#4 WWE Superstar The Miz reveals what he refused to do in his match at WrestleMania 37

Everything about their WrestleMania match was incredible

WWE Superstar The Miz teamed up with John Morison to take on Damian Priest and Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37. This match saw Bunny make the best in-ring debut by a celebrity in WWE history, and everyone praised him for his incredible efforts. One of the match's highlights was Bad Bunny’s picture-perfect Canadian Destroyer that sent the entire WWE Universe into a frenzy.

In a recent interview, The Miz said that he was initially supposed to be involved in the spot, but he refused. The A-Lister was skeptical about the dangers, and eventually, Morrison was subjected to the highly impressive maneuver. However, upon seeing Bad Bunny’s Canadian Destroyer, The Miz was left in awe. Here’s what he said:

"When they brought it up, I was like, 'Absolutely not.' One, because I can't even do a Canadian Destroyer, let alone Bad Bunny doing one. But man, that was an incredible move. And the way John got hit with it, I was in awe," said The Miz.

After the match, Bad Bunny returned to his work of creating more music while Damian Priest continued his feud with The Miz and Morrison on WWE RAW. Most recently, Priest defeated The A-Lister at WrestleMania Backlash, following which the zombies ate the former world champion.
