Cody Rhodes Says Bad Bunny Is No Longer a Celebrity Wrestler — He’s Just a Wrestler

Cody Rhodes has a clear opinion on where Bad Bunny stands in WWE history — and it goes well beyond the celebrity category. Speaking with NBC Chicago, the Undisputed WWE Champion made the case that the Grammy Award-winning artist has transcended the guest appearance label entirely.

“I would say Bad Bunny is — I hope I don’t offend anybody — the best celebrity wrestler WWE ever had,” Rhodes said. “If you ever want to know what WWE, an event is like, Puerto Rico, him versus Damian Priest — it’s one of the greatest entrances in all of sports, and he had a huge part in WWE coming there.”

Rhodes Hopes Bad Bunny Is Part of WWE’s Return to Puerto Rico

Rhodes also spoke about WWE’s global ambitions and flagged Puerto Rico as a destination the company should prioritize. “As WWE looks to make its way back around the globe, hopefully Puerto Rico is definitely a spot we go to because it has a really rich wrestling history,” he said. “I hope he’s part of it again because he’s no longer a celebrity wrestler. He’s just a wrestler, and a really good one.” Bad Bunny defeated Damian Priest in a San Juan Street Fight at Backlash 2023 in what became one of the most celebrated celebrity matches in company history.
