What's better than one night of WrestleMania? The answer is obviously two.

And that's the treat wrestling fans are in for this weekend, as the WWE will host the 37th edition of its crown jewel event across two nights at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. There are 14 total matches scheduled, and all of them will take place before a crowd of about 25,000 fans.

WWE superstar and former champion The Miz joined The DA Show on Thursday to preview WrestleMania 37, and break down his upcoming celebrity tag-team match against rapper Bad Bunny.

"It all started when Bad Bunny had a performance at Royal Rumble," The Miz said. "And I feel like when you are backstage and you are in our locker room, you show an immense amount of respect. I felt like I was slighted by Bad Bunny and it kind of escalated from there. And let's face it, Bad Bunny has overstayed his welcome. It's one thing to do a performance, it's another thing to keep coming back, week after week after week.

"And trust me, I know how big Bad Bunny is. I know he's one of the biggest recording artists in the world. I know he just won a Grammy. But I feel like a person like that should stay in his lane. When you come into WWE and you come into my territory, my world and you don't show me the respect I feel I deserve, things will happen...

"I'll tell you what, I can't wait for WrestleMania to have a live audience, to have live human beings there... WWE has done a tremendous job with the ThunderDome, with the virtual audience. As a matter of fact, they've done such a great job, that other shows have copied what we've been doing... WWE has done a great job at making it feel like a live audience, but it's a virtual crowd. Now at WrestleMania, there's going to live human beings. I'm going to able to feel that energy because that's what we feed off of and that's what we live for. So, I can't wait. I'm super excited."

Both nights (April 10-11) of WrestleMania 37 coverage will begin at 7 p.m. ET on Peacock, with the main cards scheduled for 8 p.m.
