Whilst it might be tempting to script Bad Bunny going over in Puerto Rico and celebrating as the fireworks go off/his countrymen cheer, WWE shouldn't go that route. What would it achieve? It's not like Bunny must be kept hot for a coming push or title tilt, is it?

Damian Priest should be the focus in this match.

He can take everything the spirited rapper has to give during their 'San Juan Street Fight', then throw cold water on his flames by scoring the win. Decisively beating his old mate in such a featured spot on pay-per-view would do Priest the world of good - he's been a bit of a Judgment Day also-ran for a while, and that doesn't sit very well.

Backlash must be a breakout performance for somebody WWE once had incredibly high hopes for on the main roster. His run hasn't been bad, obviously, but it does need a bit of help. Beating Bad Bunny makes sense.
