The main celebrity involvement at WrestleMania 27 (if one doesn't count The Rock) came in the form of Snooki, the diminutive party girl from MTV's Jersey Shore. She would team with Tough Enough trainer Trish Stratus and roster-regular John Morrison against Dolph Ziggler, Michelle McCool, and Layla in a six-person tag that would act as bridge to the main event.

Reportedly, Morrison was among a number of wrestlers that took issue with the two non-full-timers taking spots from the year-round female performers. When the match was over, Morrison stoically brushed off an embrace from Stratus. Shortly thereafter, Stratus confirmed that Morrison intentionally gave her the cold shoulder.

A Wrestling Observer report claims that when it came time to design the match, Stratus appeared to be more concerned with getting her spots in and trying to be the "star" of the match. That said, most of the heat went Morrison's way in the aftermath for his aloofness.
