WWE Backlash 2023 will be the first WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) after WrestleMania 40. The PLE will emanate from the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Interestingly, this is also the first WWE PLE in Puerto Rico since the New Year’s Revolution event in January 2005. While not as big as the Showcase of the Immortals, the upcoming show has enough firepower in its card to present fans with an unforgettable experience. Roman Reigns will not be there to defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but the card more than makes up for it with a first time ever encounter between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar.

Apart from the two, WWE Backlash will also pit hometown heroes Bad Bunny and Damien Priest against each other.  Another wrestler of Puerto Rican descent, Zelina Vega, will compete for the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Rhea Ripley.
