Some fans on social media have asked why Booker T was not in Puerto Rico for WWE Backlash. Booker explained why on his podcast.
“The reason I wasn’t there was because the Kickoff panel didn’t go. That’s the only reason I didn’t go. Trust me, I was trying to get there, but none of us went on that trip. I won’t be on another trip until SummerSlam because everything is pretty much on location in different places, so right now, I’m off until Summer Slam. I’m still going to vacation, but I’m just going to do it on my own time.”
It’s common for WWE to have the pre-show hosts do the show out of the studios on Stamford, CT whenever they are overseas. The same will be true for Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
