WWE occasionally brings celebrities for major premium live events. Only a few of them who competed in matches received huge praise from the fans and management.
This year’s WrestleMania featured Snoop Dogg, Bad Bunny, Lil Uzi Vert, KSI, Logan Paul, and many others. Some of them were involved in segments and matches that stole the WWE superstars’ spotlight.
In an interview with Stephen A. Smith, Becky Lynch gave her opinion on celebrities being involved in pro wrestling. Becky acknowledged that their involvement would bring new viewers to wrestling. However, she made it clear that it must be balanced.
“That can be a bit of a problem. Personally, and from a work ethic standpoint, that you put all of this effort into this all year round, and when the big shows come, when the big stadiums come, and there’s 80,000 people, you want to receive your flowers for that hard work you’ve been putting in all year round so that we can do this.
It is fantastic, but it cannot be what this business is. We need those people that are wrestling three, four times a week that can carry this, that are thinking about this constantly, that it is their sole focus. We need that, because yes, the Pat McAfees of the world or the Logan Pauls can have three matches a year or one match and we can put a spotlight on them and give them their kudos and their flowers and say, ‘Well done.’ But this business is hard. This business is so hard and it’s tough, and it’s skill and it’s craft, and without those people that know how to do this in the way that we do it, then it will die.”
