While he’d gotten physical in the previous year’s Royal Rumble, Bad Bunny wasn’t an official entrant in that match, plus it took place in the soul-sapping Thunderdome setting.

Skip ahead to 2022, though, and The Dome at America's Center saw Bad Bunny stroll into the Rumble in the oft-successful #27 spot. Even better for the rapper-turned-wrestler, he chalked up a couple of eliminations in the shape of Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler. And then, well then he ran into the wall known as Brock Lesnar.

The Beast Incarnate had just eliminated Randy Orton, and would soon manhandle Matt Riddle over the top rope, but Brock took a moment out to deliver a monumental F5 to Bad Bunny before sending him packing back to his Grammy Awards-winning day job.
