Brian Kendrick reveals his role in helping Bad Bunny get ready for Backlash.
Just days after the Backlash premium live event, Fightful Select came out with a report that discussed Brian Kendrick's role in the San Juan Street Fight between Bad Bunny and Damian Priest. In the report, Fightful Select noted that Kendrick did not produce the match between the two, but rather aided in the process of getting Bunny ready for match ahead of time.
On the latest edition of the Hitting The Turnbuckle podcast, Brian Kendrick stopped by and confirmed the report. Kendrick noted that he was brought back to help train Bunny for the match at Backlash simply because of the fact that he had helped Bunny during his first WWE match at WrestleMania 37.
“It was for the Bad Bunny and Damian Priest match. The company brought me in, but it was because a few years back when they had their tag match, I worked with them. I think because of the comfort level we had built with Bunny and I, they requested me to come back for that.”
Kendrick went on to note that he things both Bunny and Logan Paul are very motivated and that both of them want to be good at wrestling.
“Yeah, I haven’t met Logan but I think both of them are very motivated. They want to be good at this. I know Bunny put in a lot of training, he was training for months. I thought the match was awesome.”
Bunny recently reflected on the highly praised match in a post on Instagram. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
