Bad Bunny earned Randy Orton's respect backstage

WWE Superstar Randy Orton recently made an appearance on The Bump. The Viper broke character to acknowledge Bad Bunny’s brilliant in-ring debut at WrestleMania. Orton revealed that Bunny worked hard backstage for hours in order to prepare himself for the match. Thus, the Grammy-winning artist won the 14-time world champion’s respect. Here’s what Randy Orton had to say about Bad Bunny:

"We have had a lot of celebrities, over the years since I have been here, come in and try to step into our world and do what we do. Because you know, everyone can do it, right? We make it look easy, but it is not. And for the first time, maybe not the first time, but for the first time in this manner, I can say that seeing Bad Bunny come into our world, seeing him completely halt his touring schedule, his music, and any kind of thing he had going on. He stopped it dead in the tracks so that he can get in the ring."

Bad Bunny teamed up with Damian Priest to take on The Miz and John Morrison in a tag team match at WrestleMania. He emerged victorious and orchestrated several memorable spots. Randy Orton also won his match at WrestleMania after The Fiend fell prey to Alexa Bliss’s distraction.
