WWE Network Presents WWE Backlash 2023 Results & Review Written by Ryan Balkwill

Promotion: WWE

Brand(s): Raw, SmackDown

Date: May 6, 2023

City:San Juan, Puerto Rico

Venue: Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot

Overall Show Score: 8/10

Pros: Carlito Cool and Savio Vega did surprise me. The main theme song for late night’s event worked well within the theme of this event. The Puerto Rico crowd helped make this show so enjoyable. I like the camera shot at the beginning showing the In and out of the arena and my favourite matchwas the San Juan Street Fight between Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest.

Cons: The Rhea, Zelina Match were a letdown being short. Cody, Brock Finished was out of thin air and my least favourite match was between Austin, Bobby & Reed.
