Bad Bunny ranks among the most-streamed musicians globally and made his wrestling debut at WrestleMania 37, partnering with Damian Priest to face John Morrison and The Miz.
At WWE Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny raised the stakes by defeating Priest in a San Juan Street Fight.
While speaking at The Ankler’s Business of Entertainment program at NAB Show, WWE President Nick Khan lavished praise on Bunny. He said,
“We think Bad Bunny set a new bar in terms of celebrities who want to come into wrestling. That guy put in the work. If you saw his match or remember his match, he did everything asked of him and beyond. He was early, showed up, set a new bar for us where everyone else who comes into it is expected to be held up to that standard. To their credit, they have been.”
He continued, “I ran into Bad Bunny at some unrelated sporting event after he did the match with us and the first thing he said to me was, ‘Brother, I’ve watched my match 50 times. I still can’t believe you guys let me do it.’ I said to him, ‘We can’t believe you did it to the level you did.’ That match was incredible.”
It remains uncertain if or when Bad Bunny will return to the WWE ring.
