WWE Backlash is all set to take place on May 6, 2023. This will be the first pay-per-view after WrestleMania 39. The most awaited match of the night is ‘Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes.‘ Another match being hyped up is Bad Bunny and Rey Mysterio vs. Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio.
The hype created by the event is unparalleled. Puerto Rico is known as the hub of wrestling. Many wrestling greats have been trained in the territories there. It will be an excellent gift for the fans there.
Fans are having high expectations from the event. This year’s Backlash is also unique because most matches on the card do not continue to WrestleMania. This is also one of the reasons why this year’s Backlash is not named ‘WrestleMania Backlash.’ There is an element of freshness in the matches.
