Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny appeared on WWE television in the first four months of 2021. He teamed up with Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37 in a match that was widely praised by fans.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Liam Power, Priest discussed his reaction when he found out he was working with the celebrity.
Bad Bunny’s debut was considered by many to be one of the best WWE in-ring performances by a celebrity.
Damian Priest believes his former tag team partner’s positive attitude and respect for the business were vital to his success.
WWE fans often boo celebrity guests, usually because they take up television time from their favorite superstars. However, Priest thinks Bad Bunny won over both the locker room and WWE’s loyal fanbase due to his impressive performances.
