The WWE returned to Puerto Rico for the first time since 2005 and put on a good show for wrestling-starved fans in San Juan at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot.

WWE said in a statement Monday that Backlash was the highest-grossing and most-viewed Backlash in the company’s history. The company said viewership saw a 28% increase from the 2022 event with a total of 34,800 showing up between "Friday Night SmackDown" and the premium live event.

Though Roman Reigns had the weekend off and was not in action a month after defeating Cody Rhodes to retain his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, there was no shortage of action-packed moments that energized the electric crowd.

The Bloodline, represtened by The Usos and Solo Sikoa, defeated Matt Riddle, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a six-man tag-team match. While Jey Uso is still trying to prove that he is not going to turn on his family and "The Tribal Chief," he was nearly met with a Samoan Spike from Sikoa.

Jimmy Uso tried to play peacemaker after the match, as Sikoa looked at Jey Uso with an annoyed scowl.

The Bloodline faction has been on top of WWE for a few years and each week the cracks in the family appear to grow deeper and deeper.
