WWE can't be blamed for flashing their knickers at Bad Bunny again. He's a huge star with mainstream appeal, and Backlash is in Bunny's homeland. At the very least, the rapper's gonna guest host the show and probably perform a few tunes live between matches.

That's fine. What wouldn't be fine is Bunny beating GUNTHER (?!) to become the brand new Intercontinental Champion just so WWE can tout that sh*t worldwide as wrestling hardcores cry themselves to sleep. No thanks. This would be a publicity stunt no-one needs to see, but it screams celeb pandering and WWE have been no strangers to that over the years.

Need two swerves for the price of one? How about Bunny immediately handing the belt to ex-Judgment Day man Damian Priest because he's too busy with music. Honestly, your writer might've just given himself acid reflux jotting all of this down.

Breathe, people. Surely WWE wouldn't do this?!
