The singles match involving Bad Bunny and Damian Priest comes as a late addition to the Backlash card, as the Grammy Award-winning recording artist was originally scheduled to host the premium live event. After Priest sent Bad Bunny crashing through the announce table on the "Raw" after WrestleMania, he began taunting his former friend. Bad Bunny finally returned three weeks later equipped with a kendo stick, and a challenge in mind. Now, he will battle Priest in a street fight on their home turf in Puerto Rico.
