With WrestleMania 39 in the rearview, WWE is gearing up to fly to Puerto Rico for Backlash. The Premium Live Event will take place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan on Saturday, May 6th. So far, the match card for the forthcoming event is replete with action-packed matches. Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar will reportedly headline the show.
On the edition of Raw after WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar flew into a rage and obliterated Cody Rhodes ahead of their tag team match as partners. Brock’s actions were uncalled-for.
The latest edition of Raw saw Cody Rhodes looking for retribution. The American Nightmare made his way to the ring and issued a challenge to the Beast Incarnate. Cody Rhodes will go head-to-head against the former WWE Champion for the first time ever.
