Given Bunny’s wrestling fandom and John Cena’s rap past, it’s kind of surprising Bunny hasn’t had the self-proclaimed “Dr. of Thuganomics” feature on one of his songs. The closest thing we have right now is WWE’s reigning 24/7 Champion referencing Cena on his 2020 song “25/8.” “Low key, nunca me dejo ver como John Cena,” Bunny raps, a nod to Cena’s “You can’t see me” catchphrase. Bunny -- who also mentions The Boogeyman on “25/8” -- has a history of name-dropping wrestlers: Ric Flair (“Así Soy Yo”), Eddie Guerrero (“I Like It”), “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (“Chambea”), Triple H (“Está Cabrón Ser Yo”), and The Undertaker (“Estamos Clear,” “Kemba Walker,” and “Tu No Me Metes Cabra”).4. "Booker T" songGetting name-checked in a Bad Bunny song is cool. But you know what’s cooler? Having a Bad Bunny song named after you. And Booker T is the lone wrestler to receive that honor to date. The eponymous “Booker T” sees Bunny boast “Soy un rey, campeon” like the former King of the Ring winner and six-time World Champion.

Eddie Guerrero tribute in “I Like It”This Billboard chart-topping collaboration with Cardi B and J Balvin not only helped put Bunny on the mainstream pop map stateside, it also put the name Eddie Guerrero on the radio. Bunny raps “Guerrero como Eddie, que viva la raza” on the 2018 salsa trap track -- paying tribute to the late, great Mexican-American wrestler and his famous catchphrase. In the accompanying music video, Bunny takes the Latino Heat tribute a step further by imitating Guerrero’s shoulder shimmy.
