The Miz Praises Bad Bunny’s Wrestling Dedication

The Miz is once again giving credit to Bad Bunny, saying the reggaeton superstar showed more dedication to learning professional wrestling than any other celebrity he’s worked with in the business. The comments center on Bad Bunny’s run-up to WrestleMania 37, where he teamed with Damian Priest to take on the team of Miz and John Morrison.

According to Miz, Bad Bunny’s commitment to preparing for that match stood out above every other crossover star who has stepped into a WWE ring. Despite being a musician with no prior in-ring background, Bad Bunny ended up playing a significant role in the outcome of the match, a testament to how seriously he treated the assignment.

Bad Bunny’s WrestleMania appearance was one of the more talked-about celebrity crossovers in recent WWE history. Rather than serving as a prop for a segment or a one-off cameo, he was worked into a full tag team match with real stakes, aligned with Priest during Priest’s early singles push, and pitted against two established in-ring veterans in Miz and Morrison. That the match required Bad Bunny to be a genuine contributor to the finish — not just window dressing — speaks to how much trust the promotion and his opponents put in his preparation.

Celebrity involvement at WrestleMania is nothing new; WWE has leaned on outside stars for shock value and mainstream press for decades, from Mr. T to Floyd Mayweather to Pete Rose. But those spots often invite skepticism from wrestling fans, who can tell the difference between someone who treats the art form with respect and someone just cashing in for a paycheck and a headline. Miz, who has been on the business side of several celebrity programs over the years, is in as good a position as anyone to make that distinction, and his praise for Bad Bunny carries weight precisely because he’s worked directly across the ring from him.

It also underscores something WWE has clearly valued in Bad Bunny beyond his star power: a willingness to put in the physical and technical work that legitimate wrestlers respect. That kind of buy-in from a global music star doesn’t just make for a better match — it makes it easier for WWE to bring him back for future crossover appearances, and it reinforces the credibility of the built-in trope that WrestleMania season is where mainstream celebrities can be tested by the roster and, if they pass, embraced by it.

Miz’s comments are a reminder of how memorable that WrestleMania 37 tag match remains years later, not just as a novelty booking but as a genuine talking point about effort and respect for the craft. Whether Bad Bunny steps back into a WWE ring again remains to be seen, but if he does, he’ll do so with an endorsement from one of the promotion’s most experienced hands.
