"He made it really easy" - Top WWE Superstar opens up on working with Bad Bunny at WrestleMania
Judgment Day member Damian Priest paired up with international music sensation Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37. After weeks of bad blood, the former United States Champion and Bad Bunny defeated The Miz and John Morrison in the 2021 WrestleMania tag team match.
Leaving aside Bunny's musical abilities, he was excellent in his first appearance in the wrestling ring, and WWE fans were blown away by him and Priest.
Since it was Damian Priest's first WrestleMania match with a top celebrity after being called up to WWE's main roster, the pressure was allured on him. However, while speaking to Keith Whittier on the Whitty Whittier YouTube channel, the Judgment Day member revealed working with Bad Bunny was an extravaganza experience.
To top it off, Damian Priest also felt so much pressure that it could have held him back. The former US Champion mentioned how he was nervous and just wanted that need to succeed as he was paired with a celebrity.
"But man, he (Bad Bunny) made it really easy because he wasn't just a celebrity that came in to promote something and didn't really care like he's a lifelong fan and this was a part of his dreams. A dream to become a music artist and WWE Superstar, and he would love to achieve that, and when he came, he put in the work," Priest shared. [2:50 - 3:13]
