Bad Bunny stepped out in front of a molten WWE crowd in Puerto Rico and joined the Latino World Order.

The music megastar will battle Damian Priest in a Street Fight at Backlash tonight, and 24 hours before the Grammy Award winning star took the fight to the Judgment Day.

After an incredible drone shot showing a capacity crowd in San Juan, Rey Mysterio came out with LWO members Santos Escobar, Zelina Vega, Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde.

Rey hyped up Bunny and Priest’s match and an emotional Zelina got serenaded by the electric crowd, but Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley interrupted.

The fans HATED Dom here, and everything led to a main event pitting him and Rhea against Rey and Zelina in a Mixed Tag Match as the masked legend’s son got in a cheap shot before leaving the ring.

The match was fantastic from bell to bell, with Zelina shining 24 hours from her SmackDown Women’s Title match against Rhea, and in the end Rey pinned Dom for the win.

Finn and Dom were joined by Damian Priest as they attacked poor Rey, but Bad Bunny – armed with a kendo stick – led out the LWO to make the save.

The musician and Priest faced off with the former laying into Dom with some shots, then putting on an LWO t-shirt as the group stood tall.

Sky and her Damage CTRL teammates Dakota Kay and Bayley came out with some strong words, leading to a beatdown until Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez ran down to make the save.

Backstage, Jimmy and Jey Uso wanted answers from their younger brother Solo Sikoa, who warned The Usos to do their jobs at Backlash, because he’ll do his.

In the ring, the Street Profits overcame Imperium in an entertaining sprint where everyone was able to shine.

Cody Rhodes had the crowd in the palm of his hand as he addressed his Backlash match against Brock Lesnar.

He referred to the Beast as a ‘gatekeeper’ and insisted he must overcome the intimidating heavyweight to stay on track to finish his story.

After a warning from Karrion Kross earlier in the night, Shinsuke Nakamura beat the sinister star with the Kinshasa.
