WrestleMania has always had some type of celebrity involvement with stars from different entertainment genres getting involved in the biggest WWE show of the year.
This year is no different as Johnny Knoxville and Logan Paul are booked for matches.
Last year, Bad Bunny teamed with Damian Priest against The Miz & John Morrison.
Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports, Priest commented on celebrity involvement at WrestleMania and how others in WWE feel about it.
"Being honest, just like the fans, when you see an outsider you [groan]. Just because we're so passionate about it. Not that we have a problem with that person. We're just passionate about our business. We like it being treated as such," Priest said. "Someone like Bad Bunny coming in, of course, there are going to be eye rolls and whatnot. But then you see the other side and it's like, 'Oh, no. He's one of us.' Seeing things like, for instance, we were walking backstage. At that time it was the Thunderdome. Randy Orton stops, because he was crossing like us, he stops and says, 'Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for showing us the respect like no other. People don't usually do it this way and I just want to say thank you and you've earned our respect.' It wasn't even about me. I was just standing there and I thought that was one of the coolest things ever... Bad Bunny actually understood how big that was. He was so humbled by that."
Following his match at WrestleMania, Bad Bunny was officially called a WWE Superstar by Randy Orton.
Priest continued by saying, "I only have the one experience, but it would have to be how much work they want to put in. While it's fun and everything, it's serious business. If you're not trained correctly and not doing everything properly, it can be very dangerous. I would say that's the most challenging part. How are the people coming in? How are they going to co-exist with our world? Johnny [Knoxville] has made multiple appearances. He's been around and so we already know that he fits right in. Plus, he's crazy like the rest of us so that always helps... It's hard for somebody to do just do this and be good at it when they come from another world."
Priest is currently without a match at WrestleMania.
He recently lost the United States Championship to Finn Balor on WWE.
