Report: WWE Talent Hoping Puerto Rico Becomes Permanent Home Of Backlash

The WWE roster hopes that San Juan, Puerto Rico becomes the permanent home for Backlash going forwards, according to a report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider Elite. 

The report states: "The talk backstage at the Backlash PPV among the talents was that they hoped the company would make San Juan a permanent home for the show, feeling the crowd reactions for both Smackdown and the PPV were at 'Wrestlemania' levels and made the post-Mania PPV the most important the event had been in years." 

Many fans took to social media during and after WWE Backlash to express how impressive and enthusiastic the San Juan crowd was. The match that arguably garnered the biggest reaction was the Street Fight between Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny and former ally Damian Priest. On the attitude towards Bad Bunny backstage, Johnson reveals:

"As you can imagine, lots of raves for Bad Bunny backstage.  Out of every celebrity who has performed for the company, he has easily become the most embraced as 'one of the boys' among the talents."
