In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Bad Bunny stated that WWE was planning to host a Backlash premium live event in Mexico. However, he did not provide specifics regarding the timing or exact location of the rumored event.
According to PWInsider.com, sources within WWE have shot down Bunny’s claim. Multiple people within the company have reportedly stated that there are currently no plans for Backlash to take place in Mexico.
While Bunny’s comments sparked excitement among fans, it appears that WWE’s plans for future Backlash events may not include Mexico, at least for now.
