"He earned my respect" - 2-time WWE Champion hails Bad Bunny for impressive in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37
At WrestleMania 37, Bad Bunny shocked the WWE Universe with his jaw-dropping performance. He teamed up with Damian Priest to lock horns with The Miz and John Morrison in a tag team match at the pay-per-view.
Bad Bunny came prepared for the WrestleMania match and stole the show with his creative in-ring maneuvers. Several fans have even gone as far as saying that Bad Bunny delivered the best WWE match featuring a celebrity.
Following the match, Miz and Morrison revealed that Bad Bunny had earned their respect after their WrestleMania match.
"The last time I checked we are the greatest tag team of the 21st century. This match wasn't about preparation. It is about respect. It goes to show that maybe hard work does pay off. I can't believe I am actually going to say this, he gained my respect."
John Morrison agreed with The Miz, but he also added that Bad Bunny had a little bit of luck on his side during the match.
"He came in with work ethic, he put in a ton of hard work. But there's the luck factor. Could have something to do with it."
Miz and Morrison started feuding with Bad Bunny at Royal Rumble. They engaged in several altercations on various episodes of RAW thereafter, which eventually led to their WrestleMania match.
