For the first time since 2005's New Year’s Revolution event, WWE heads to Puerto Rico for its Backlash show. 

The fallout from WrestleMania, Backlash takes place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. Jose Miguel Agrelot and Bad Bunny hosts the event on May 6. 

“In 2005 when I was a kid, I wasn’t able to attend New Year’s Revolution at el Coliseo,” said Bad Bunny in a release. “Finally, 18 years later, WWE returns to the island with a massive event and this time I won’t miss it.”

A grudge match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar will main event the show. The first time the two have faced off, Rhodes seeks to avenge a betrayal at the hands of Lesnar, who was supposed to team with Rhodes on the Raw after WrestleMania.

Challenging Roman Reigns for the WWE Undisputed Universal Title at WrestleMania 39 and losing, Rhodes heads back to the drawing board and will work his way back up the card.

Two title fights will be on the card. Rhea Ripley defends the WWE SmackDown Women’s Title against the L.W.O.’s Zelina Vega, and Austin Theory defends the WWE United States Title against Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed.
