WWE Backlash is happening in Puerto Rico for the first time in 18 years. Some of the biggest superstars in sports entertainment and beyond will be part of Saturday’s show.
The event is headlined by a match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar, with global music superstar Bad Bunny also taking on Damian Priest in a street fight. Rhodes has been eager for a shot at Lesnar ever since Lesnar cost him a rematch against WWE champion Roman Reigns. Bad Bunny and Priest previously teamed up at WrestleMania 37 but turned against each other when Bad Bunny helped Rey Mysterio against Priest’s ally Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania 39.
In addition to three title matches, there are other interesting matches to look forward to. The Bloodline will try to defeat tag team champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, as well as Riddle, in a six-man tag match. There is also a unique match scheduled between Omos and Seth Rollins.
Here’s how you can watch all the action on Saturday night.
