Bad Bunny And Damian Priest Credited For Bringing Former WWE Star Back To The Company

You never know who might show up when you watch WWE programming and over the weekend some familiar faces appeared at the WWE Backlash premium live event in Puerto Rico. Savio Vega and Carlito both returned to WWE programming and they received big ovations from the fans in attendance.

Recently Savio Vega spoke to Cultaholic about his big WWE return and he noted that it was Damian Priest and Bad Bunny who got the ball rolling on his appearance at Backlash.

“They got in contact with me because this is the mastermind of Damian Priest and Bad Bunny. They’re both fans of me, I discovered that when I went to the farewell of The Undertaker. I saw Damian Priest there and as soon as I see him, I went to him and said, ‘Hey, man, how you doing?’ I said, I want to take a picture with you.’ He said, ‘I want to take a picture with you.’ I said, ‘No, I want to take a picture with you.’ So I talked to him a little bit there, my experience and stuff like that.

We don’t talk too much, but we keep in touch by phone. So this idea was them. More Damian Priest and he said, ‘I’d like to have this two guys in Puerto Rico when they find out they’re gonna do this pay-per-view over here.’ The dream came true, and then the rest was to put the puzzle together. Soon that happened, the company called me and [asked] if I’m interested to be part of it. I said, ‘Why not? Yes, let’s do it.’ They said, ‘Carlito’s gonna be in town.’ I said, ‘Bring him down too. That’s good.’ It was great.”
