Damian Priest, a WWE SmackDown Superstar, recently discussed the potential for Bad Bunny to rejoin the WWE ring, highlighting his positive view but emphasizing scheduling as a barrier. Priest told TMZ Sports that while he cannot entirely rule out Bad Bunny’s return, conflicting commitments are currently preventing it. This conversation underscores lingering interest from both parties in seeing Bad Bunny wrestle again.
What he’s done, it speaks for itself – the performances, the showmanship, he basically is a WWE Superstar,
Damian Priest said.
Especially in this business, never say never. I’ve talked to him about it, and it’s just scheduling, because obviously, he has a lot going on. But he still has that itch; he loves our business. He’s had more than enough time to recover since our match, so he’s ready to come.

Bad Bunny’s WWE Match History and Recent Commitments
Though many consider Bad Bunny part of the WWE family, he has only fought in four matches to date. His debut match was in 2021, where he defeated R-Truth to win the 24/7 Championship, a title he held during several public appearances. Later that year, Bad Bunny teamed with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania, marking a highlight of his wrestling involvement.
Bad Bunny’s latest appearance in the ring was at the 2023 Backlash event, where he triumphed over Damian Priest in a street fight. Since then, his schedule has become increasingly demanding, underscored by the recent announcement of his role as the headliner for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show. This significant commitment further explains the difficulties in arranging his return to WWE.
Implications and Future Prospects for WWE and Bad Bunny
The possibility of Bad Bunny returning to WWE remains open but uncertain due to his busy schedule and ongoing external projects. Damian Priest’s remarks suggest that while the door is not closed, logistical challenges must be overcome. Bad Bunny’s demonstrated passion for wrestling and the time elapsed since his last match point toward potential future collaborations if timing permits.
The impact of a Bad Bunny return would be notable for WWE, likely attracting considerable attention and crossover appeal given his celebrity status and past strong performances. For fans and the wrestling community, any upcoming announcements about his involvement will be eagerly awaited, as they reflect the blend of entertainment, music, and sport that Bad Bunny uniquely represents.
Damian Priest says Bad Bunny still has the itch to wrestle, scheduling conflicts is what is preventing him currently:
