  • WWE champion Damian Priest told TMZ Sports he would join Bad Bunny onstage and said he is willing to learn dance steps, noting their past work together in WWE.
  • DHS confirmed that ICE agents will be on site for the event, and adviser Corey Lewandowski said authorities would locate and deport those in the country illegally, according to Excélsior.
