outside of North America this year will now be Backlash. On July 1st, Money In the Bank will be broadcast live from London’s 02 Arena, while on May 27, King and Queen of the Ring will take place in Jeddah’s Superdome.

During WrestleMania 37, the rapper faced off against the tag team of John Morrison and The Miz alongside Damian Priest. Priest was recently asked about working with a fellow Puerto Rican on the Grandest Stage of Them All during an interview on the Whitty Whittier channel.

“But man, he (Bad Bunny) made it really easy because he wasn’t just a celebrity that came in to promote something and didn’t really care like he’s a lifelong fan and this was a part of his dreams. A dream to become a music artist and WWE Superstar, and he would love to achieve that, and when he came, he put in the work,” Priest shared.
