Bad Bunny is unquestionably the greatest celebrity to step into the ring, at least according to WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry.
Bunny made his in-ring debut during WrestleMania 37, where he teamed with Damian Priest to defeat John Morrison & The Miz, and impressed fans with his skills.
The Grammy Award-winner would compete in the 2022 Men’s Royal Rumble match, and most recently defeated Priest at WWE Backlash 2023 in the San Juan Street Fight.
Speaking on “Busted Open Radio,” Henry said that Bunny has overshadowed any other celebrity who has competed for WWE. He said,
“Bad Bunny is the greatest, the absolute, no peers whatsoever, greatest celebrity wrestler of all time. There is nobody close. Lawrence Taylor is right there, Pat McAfee did a hell of a job. But Bad Bunny is on another level.
“The dude emotionally got that crowd in a frenzy … You said it could’ve been the main event. Do you mean to tell me that a celebrity could main event over Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes? Yeah.
“How can you argue that he is not the greatest? That was some incredible wrestling … I said that match with him and Priest was going to be good, because it had to. I had no idea that Bunny had this in him. I’m going to step off the box, but nobody is close. Better than Andy Kaufman.”
WWE has been enjoying a string of impressive celebrity matches as of late, with the likes of Pat McAfee and Logan Paul consistently delivering when they are in the ring.
WrestleMania 38 in April 2022 saw Jackass star Johnny Knoxville entertain fans with his match against Sami Zayn.
