WWE Backlash Match Result: Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest
The San Juan Street Fight did not disappoint.
Before the bell rang, the crowd was at a fever pitch for the home town boy. Backed by his new theme music being sung by the Puerto Rico crowd. Bad Bunny would bring a shopping cart full of toys to the ring.
Bad Bunny immediately did not shy away, stepping to Priest immediately. The early part of the match featured Priest putting a beating on Bunny despite the rap artist being defiant. Priest would even hit South Of Heaven early, pulling Bunny up at two from the resulting pinfall.
After this, Bunny would begin to come into the match, using the street fight rules to his advantage to even the odds against the powerhouse. Bad Bunny hit the Falcon Arrow on Priest which was an impressive move in itself but would then suffer at the wrath of Priest with weapons before the pair made their way into the crowd.
This would spell disaster for Bad Bunny as Priest would hit a broken arrow through two tables, with Priest carrying Bunny back to the ring. Priest would then injure his leg off a missed wheel kick and Bunny would go to work on the injured knee of his former friend, using multiple weapons on Priest. Despite a brief flurry from Priest, Bunny would land a low blow.
This would trigger Dominik and Finn Balor to hit the ring, followed by Rey Mysterio. Then, out of nowhere, Carlito hit the ring to make the save for the LWO. He would even get to spit the apple in Dominik’s face, driving the Judgement Day back up the ramp towards Savio Vega and the rest of the LWO, neutralizing the two heels.
Back in the ring, Bad Bunny would lock in a figure four leg lock on Priest, who would counter into a South of Heaven attempt. However, Priest would end up going face first into a chair, before Bunny hit a Sliced Bread Number 2 on Priest for a near fall.
Bunny would then get the win with a Canadian Destroyer, collapsing onto Damian Priest for the victory in a very entertaining match.
