WWE will be hosting the Backlash event in Puerto Rico, and they have enlisted the help of a well-known personality. Backlash will be broadcast live from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico on May 6, with Bad Bunny as the host.
In an announcement made on Wednesday, WWE revealed that Bad Bunny, a two-time Grammy winner, will be serving as the host for the event. “In 2005 when I was a kid, I wasn’t able to attend New Year’s Revolution at el Coliseo,” Bunny said in a press release. “Finally, 18 years later WWE returns to the island with a massive event and this time I won’t miss it.”
Bunny, who is 28 years old, has impressed many with his performances in the wrestling ring. He teamed up with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37, and he also competed in the 2022 men’s Royal Rumble match. Bunny is also a former 24/7 champion and has collaborated with several famous pro wrestlers. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Ric Flair, and Booker T have all made appearances in his music videos, with Booker T even starring in Bunny’s song “Booker T.”
The last time WWE hosted a major show in Puerto Rico was in 2005 with New Year’s Revolution. The company is now making an effort to reach fans internationally by hosting significant events overseas. Earlier this year, WWE held Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Canada, and they have major shows planned for London, England (Money in the Bank) and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (King and Queen of the Ring) later this year.
