Bad Bunny will wrestle his first ever singles match at WWE Backlash and he’s set for a brutal night.
Fresh off the back of headlining Coachella – where he was seen with rumoured girlfriend Kendall Jenner – the Grammy Award winning musician made his presence felt on Monday Night Raw and laid down a challenge for Damian Priest.
The two former friends, who actually teamed up for Bunny’s in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37 in 2021, will clash in a wild San Juan Street Fight on May 6.
He came out after Priest’s main event match with Rey Mysterio, armed with a kendo stick and swinging for the fences as he fought his foe.
Their on screen rivalry took another twist last night, a few weeks after the singer was chokeslammed through a table by the so-called Archer of Infamy.
The attack was retaliation after Bunny got involved in Rey and Dominik Mysterio’s emotional father/son match at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood on April 1, stopping Dom from using a chain to cheat his way to victory.

Two nights later on Raw, the musician appeared at ringside to hype up his role as host of Backlash on May 6, but Dom – who is part of The Judgment Day with Priest, Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley – got in his face.
Bunny hit two punches to lay out the star, but Priest pulled him over the barrier and unleashed an intense attack, slamming him through the announce table.
He left him in a heap, and fans didn’t see the musician on WWE TV until he returned at last night’s show.

There had been rumours Bunny would be teaming up with Rey to take on Priest and Dom in a tag team match, but at least for now it appears the company is going in a different direction.
If the bout doesn’t get changed, it will mark the musician’s first ever singles match in WWE, following his tag team debut in 2021 and his surprise appearance in the 2022 Men’s Royal Rumble.
WWE Backlash airs on Saturday, May 6 at 1am from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Tune in via the WWE Network and BT Sport.
