Fans and Critics both praised Grammy Award-Winning Rapper, Bad Bunny, after his in-ring debut at WrestleMania. On Night 1 of WrestleMania 37, Bunny and Damien Priest defeated The Miz and John Morrison.
Despite having no traditional training, Bad Bunny (a lifelong Wrestling Fan) hit some tough moves like the Canadian Destroyer and the Crossbody Splash. His dedication caught the attention of the Viper.
Ahead of his own match against “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt on Night 2, Orton appeared on WWE’s The Bump. He said Bunny’s dedication to an unknown world has won the respect of the locker room.

“For the first time, and maybe not the first time, but for the first time in this manner, I can say that seeing Bad Bunny come into our world, seeing him completely halt his touring schedule, his music, any kind of thing he had going on, he stopped it dead in its tracks so he could get in the ring,” Orton said.
Bad Bunny worked hard for his WrestleMania moment
Bunny worked hard, training five hours a day to be worthy of the WrestleMania stage. Many celebrities believe WWE is only for the show, and they are going to win anyway, but Bunny was not one of them.
Recently, Orton and rapper Soulja Boy had a huge Twitter spat regarding the same topic.
