How A WrestleMania 37 Match Almost Didn’t Happen

What could have not been. There have been a lot of stories taking place in wrestling this year, to the point where you might not remember every major thing that has taken place. With so many things going on, it can be easy to forget some of the things that have happened, no matter how big they might have been at the time. Now we are learning a bit more about a pretty big angle.

Monday Night Raw’s Damian Priest was recently a guest on the Battleground podcast and discussed his partnership with Bad Bunny, which included a tag match at WrestleMania 37. According to Priest, the plan for the tag match was dropped the day before the Royal Rumble, only to be switched back the next day. Priest said that Triple H told him about the change, with Bunny saying that he wanted to work with Priest personally. Bunny and Priest would defeat Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania.

Priest debuted on the main roster at the Royal Rumble, where Miz and Morrison destroyed Bunny’s DJ equipment. As a result, Bunny distracted the two of them later in the Royal Rumble, allowing Priest to eliminate both of them. The two teams would continue to feud for several months, leading to to WrestleMania. Priest has continued wrestling on Monday Night Raw and will challenge Sheamus for the US Title at Summerslam.

These two did work well together. Check out Priest and Bunny together in WWE:

Opinion: It says a lot to have someone stand up for you like Bunny did for Priest, as Bunny could have worked with anyone he wanted to at WrestleMania. Pries is someone who could be a major player on any WWE roster for a long time to come and it was great to see WWE give someone that much of a chance right off the bat. It should be interesting to see where he goes from here, but Bunny had a big hand in starting him off.
