Despite headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show not guaranteeing a spot in WWE WrestleMania 42, WWE is actively considering the idea. According to WrestleVotes Radio reported by Fightful Select, the company has been
“gauging Bad Bunny’s interest and availability for WrestleMania.”
Discussions between WWE and Bad Bunny’s representatives date back well before his Super Bowl performance, as Fightful notes,
“WWE had been in contact with Bad Bunny’s reps well in advance of his Super Bowl performance.”
Scheduling Alignments Create Opportunity for Bad Bunny at WrestleMania
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled for April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Conveniently, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour features a break from March 7 through May 22, leaving him available during the event. This opens the possibility for Bad Bunny to return to the ring, potentially facing fellow celebrity-turned-wrestler Logan Paul.
The Puerto Rican artist last wrestled at WWE’s 2023 Backlash Premium Live Event (PLE), where he defeated Damian Priest in a memorable San Juan Street Fight. Their match stood out, not just for its intensity, but also because both performers share Puerto Rican heritage and the event took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Reviewing Bad Bunny’s WWE In-Ring History
Bad Bunny’s debut in WWE began at WrestleMania 37, where he partnered with Damian Priest to defeat John Morrison and The Miz in a tag team match. The following year, Bad Bunny surprised fans with an entry in the Royal Rumble at number 27. During that match, he lasted nearly eight minutes, eliminating Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus before being ousted by eventual winner Brock Lesnar.
Potential Impact of Bad Bunny’s Appearance at WrestleMania 42
Bad Bunny’s possible involvement in WrestleMania 42 would carry significant fan interest, blending the worlds of music and sports entertainment on a major stage. It would also continue his journey in WWE, which has already produced memorable moments showcasing both his charisma and athleticism. Given his availability and WWE’s ongoing discussions, Bad Bunny’s ring return at WrestleMania 42 could be a compelling storyline to watch.
