The feud between Damian Priest and the three-time Grammy Award winner Bad Bunny culminated at Saturday night's Backlash Premium Live Event that emanated from the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico. The two stars had collided in a San Juan Street Fight and Bunny emerged victorious against Priest in his first singles match in WWE.

It was a thrilling bout that went on for about 25 minutes. Even before the match, Bunny had the crowd pumped up. He had introduced a new theme song for the show. The match saw interference from other members of The Judgment Day group - Dominik Mysterio & Finn Balor.

Rey Mysterio tried to make the save, but that wasn’t enough and that led to Carlito and Savio Vega making appearances. After Bad Bunny used a steel chair to wear down Priest even more, Bunny hit the Canadian Destroyer (or “Bunny Destroyer” as Cole called it) for the pinfall win.

PWInsider is reporting that there has been praise internally for Priest for everything he's done to "level himself up" and one source stated that is reportedly seen as one of the "top level players" going forward.

Meanwhile, it was announced that a new World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned at Night of Champions in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on May 27. The tournament to crown the new champion kicked off with the first-round triple threat matches on last night's Monday Night Raw.

Damian Priest competed against Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura in a triple threat match. 'The Visionary' emerged victorious to qualify for the semi-final. He eventually defeated Finn Balor, the winner of the other triple threat match and qualified for the final.
