WWE's next premium live event will take place at an international venue next month. However, fans are a bit confused after a top superstar mistakenly used the wrong name of the show on this week's RAW.
Cody Rhodes was present on the April 10, 2023, edition of the red brand to address the attack from Brock Lesnar on last week's show. The American Nightmare then challenged The Beast Incarnate to a "WrestleMania Backlash" match, which the latter is expected to answer next week. Due to Rhodes' statement, many fans thought the Stamford-based promotion had returned to the event's former name, which is not the case.
WWE's next premium live event is still named Backlash. The company even posted another graphic for the show on social media. The event will take place at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on May 6, 2023.

Since Roman Reigns is reportedly not going to be present for the upcoming premium live event in Puerto Rico, it looks like major stars like Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar will headline the show instead. Still, they're not the only notable names teased for the event.
WWE's next premium live event Backlash is set to feature a renowned Puerto Rican star
The May 6, 2023, show marks the first time the Stamford-based promotion will return to the Caribbean island since the New Year's Revolution event in 2005. Due to the importance of the event, some Puerto Rican stars are expected to attend the event.
After WWE's next premium live event was announced, it was revealed that the island's very own award-winning artist Bad Bunny is slated to host the show. However, it looks like the 29-year-old will be doing much more than that.
Bad Bunny helped Rey Mysterio during the latter's WrestleMania 39 match against Dominik Mysterio. The rapper snatched a chain away from Dominik, who planned to use it against Rey. Bunny's interference caused the Judgment Day member to lose the match.
The Puerto Rican rapper was also in the front row on RAW after WrestleMania when Damian Priest and Dominik attacked him for his actions on The Show of Shows. Judgment Day delivered several blows to the rapper, and Priest slammed him through the commentary table.
From what it looks like, WWE is already beginning to build up feuds and storylines for the upcoming premium live event. It remains to be seen which other stars will feature on the show.
