WWE are currently not interested in returning to Puerto Rico until the tourism board decides to cut them another big check.
The Backlash premium live event was a resounding success for WWE, with the fans in attendance ravenous for the card. In particular, Bad Bunny was portrayed as the superstar he is on the island.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained that WWE won’t likely be back to Puerto Rico until their tourism board cuts another big check for the company.
“The thing is, they’re only gonna come if they get paid. So, that’s up to how much the tourism board wants to pay. Usually, when it comes to this type of thing. Generally speaking, if they want to bring you in, if the tourism board brings you in, they’re not gonna bring you in every year. They’re gonna use their money to bring in another act next year, it won’t always be WWE. So, yeah, for them to do a pay-per-view generally, and there’s an exception, because when they go to London they’re not getting paid by a tourism board, they just feel like it’s time to do it.”

We will have to wait and see if WWE will return to Puerto Rico in the near future, but it seems the company are not interested unless they are paid to do so.
