Bad Bunny Reflects On ‘Feeling Like He Was Going To Die’ After WWE Backlash

WWE

Bad Bunny returned to a WWE ring for his first ever singles match back at Backlash in Puerto Rico earlier this month.

Bunny defeated Damian Priest in a San Juan Street Fight in both men’s home country.

The match was very well received, with Bunny taking a lot of crazy bumps in the match simply for his love of wrestling, but he was feeling the effects shortly after.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on New Music Daily, Bunny discussed Backlash, calling it one of the best moments of his life.

He said:

“Wow, that was insane. That was really crazy, the people, the energy was another level. What happened that night, I’m never going to forget it. I remember, I said before the WrestleMania fight that day was one of my favorite moments of my life, but the Backlash fight in Puerto Rico was another level. It was really one of the biggest and best moments of my life, I really enjoyed that fight.

“I suffered. Yeah, I got hurt. I got hurt. My back, my back. My whole body, bro. My whole body. I felt that I was going to die after that match. I really thought that I was going to die after the match, but it’s part of it. I was prepared then, and now I’m going to drop a song. I know. I’m a crazy guy. I love it. I love it, and that’s what matters.”
