It'd be a brave move if Roman Reigns was kept off WWE's second pay-per-view jaunt to Puerto Rico on 6 May. He's the company's top star and double World Champion, so giving Reigns the night off for Backlash would have some scratching their heads locally and viewing the show as less of a hot ticket.

Of course, WWE could get around that by booking Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar (more on that later) and Bad Bunny in the main event slot. Yep, you're reading that correctly - who says the rapper can't team with the iconic Rey Mysterio to wrestle old pal Damian Priest and snot-nosed brat Dominik Mysterio in the headline spot?

This is something WWE could pull off.

Raw viewers defo shouldn't be too shocked if Bunny becomes a major part of the build towards Backlash for the rest of April. He's a massive deal in Puerto Rico, obviously, and there will be a surge of interest in that market to see him hit some Destroyers on Priest.
