Now that WrestleMania 39 has come and gone all eyes are looking ahead to the WWE Backlash premium live event and this year the show is set to take place from San Juan, Puerto Rico. WWE has some big matches on the card such as Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes and Bad Bunny will also be returning to the ring to face Damian Priest.
At this point in time WWE has yet to announce any official plans regarding which match could main event Backlash, but the WRKD Wrestling account is reporting that there’s a push for Bad Bunny vs. Damian Priest to main event the show.
#WWERaw Notes:
– Lesnar/Cody are hoping to try to "elevate their feud" tonight ahead of the PPV
– NXT talents are reportedly backstage & expected to be drafted during/after Raw
– Priest will continue to heat up his feud w/ Bad Bunny, as they're pushing to main event #Backlash pic.twitter.com/AedGVdfa1F

Given Bad Bunny’s popularity and the fact that he’s from Puerto Rico it could make sense for Bunny vs. Priest to main event the show, but with Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes on the card it sounds like WWE has some options to consider.
