Kenny King wrestles Arie during Bachelor group date: ‘This one’s for Peter’
By Ruby Maxwell
The girls will join Bachelor Arie on a wrestling group date Monday night that includes a special appearance by former Bachelorette contestant Kenny King.
Kenny “Pretty Boy Pit Bull” King was a fan favorite on Rachel Lindsay’s season of the Bachelorette, and now we’ll have a chance to see the pro wrestler join Arie Luyendyk on a group date.
One of the Bachelor week 3 (January 15) group dates takes place in a Los Angeles wrestling arena. Eight women will get in the ring to fight for the Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor championship belt.
Ladies aside, can we talk about Arie getting in the ring with Kenny King. We all know Kenny is a total sweetheart, but would we want to go up against him in a wrestling match? No.
There’s no doubt Arie was not thrilled about this part of the date. After all, he had to fight a pro in front of eight of the ladies he’s dating. Judging from the picture below, Kenny took Arie down. (Why is Arie wearing dress pants in the ring?)
To top off the match, Kenny will give a shout-out to his former Bachelorette cast-mate, Peter Kraus — “This one’s for Peter!”

Kraus who was the runner-up on Rachel’s season. Many fans expected Peter to be the Bachelor this season, but some fail to understand that Arie didn’t take the gig from him.
Peter turned it down and apparently said no to an offer to be part of the Bachelor Winter Games cast.
We’re certain Kenny was prodded by producers to say “This one’s for Peter.” He doesn’t seem like a negative kind of guy.
Despite all the smack talking Lee Garrett did during Rachel’s season, Kenny was a complete gentleman when they were face to face on the Men Tell All last year.
Here’s a sneak peek of Monday night’s wrestling group date.
