The Miz, Bad Bunny rocked the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game

Though they were on opposite teams, the two big stars of the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game in L.A. were The Miz and Bad Bunny.

The All-Star Celebrity Softball Game had a distinct WWE flavor to it this year in Los Angeles.

Held every year during the run-up to the MLB All-Star Game, it’s a somewhat silly but entertaining affair that seems to make everyone involved, from the celebrities and ex-baseball and softball stars who play to the broadcasters who call the action, laugh a lot. In true 2022 fashion, the game at Dodger Stadium wasn’t even shown on TV this time out, but was streamed live on Peacock and several other platforms.

For WWE fans, it was worth seeking out because a well-known superstar and the world’s hottest musical artist — who also happens to be an occasional in-ring performer — were prominently involved. The Miz led his side, Team Brooklyn, to a 15-13 victory, not only belting a home run but also inspiring his teammates with his typically enthusiastic bluster.

He was later named the game’s MVP by the fans, an irony not lost on someone who’s spent most of his time in WWE as a heel.

Though he was on the losing side of The Miz’s heroics, the other big star of the event was Bad Bunny. Spotify’s two-time most streamed artist of the year called in some serious assistance during his first two trips to the plate, arranging for baseball legends Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and David Ortiz to hit for him.

But Bad Bunny also took a few cracks at hitting himself later in the game, slapping a pair of singles, which should come as no surprise to anyone who saw the performance he put in at WrestleMania 37 last year.

Of course it’s now back to work for both men, particularly for The Miz, who has a feud bubbling with social media superstar Logan Paul that is set to pay off at SummerSlam in less than two weeks. MLB is moving on to slightly more serious business than the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game as well, with the Home Run Debry taking place on Monday night (against Raw, but oh well) and the All-Star Game itself set for Tuesday, July 19.
