Bad Bunny received widespread praise for his performances during his WWE run, and John Morrison says the music superstar put considerable effort into making sure he respected professional wrestling.
During a recent appearance on The Wrestling Classic, Morrison reflected on working with Bad Bunny and praised both his personality and dedication to learning the craft despite already being one of the world’s biggest music stars. “Bad Bunny, to me, was the nicest, most humble guy ever,” Morrison said. “He doesn’t have to be because he’s such a huge star. He’s even bigger now than he was in 2021.”
Morrison said Bad Bunny’s genuine passion for professional wrestling was a major reason he took his WWE involvement so seriously. “He was such a big fan of wrestling, and he wanted to make sure that he didn’t disrespect the art form,” he said.
That commitment reportedly extended well beyond simply showing up for his scheduled appearances. According to Morrison, Bad Bunny rearranged his professional schedule and temporarily lived in Orlando so he could train at the WWE Performance Center. “So he canceled some of his shows and made time to live in Orlando for a while so he could go to the [WWE Performance Center] and train,” Morrison said. “He earned it, man. He put the time in.”
Morrison also had nothing but positive things to say about how Bad Bunny conducted himself around those working with him in WWE. “He was fantastic. He was nice to everybody. I can’t say more good things about Bad Bunny.”
Bad Bunny made his WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37 in 2021, teaming with Damian Priest against Morrison and The Miz. He returned to compete in the 2022 Men’s Royal Rumble before facing Priest in a San Juan Street Fight at WWE Backlash in Puerto Rico in 2023.
More recently, speculation has emerged regarding Bad Bunny potentially becoming involved with AAA, WWE’s Mexico-based lucha libre promotion.
While it remains to be seen whether Bad Bunny will step back inside a wrestling ring, Morrison’s comments underline the level of preparation that went into the performances that earned the Grammy-winning artist considerable praise from wrestling fans and performers alike.
