Bad Bunny might be a successful recording artist and multi-Grammy winner, but Santos Escobar sees him as a WWE Superstar first.
Speaking on the “Under the Ring” podcast for a new interview ahead of Backlash 2023, Escobar praised Bunny’s work in WWE and stated that the rapper’s commitment to excelling in the squared circle has earned his respect. He said,
“Everyone says Bad Bunny is this recording artist and multi-Grammy winner. He’s none of that to me. He’s a WWE Superstar. He has shown respect, commitment, love, and admiration for what we do. The only way I can repay that is with respect. He earned his way into the WWE ring.”
“He has the most difficult task of his WWE career when he faces Damian Priest. I’ve faced Damian Priest. It won’t be easy. I’m sure Bad Bunny is going to have everything he needs to defeat Damian Priest. If Judgment Day decides to show up, LWO is going to be there.”
Bad Bunny will battle Damian Priest at WWE Backlash 2023 on Saturday in a San Juan Street Fight.
