In a noteworthy development, Fightful Select's report in November 2022 unveiled that Kalisto, a former WWE talent, had been actively engaged at NXT live events for the week, where he had taken on the dual roles of a guest coach and a producer. ## His presence had been felt throughout the WWE Performance Center as he provided invaluable coaching and guidance to the aspiring wrestlers. However, it was during the Friday night live event that Kalisto truly shone, as he had assumed the pivotal role of a producer, overseeing the women's matches with finesse and expertise. ## Furthermore, in an interview with renowned wrestling personality Renee Paquette on The Sessions, Samuray Del Sol confirmed his exciting opportunity to work as a producer for NXT. He enthusiastically shared his experiences and contributions in this esteemed role, shedding light on how he had brought a fresh and dynamic perspective to the wrestling industry. This new chapter in Kalisto and Samuray Del Sol's careers as producers in NXT undoubtedly added a new level of impressiveness to their already illustrious wrestling journeys. ## "I got an opportunity to train as a coach on NXT. Seeing that view from that side, I learned a lot more. I produced two matches. It was great. Me, Terry Taylor, and Norman (Smiley) as producers. From that view, and producing a match, it was great. I learned so much," he said. ## I'm a hands-on person. So when I was in there, I like showing the moves and bumping for them. The stuff they're doing now, it's great. Being on that side of the producing team, it made me realize that if I was producing myself, I would be like, 'Be more happy, jump, do something on this time. Lucha, lucha, right time.' I would correct myself and my timings from the beginning to the end. I would critique myself and see my own self back when I started at NXT and be like, 'Don't be nervous.' I would say to myself, 'More character.' I was screaming, I lost my voice the whole time. I was really excited to work with everybody in NXT." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

The 18th Backlash professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event, produced by the WWE, is eagerly anticipated by fans. The event will feature talented wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions, and is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6, 2023, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. ## This event is of great significance as it will be the first WWE event held in Puerto Rico since New Year's Revolution in January 2005. Additionally, it is only the second Backlash event to be held outside the continental United States since the 2004 event. ## After the last two years featured events titled "WrestleMania Backlash," the 2023 event will return to its original name while still retaining its post-WrestleMania concept. This year's Backlash will focus on the backlash stemming from WrestleMania 39. ## Furthermore, the event will feature the highly anticipated appearance of Puerto Rican native and Grammy Award-winning rapper, Bad Bunny. Initially promoted as the host of Backlash, it was later revealed that he will be competing in a San Juan Street Fight against Damian Priest, who is also of Puerto Rican descent.
