WWE officials were pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response to Backlash 2023, which took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The event was part of a three-show run of WWE premium live events taking place outside the United States of America. WWE may look towards hosting more localised, specialised events like Backlash when it makes sense to do so.
Backlash 2023 is set to feature three title matches and a Street Fight between Bad Bunny and Damian Priest. Bold predictions include Bronson Reed winning the United States Championship, IYO SKY scoring a huge upset over Bianca Belair, MVP forming Hurt Business 2.0, Bad Bunny getting unexpected help against Damian Priest, and Roman Reigns making a surprise appearance despite not being advertised.
WWE Superstar Omos will face Seth Rollins at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico in a "revenge match" after Rollins ruined Omos' celebration last year. Omos has his sights set on winning the WWE Championship in the future, according to his manager MVP. Fans are eagerly anticipating the match to see who will come out on top.
Seth Rollins will face Omos in a match at WWE Backlash 2023, despite having no on-air interaction before. The event will also feature Zelina Vega challenging Rhea Ripley and Austin Theory defending his WWE United States Championship against Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed. Make-A-Wish and WWE are celebrating their 40-year partnership.
WWE reportedly wants to push Puerto Rico as a travel destination for fans, and one of the main reasons behind booking several major matches on the Backlash 2023 card, including Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes. There are no plans for a showdown between Lesnar and Gunther at WWE SummerSlam 2023.
