Bad Bunny showed WWE fans a bit more than they probably hoped to see in a photo as he prepared for his WrestleMania tag match, teaming with Damian Priest against The Miz and John Morrison. A Bad Bunny WrestleMania match ‘injury’ leaked.
Drew McIntyre told TMZ, “Realistically, this is going to draw a lot of new eyes. He’s not somebody that’s just showing up for a paycheck. He doesn’t have to. He’s done pretty well in his chosen field of music, [he] won a Grammy.”
“He’s there week in, week out. I’ve been observing him from afar, he has a genuine passion for this. He’s putting the work in, he’s training almost every single day.”
Damian Priest told WFLA, “Every week, multiple days a week, we’re in the ring together,” said Priest. “I’ll tell you what, come WrestleMania, he’s going to surprise some people, he’s taking it seriously. The one thing he’s been adamant about is making sure he got everybody’s respect, he earned everybody’s respect.”
He added, “The other day I was pumping gas and somebody came up to me. It’s not uncommon to have fans coming up to you, but what he said was different, which was ‘thank you,’” recalled Priest. “He thanked me for showing light on our community, our Hispanic community.”
“He [the fan] was like, ‘thanks, you do a lot of us proud. It’s cool that you guys are speaking Spanish on TV and wearing the flag and just making the world know of our culture, putting more eyes on us.’ I thought that was cool. By that same token, I look forward to, especially at WrestleMania, is to have those eyes stay with us.”
