Bomba Live Host Ray Collazo is joined by CEO of National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce and Wrestling Superfan Joel Berrocal to discuss the Puerto Rican Wrestling takeover over the weekend. Bad Bunny and boricua wrestling stars headlined this weekend's WWE "Backlash" at El Choli in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Collazo and Berrocal discuss Bad Bunny's time in WWE and the buildup to WWE's island return after 19 years.

Collazo and Berrocal analyze the economic and social impact of this Puerto Rican Wrestling Renaissance as spinoff of Benito and the larger Musica Urbana movement. They analyze the performances of Bad Bunny, his opponent and fellow boricua Damian Priest, the Queen Zelina Vega and iconic Puerto Rican Wrestler Savio Vega.

Collazo shares his take on Benito's time in Coachella and what Madison Anderson Berrios' victory on La Casa de Los Famosos means to Puerto Ricans. Berrocal catches us up on latest happenings with National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce.
