The Miz Reveals Bad Bunny Allowed His $500,000 Car To Be Spray Painted

On the latest episode of Six Feet Under, The Miz talked about working with Bad Bunny a few years ago as Bunny teamed with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37. The former WWE Champion praised Bad Bunny’s commitment to training. You can check out some highlights below:

On the Match:

“I got a lot of credit for that. I don’t think John Morrison, Damien Priest, as well as Bad Bunny get enough credit for it. Because I remember Bad Bunny training. And this was during COVID times, where we were at the baseball field in Tampa. And every time I would come to the show, he was there early in the ring. And he would be practicing. Then he would go sing at the Grammys. He’d be right back in the ring. He’d go to SNL and he would have the title, the 24/7 title that we — as much as it’s a prestigious title, whatever. It was a fun title, right? It was a ‘Ha ha’ title. But he would have it and hold it and sing on SNL with that title in his arm. And I was like, ‘Man, this dude just loves what we do and gets it.’ And he wanted to do something special. He wanted to do something great.”

On Teaching Bad Bunny:

“I remember they were teaching him. He wanted to learn lock-ups and headlocks. And I was like, ‘Dude, I’m not doing any of that.’ And so when he was doing all that, I was like, ‘You know what? Everyone out of the ring.’ I just gave him heat for like 15 minutes, and I go, ‘Sell this. Because this is what you’re going to be doing a lot of.’

“And the thing is, I also wanted — I feel like a lot of times celebrities, we hide them, you know? We hide their flaws, whatever. I was like, ‘We’re not hiding you. You are literally going to be doing the entire intro. You’re going to be involved in every aspect of this match, because no one will expect it, and everyone will expect you to just come and hit a clothesline and hit this and it’s boring. It’s boring. They want to see you.’ The reason that this crowd is into it, and we have developed this storyline.”

On Spray Painting Bunny’s Car:

“He let us spray paint his $500,000 car. Real spray paint. I remember — yes! And it was his idea. And I was like, ‘Bunny!’ I was like, ‘Man, dude. I’m a little nervous.’ He says, ‘No, no, you spray paint it.’ And I go, ‘Dude.’ He goes, ‘We’ll have someone wash it afterwards.’ I go, ‘It might not come off.’ He goes, ‘It’ll gonna be all right.’ I’ll be like, ‘Oh my God, this guy’s in.’

“So me and Morrison spray painted this $500,000 — I think it was like a Bugatti. And we’re like, spray painting — every week, he’d come in that car. And I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ Spray paint it, and then I remember Ellis just being like, [mimics spray painting], as soon as — ‘Are you done?’ He was standing on the side with [a hose] like, ‘Oh my God.’ He was like waiting. He’s like, ‘3-2-1, we’re done’ [and starts hosing it down]. We got it all off and everything. But still, that’s how into it Bad Bunny was.”

On His Advice To Bunny:

“And then like, Bad Bunny had the happy feet, right? When we were doing we were rehearsing the day before, I was like, ‘Dude, your feet are happy, man. Just remember, just relax. Think about how, like — is a person doing this when they’re strong?’ And he’s like, ‘No, no.’ And he’s like, ‘Okay, good note.’

“So in the match, he started creating stuff in there. He doing like, he’d do something and be like, ‘Awesome!’ I’m like, ‘Yes, the in-betweens!’ That’s where you get the audience. That’s when the audience knows, ‘Hey, this guy, this guy gets it. This guy’s part of us.’”
