WWE has always liked live musical performances at their big events, but we haven't seen that for quite some time. That will change this Sunday at the Royal Rumble as Bad Bunny will perform his hit single "Booker T" live for the first time for the WWE Universe.
Bad Bunny is a lifelong WWE fan, so it's evident that he's excited to perform this Sunday. The musical artist's recent album, "El Último Tour Del Mundo", debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The crossover with WWE could bring new eyes to the Royal Rumble this Sunday on the WWE Network.
Will Booker T be at the WWE Royal Rumble this Sunday?
The song Bad Bunny will be performing is a homage to the WWE Hall of Famer and five-time WCW Champion himself, Booker T. It makes an appearance from Booker T this Sunday all the more likely.
The following is a press release from WWE regarding the announcement...
