Booker T Thinks Bad Bunny & Damian Priest Should Have Main Evented WWE Backlash

Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes Bad Bunny and Damian Priest's San Juan Street Fight should have headlined Backlash.

Though the show was billed as having a 'double main event', Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar went on last on the night.

Discussing the decision on a recent edition of his The Hall of Fame podcast, Booker agreed with his co-host Brad Gilmore that the crowd were tired after seeing their hometown hero perform, noting:

"You gotta understand when the crowd is gonna be at its peak, and that was when Bad Bunny was gonna come out. Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico, I don't care who you got on the card, that's the main event [laughs]. You can't miss that moment. Well, you shouldn't miss that moment, but yeah, I get it. I totally understand, and I agree 100%". 

With regards to the match in general, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion was full of praise for both competitors, saying:

"It being in Puerto Rico, it just had a certain feel to it, letting those guys get their flowers, letting those fans really cheer for those guys, really make the guys feel a certain way. Savio Vega has been in this business for what seems like forever, and he's still out there doing it, and the fans, that's that nostalgic moment. Total celebrity versus WWE superstar match, and then the star pulled it off. Big ups to Bunny going out there and getting it done, but there's no way Bad Bunny could have gotten it done without someone like Damian Priest going out there and really making that guy look a certain way in the middle of that ring. So I gotta give Damian Priest big, big props".

Reports indicate that WWE are interested in using Bad Bunny in some form at SummerSlam.
