The Backlash go-home show of WWE SmackDown is stacked with great matches as well as a couple of highly-anticipated segments. Tonight, Bad Bunny will grace the blue brand for the first time since he got roped into a fight with The Judgment Day member Damian Priest.
May 5 edition of Friday Night SmackDown will emanate from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, a day before the Backlash event hits the screens. The 18,000 and above seater has been a hub for music concerts. Notable music stars such as Justin Beiber, Ed Sheeran, and Katy Perry have performed in the arena.
The last premium live event to be held in San Juan was in 2005. Presently, Undisputed Tag Team Champions Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn along with The Usos are advertised for the blue brand show.
