WWE Backlash 2023 results: Bad Bunny shows out, wins San Juan Street Fight with Damian Priest

Bad Bunny had the help he needed to prevail over Damian Priest in their San Juan Street Fight.

Damian Priest is wearing the same ring gear he wore while teaming with Bad Bunny two years ago at WrestleMania, some obvious head games. The crowd explodes when Bunny makes his walk to the ring, stopping to take a shopping cart full of weapons with him.

Despite their height difference, Bunny steps right to Priest after the bell rings and gets knocked back into the corner twice. Bad Bunny catches Priest off guard with a Michinoku driver but Damian immediately kicks out.

Bunny tries for a kendo stick shot but gets a right hand to the body for his trouble. Priest shatters the kendo stick, then body slams the music superstar.

Priest crotch chops the fans for chanting for their hero, then takes Bad Bunny to one knee by wrenching his left arm. A thumb to the eyes is answered by a knee shot, but Bunny uses a jawbreaker to press his attack to the corner. He pulls off a backslide for a quick two count as well.

Priest is able to hit a chokeslam and might have it won, but he pulls up on the pin at two so he can continue to beat on Bad Bunny. Damian heads out for the shopping cart and grabs a wooden bat, then tosses it aside. Alas, Bunny is prepared for him on the floor and throws a steel chair in his face.

Bad Bunny grabs another kendo stick and gets in a few shots, following with a tornado DDT off the middle rope and clotheslining Priest to the floor. Bunny heads to the top rope and hurls himself down with a cross body as Michael Cole yells “bunnies can fly!”

Now Bad Bunny wails away with trash can lids in both hands before grabbing another kendo stick. He gets in four shots, then an elbow in the corner. Bunny hits a second Michinoku driver (or perhaps a Broken Arrow), covering for a near fall.

With Priest recouping on the floor, Bad Bunny draws a line on the mat with his foot. Damian goes to walk up the ramp, turning to kick a trash can into Bunny’s head and smashing him with it as well.

Priest has the custom Puerto Rican kendo stick that Savio Vega gave Bad Bunny and uses it to good effect. The fans are chanting but see Bunny get hurled into the timekeeper’s area. They fight into the crowd, with Bunny bravely trying to trade right hands but getting the worst of it.

The two men end up atop some equipment lockers, where Priest hits a Broken Arrow down through some tables.

Adam Pearce and other officials come out to check on Bad Bunny, but Priest says he’s not done.

Back near ringside, Priest kicks Bad Bunny in the chest several times. But Bunny rallies with a kendo stick back in the ring, with Priest selling damage to his left knee … and Bad Bunny goes right after it. Damian tells the ref he’s hurt, but his foe keeps targeting the knee, smashing it into the ringpost.

Back at the shopping cart, Bad Bunny gets a steel chain and uses that to assist in the assault on the knee. He returns for a steel chair and smashes the knee between that and the post. He’s not done, as he hits a low blow on Priest … but Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio rush in to attack him.

A chair is set up in the corner, but Rey Mysterio is now in there too. And soon Carlito is too! Yes, you read that right.

He takes a bite from an apple but gets smashed from behind by Dom, who is soon eating a 619 from Rey. Carlito and Rey chase Balor and Dominik back up the ramp, but there’s nowhere to run as Savio Vega comes toward them.

The rest of the LWO arrives to back up Vega, and when Balor abandons Dom, he finds Vega is more than enough to take care of him. Vega has some for Dominik too, and the LWO chases the Judgment Day to the back.

Meanwhile, Priest’s knee betrays him as he attacks Bunny, who smartly locks in a Figure Four. He tries for several pinfalls too, but Priest ends up getting smashed into a chair and takes a Sliced Bread No. 2. He kicks out at two, so Bad Bunny goes for a chair again.

The chair rains down numerous times as Bad Bunny fires up the fans again. He hits the Bunny Destroyer and Priest isn’t kicking out from that.
