Summary

AJ Lee does not sound eager to see more celebrities step into wrestling rings, unless the name is Bad Bunny.

While appearing on Complex's GOAT Talk alongside CM Punk, Lee was asked which celebrity she would most want to see wrestle. Her immediate answer was a simple no, before she made one exception for the music star whose WWE run drew praise for how seriously he approached it.

Quote from AJ Lee

"No one!"

Lee later went on to say:

"I have to support Bad Bunny, but other than Bad Bunny, my answer remains no one."

Quote from CM Punk

"Bad Bunny was a spectacular pro wrestler. This is the biggest, most recognized global pop star in the world and he's a fan and he doesn't want to just come and goof around. He took it seriously and did it."

CM Punk's praise for Bad Bunny

CM Punk backed up Lee's exception by pointing to the way Bad Bunny handled his time in WWE. Punk said the global star did not treat wrestling like a novelty appearance and instead committed to it as a fan who wanted to do it properly.

What AJ Lee's answer says about celebrity wrestling in WWE

Lee's answer keeps the focus on a standard WWE has benefited from in recent years: celebrity involvement lands better when it feels earned. Bad Bunny built that reputation by treating his matches and appearances as more than a cameo, which is part of why his run still stands apart.

That standard also matters heading into major WWE events, where outside names can easily become part of the presentation. With Pat McAfee also remaining involved around WrestleMania season, WWE's celebrity crossover is still part of the conversation, but Lee's comments make clear she only sees value in it when the guest takes the business seriously.
