Bad Bunny has proven himself inside of a WWE ring, which is something Big E. respects.
Speaking on a recent episode of the “Battleground Podcast,” The New Day member praised the rapper for his knowledge of and respect for the professional wrestling business and not doing it strictly for the money.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Bunny’s enjoyment of his WWE work: “I’m not knocking any celebrity who comes in, takes a paycheck, and does what they’re asked, that’s fine. But you can tell with him, it’s so much more than that. He’s a guy who truly loves this. I think pro wrestling was his first love and grew up watching WWE. For me, it’s so dope and amazing to see someone like him, who is a massive, massive star, and comes in so humbly and so energetically to do what we do.”
On the effort Bunny puts into the work: “He’s come in and worked incredibly hard and his passion for this. I saw an interview, I think it was for Carpool Karaoke, where he said the WrestleMania match, I think he described it as ‘the best day of his life.’”
Bad Bunny will be hosting the WWE Backlash 2023 pay-per-view event, which takes place on Saturday, May 6, from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
