Bad Bunny Wins San Juan Street Fight At WWE Backlash

by

As well as being a beloved musician, Bad Bunny has recently gotten into the wild world of WWE. A lifelong fan of professional wrestling, Bad Bunny first appeared on the premier wrestling promotion in 2021. In February of that year, Bunny won the WWE 24/7 belt with the help of fellow Puerto Rican wrestler Damian Priest. Bad Bunny held the belt in non-stop promotion for 28 days before trading it to R-Truth for Stone Cold Steve Austin memorabilia.

Because his WWE 24/7 occurred backstage, Bad Bunny wouldn’t make his in-ring debut until Wrestlemania 37 in April. He teamed up with Priest to win a tag-team match against The Miz and John Morrison. He next stepped into the ring at Royal Rumble 2022, finishing fifth in the men’s event. Later that year, Bad Bunny was announced as a pre-order bonus for the wrestling video game WWE 2k23.

Bad Bunny Outlasts Damian Priest

A big ring moment has been in the works for Bad Bunny for some time. At Wrestlemania 39, Bunny abandoned his role as a Spanish-language announcer to intervene in the match between Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Two nights later, while attending Monday Night Raw, Bunny was attacked ringside by former tag-team partner Damian Priest. Priest, now partnering with Dominik Mysterio, was getting payback from Bunny’s intervention. On April 24, Bunny attacked Priest on Raw with a kendo stick. With Priest at his feet, Bunny announced his intention to forgo hosting WWE Backlash in order to fight Priest. That set up a Street Fight Match in Bunny and Priest’s native Puerto Rico.

Priest had the upper hand in the early stages of the fight. But the tables, or should that be chairs, began to turn after Priest hit his signature South of Heaven. Priest pulled Bunny out of the count after his typical finisher, but Bunny flew off the turnbuckle to send Priest to the mat. The two traded blows before Priest feigned a walkout, only to stun Bunny with his own thrown trash can. Priest followed that up by sending Bunny through a pair of tables. As Bunny recovered, chaos broke out as Priest’s Judgement Day partners Finn Bálor & Dominik Mysterio came out into the ring, followed by Rey Mysterio. Bunny then got another ally in Puerto Rican legend Carlito, who helped him clear out Judgement Day. As a small beef war raged on the walkup, Bunny started to lay the hurt on Priest before finally dropping him for the count.

Bad Bunny Hit With Vicious Chokeslam During Monday Night Raw

by

Bad Bunny has become one of the biggest superstars in the entire world. Overall, he has some of the best-selling records in the world right now. He has a global appeal to his music, and there is no doubt that he continues to be a leader in the Latin music scene. Moreover, he appears to be in the midst of a new relationship with Kendall Jenner, which must be nice for him. It should also be mentioned that Bad Bunny is now a prominent name across the WWE. He has even shown his prowess at WrestleMania and other big events.

Wrestling fans can be fickle when it comes to celebrities getting involved in the company. However, Bad Bunny is so good that he always gets a pass. On Saturday, he took part in WrestleMania 39 at SoFi Stadium. He was part of the match between Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio. In the end, Bunny helped the elder Mysterio defeat his son. Although, during Monday Night Raw, the artist came back for more as he came face-to-face with Dominik and his partner Damian Pries. As you will see in the clips below, it did not go well for Bad Bunny.

Bad Bunny Gets Eviscerated

It starts out with the artist dropping Dominik Mysterio on two separate occasions. Subsequently, Priest goes up to the artist and launches him over the barricade that separates the ring from his seat. While Bad Bunny tries to fight back, he gets taken out before being launched through an announcer’s table. The chokeslam was incredibly vicious, although it was great entertainment. In the end, the artist was a good sport about it as he walked away without any serious injuries. Luckily, he won’t have to take any time away from performing concerts.

If this story tells us anything, it is that Bad Bunny can do it all. He sells millions of records, and he can even make WWE fans happy, which is almost impossible. Hopefully, he continues to be part of the company for a long time. Let us know what you think of his recent Monday Night Raw appearance, in the comments down below.

Bad Bunny Stole The Show During His WrestleMania Debut

After months of build and a few physical confrontations with The Miz, fans finally got their first look at rapper, singer, songwriter, and now professional wrestler, Bad Bunny, competing inside a WWE ring at WrestleMania 37.

After Damian Priest teased starting the match, Bad Bunny took the tag and hopped into the ring to square off with Miz. Bunny had his fair share of ups and downs throughout the match, taking the brunt of the beating from Miz and John Morrison, but showed off his fair share of offense before making the hot tag to Priest.

With Priest in the ring, Bunny stole the show, joining his partner to connect on stereo Falcon Arrows before climbing to the top rope and taking out Miz and Morrison on the outside.

Miz dropped Priest with the Skull-Crushing Finale, but Bunny made the save to keep his team in the match. After getting pulled off the apron by Morrison, Bunny laid him out with a Canadian Destroyer. To close out the match, Priest tagged Bunny in, who landed a flying crossbody on Miz to pin the former WWE champion.

It was clear from the opening bell that Bunny had put in a ton of work to get ready for WrestleMania and the match didn’t disappoint. Here’s what Miz told Uproxx earlier this week about Bunny’s work ethic in the build to ‘Mania.

“He loves WWE. He’s a huge, huge fan and he wanted to train. So I guess he’s been training the past couple of months and from what I’ve heard in the locker room, I don’t think any other celebrity has done the work he is doing. He literally came to a WWE ring and trained after winning a Grammy. He went to the Grammy’s, did a performance and then came to WWE ring the next day to train. This guy is dedicated and he’s hardworking.”

WrestleMania 37’s second night takes place on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock.
