Celebrity rapper Bad Bunny cemented his place in the wrestling industry, clinching an impressive win against Damian Priest in a high-voltage street fight match in his hometown, Puerto Rico. The match at WWE Backlash 2023 saw multiple interferences, a trolly of weapons, and numerous spectacular moves.
Benito Ocasio left no stone unturned to emerge victorious in his single debut match in WWE. From taking multiple shots from a Kendo stick to injuring his opponent’s leg with a steel chain and chair, Bunny put it all in the line. He stunned the audiences when he performed Ric Flair’s iconic finisher ‘Figure Four leg lock’ to trap Priest at the climax of the match.

Flair, who has been on a hiatus since her loss at WrestleMania 39, has been very enthusiastic about WWE Backslash, especially about Bad Bunny’s hyped-up match. The day before the big match, ‘the Queen’ gave an exclusive interview to the Boardroom, where she took her hat off to the rapper’s potential in wrestling. She noted, “It’s just unbelievable how much he’s thrown himself into the sport and wants to be good at it. You don’t see that many people who come from different industries putting that much time into it, and he does.”
The 14-time WWE Women’s World Champion, who wanted to feature in a music video alongside Bunny, also expressed her wish to be his tag team partner someday as well. However, ‘the Queen’ also took notice of another big star who returned to the ring to help Bunny in his incomparable attempt to win.

While each and every second of Bad Bunny’s exhilarating fight with his former best friend Damian Priest stole the show, there was one special moment that blew the roof off. The entire crowd went insane when Carlito appeared in the room with his theme song in the background. Carlito Caribbean Cool’s LWO T-shirt made it very clear that he returned to come to the aid of Bad Bunny. From performing backstabber to the iconic ‘spitting the apple’, he launched a number of vicious attacks on the ‘Judgement Day’ members. It’s needless to say that his role was a key contributor to Bunny’s win tonight.
