Rapper Bad Bunny teamed up with Damian Priest and faced off against the team of The Miz and John Morrison in a tag team match on Night One of WrestleMania 37. Bad Bunny’s performance surpassed all expectations as he put on a performance of a lifetime in the match, ultimately resulting in a win for his team. A gross backstage picture of Bad Bunny was also recently released.
The match was previously going to be a singles match between The Miz and Bad Bunny until it became a tag team affair. It seems there was a reason for the change, as two wrestlers were already injured going into the match.
On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that Damian Priest had a bad back and there was no guarantee that he would be able to compete at WrestleMania 37.
“Priest has a bad back so that’s perhaps some of it. I guess the reason why they were talking about a singles match was because of Priest’s injury. I thought it was Morrison’s injury, but I guess it’s Priest’s injury. He was just cleared, I was told ‘last minute.’ I don’t know if ‘last minute’ means last week, but I was told it was touch and go. That’s what I was told today is that it was touch and go.”
