On Saturday night the Backlash premium live event aired live from Puerto Rico and Bad Bunny faced off against Damian Priest in a street fight. Both men beat each other with weapons throughout the match, but Priest dominated early on.
Bad Bunny targeted Priest’s knee as he slammed it into the turnbuckle and he went to follow up with a chair shot as Priest was laying on the mat, but Priest apologized and begged him not to then followed up by kicking Bunny in the face. The Judgment Day then made their way down to the ring to attack Bad Bunny.
As The Judgment Day was beating down Bad Bunny, Rey Mysterio made his way down to the ring, but the numbers game proved to be too much for him. That’s when Carlito’s music hit and Carlito made his way down to the ring in a LWO shirt to help Rey and Bad Bunny fight off Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor.
Rey & Carlito managed to send Dominik & Finn out of the ring, but as they walked to the back Savio Vega made his way out in a LWO shirt. He then pointed to the entrance way and Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro came out to battle The Judgment Day.
Finn Balor came face to face with Vega and he chopped Finn Balor then kicked him in the face. Everyone ran to the back and Bad Bunny put Damian Priest in the figure four leg lock in the ring.
The end of the match came when Bad Bunny destroyed Damian Priest with a chair then hit him with the Bunny Destroyer for the win. After the match the LWO, Savio Vega and Carlito made their way out to celebrate with Bad Bunny.
The roof just blew off for the return of CARLITO in Puerto Rico at #WWEBacklash!!!
