Bad Bunny Might Be The Greatest Celebrity Wrestler

Earlier in the year, Bad Bunny made an appearance on Hot Ones and spoke candidly about his time spent working in the WWE.
He talked about how a spot which saw Damian Priest hitting him with a kendo stick was the most painful thing he did, claiming he believed they didn't hurt as a kid because its a "little wooden stick".
Bunny also laid out the claim that he is the greatest WWE celebrity wrestler ever, after Sean Evans said it was his opinion that Bad Bunny was the best. Bad Bunny responded, "That is a fact."
Working in the WWE, Bad Bunny has had three total matches.
- WrestleMania 37 with Damian Priest vs. The Miz & John Morrison.
- Competing in the 2022 Royal Rumble match.
- Backlash 2023 in a San Juan Street Fight against Priest.
Despite only having three total performances, many fans and fellow wrestlers have given Bad Bunny appreciation for taking the sport seriously and putting in the effort.
