About WWE Backlash 2023
For the first time since 2005, WWE will hold an event in Puerto Rico — and they’re getting a really great card filled with Puerto Rican representation. They’ll have to choose sides in a matchup of two homegrown talents — Damian Priest and Bad Bunny, as they face off in a San Juan Street Fighter. Benito and Priest were once tag partners but now find themselves on opposite sides of the ring. This one has all the makings of a sneaky “match of the night” candidate, especially if both sides get hardcore and launch some nasty weapon shots at one another.
Zelina Vega is the only woman of Puerto Rican descent on the WWE roster and she will take on SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley in a match for the title. Vega and the reformed Latino World Order have feuded with Ripley’s Judgement Day faction and this match will no doubt further that saga.
In the likely main event of the evening, Matt Riddle joins the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to take on Solo Sikoa and the Usos to further that storyline, too.
