Knowing that Bad Bunny is a lifelong wrestling fan, that he’s been training for his WrestleMania 37 match for a while, and that Miz & John Morrison were going to do everything in their power to put him over, you had to believe that this tag match had some potential.

But Bunny blew those expectations out of the water, going well beyond what you would ever expect from a celebrity wrestler. The Grammy winner started slow, with punches and a La Majistral cradle, then added a headscissors and Tornado DDT. He picked it up with stereo Broken Arrows with Damian Priest, and hit a dive off the top to the floor. And then he nailed a Destroyer on Morrison on the floor and pinned Miz after a modified Rockerplex.

Seriously, this was well-scripted and perfectly executed. Kudos to Miz & Morrison for playing their roles well, and Priest got some shine running wild on both men as well. It was nicely done on all fronts.
