There we were, waiting for the unlikely duo of Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar to fight Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. It was the Raw after WrestleMania and Lesnar came out to support Rhodes in his latest battle against The Bloodline.
Introductions were made. Lesnar, cowboy hat and all, smiled and waved as he took the spotlight. Then it was Rhodes’ turn, but before the lights came back on, Lesnar had Rhodes up for an F-5.
The beat down continued for minutes and the drama has now lasted for weeks. At Backlash in Puerto Rico, the two will face off in likely just the first installment of this current feud.
The card at Backlash also features two title matches with Rhea Ripley defending the SmackDown women’s title against Zelina Vega and Austin Theory facing Bobby Lashley and Bronson Reed in a triple threat match for the United States Championship.
Bad Bunny was scheduled to be the host of the event, but now one of the world’s biggest entertainers will be in a Street Fight against Damien Priest.
Follow along here for the results of Backlash in San Juan.
