Triple H is indeed a visionary.
A few years ago, Grammy award-winning artist Bad Bunny became a regular part of WWE programming. Since his debut at the 2021 Royal Rumble, Bad Bunny made several other appearances for the promotion over the years.
A one-time 24/7 Champion, Bad Bunny also played an integral part in Rey Mysterio’s win against his son at WrestleMania 39. In the same year, he faced off against Damian Priest at Backlash in Puerto Rico.
Generating massive popularity among the wrestling audience, his wrestling career started all because of Triple H. Imitating The Game’s entrance style at a 2021 Miami Heat NBA game, Bunny caught the eyes of the promotion’s Chief Content Officer.
During his appearance on The Roommates Show with Jalen Brunson & Josh Hart, Triple H commented on how he realized Bunny’s potential by watching his NBA game entrance.
That’s one of the first times I realized how big of a WWE star….I obviously knew who he was and his music. I saw that clip and was like, ‘He’s a big WWE fan.’ That’s what started us talking to him.”

The Soy Peor star’s last match was against Priest at Backlash 2023 in a San Juan Street Fight.
Triple H Names His Dream WWE WrestleMania Card
In the same interview on The Roommates Show with Brunson and Josh Hart, Triple H opened up on his dream WrestleMania match card. Naming stars, including John Cena, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, and others, Paul Levesque stated:
Hogan in his prime versus Steve Austin in his prime would have been pretty cool. I don’t know how it would have actually been because the styles were so different, but that would have been pretty special. In their primes, Andre versus Undertaker would be pretty amazing. A prime Bruno Sammartino, who was so massive at the time in the 60’s and 70’s. One of the most famous people on the planet at the time.
Something like 200 sellouts at Madison Square Garden, which is like saying you have 200 pay-per-views that broke box office records now. Prime Bruno Sammartino versus Cena. The crowd reactions and the way they would have worked would have been something special.”
