Bad Bunny and Priest will lock horns in a San Juan Street Fight at WWE Backlash 2023 on Saturday, May 6. And just one day before their high voltage contest, things have flared up to the delight of fans.
Their recent rivalry began during Dominik Mysterio vs Rey Mysterio match at WrestleMania 39. Priest had left a steel chain near the ring for his The Judgement Day member Dominik, to use against Rey. But in the nick of time, Bad Bunny had prevented Dominik from using the steel chain which ultimately resulted in Rey emerging victorious in the "father vs son" contest. Since then, Priest held a grudge against Bad Bunny. In the Raw after WrestleMania episode, Priest had brutally beaten Bad Bunny to avenge the pop music star's involvement in Dominik's loss. Later on the April 24 episode of Raw, Bad Bunny had attacked Priest with a Kendo stick and challenged him for a fight at WWE Backlash 2023.
