WWE returns to Puerto Rico this weekend for the 2023 Backlash premium live event. Here are all the details you need to know ahead of the show, including the UK start time and full match card.

The event is headlined by the participation of Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny, who recorded the world's top-selling album of 2022.

He will face Damian Priest, who was born in New York but raised in Puerto Rico, in a Street Fight. The duo teamed together at WrestleMania 37, where they defeated the team of The Miz and John Morrison.

Other matches on the card include Cody Rhodes taking on Brock Lesnar, Bianca Belair defending her Raw Women's Championship against Iyo Sky, and Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle facing The Usos and Solo Sikoa in a six-man tag team match.

WWE has not staged an event in Puerto Rico since January 2005, and Backlash marks the first of three consecutive planned events staged outside of the United States, with Saudi Arabia hosting Night of Champions and the UK hosting Money in the Bank.
