With Super Bowl XL just around the corner and global superstar Bad Bunny set to headline the halftime show, wrestling fans may have even more to celebrate. According to multiple reports, the Grammy-winning artist and WWE fan-favourite could be returning to the squared circle sooner than expected.
Bad Bunny Rumoured to Return to WWE Very Soon
While Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego recently tried to pitch Bad Bunny to AEW, asking Tony Khan to bring him in for appearances, it turns out Bunny might already have something bigger in the works—with WWE.
On Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez reported that Bad Bunny is expected to return to WWE “sooner rather than later.” This news comes just days before Bunny takes centre stage at the NFL Super Bowl XL Halftime Show, placing him right back in the spotlight ahead of WWE’s biggest event of the year—WrestleMania 42.
Perfect Timing for a WrestleMania Comeback
Looking at Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour schedule, there’s a noticeable break between March 2 and late May, which lines up perfectly with the Road to WrestleMania. WrestleMania 42 is scheduled for April in Las Vegas, giving Bunny the time and platform to make another massive WWE appearance—or even compete again.
WWE has a history of capitalising on Bunny’s star power during WrestleMania season, and with him already proven in the ring, a return this year feels more than likely.
A Look Back: Bad Bunny’s WWE Journey So Far
Bad Bunny’s love for professional wrestling isn’t a gimmick—he’s proven that he’s serious about it. Here’s a quick timeline of his wrestling highlights:
| Year | Event | Highlight |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Royal Rumble | Performed “Booker T” and got involved in the match |
| 2021 | WrestleMania 37 | Teamed with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz & John Morrison |
| 2022 | Royal Rumble | Surprise entrant, eliminated by Brock Lesnar |
| 2023 | WWE Backlash (Puerto Rico) | Defeated Damian Priest in a Street Fight |
His WrestleMania 37 match especially received widespread praise for his in-ring skills, showing the world he wasn’t just a celebrity cameo—he was the real deal.
Could Bad Bunny Compete at WrestleMania 42?
If his schedule lines up and WWE makes the call, it’s entirely possible we could see Bad Bunny wrestle at WrestleMania 42. The company has previously used celebrity appearances to boost mainstream attention, and with Bunny’s unmatched crossover appeal, his return would be a headline-grabber.
Some potential directions include:
- Teaming with Rey Mysterio or LWO for a high-energy tag match
- Renewing his feud with Damian Priest or Judgment Day
- A surprise Royal Rumble-style appearance or musical performance
- A special guest host role for the WrestleMania event
WWE Has Kept the Door Open for Bunny’s Return
WWE has always left the door open for Bad Bunny’s return, and with his previous appearances being both fan-pleasing and media-friendly, it makes perfect sense to bring him back for another WrestleMania moment. Plus, having him perform or wrestle in front of a global audience in Las Vegas only adds to the spectacle.
Whether he steps into the ring or grabs a mic, Bad Bunny’s WWE comeback is shaping up to be one of the most exciting celebrity returns in recent wrestling memory.
