Logan Paul has hinted at the possibility of settling his differences with Bad Bunny inside the WWE wrestling ring after recent public interactions. During the February 17 episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Paul expressed admiration for Bad Bunny’s wrestling ability and revealed that discussions about a match between them have taken place, calling it a potential
“greatest WWE match of all time.”
Paul stated,
“Let’s peel back the f***ing curtain. I’m going to stop f***ing around. Bad Bunny is a world-renowned superstar,”
followed by,
“He also can be a WWE superstar when he wants. He’s a good wrestler. He can f***ing wrestle.”
He added,
“There have been talks about maybe us wrestling. It’s been floated around. I’ve been candid about the fact that I’d love to do it. I think it would be the greatest WWE match of all time. I really believe that.”
Background of Their Public Exchanges and Controversies
Earlier in February, Logan Paul stirred some controversy when he curtly denied being excited for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance during a red carpet interview in San Francisco. Addressing the moment on his podcast, Paul described his reaction as partly genuine and partly performative, admitting,
“That was kind of a work, but not really,”
and acknowledging he was an “ass” on the red carpet.
In a Sports Illustrated interview, Paul explained his lack of enthusiasm for halftime shows generally, saying,
“On the red carpet when I was asked, ‘Are you excited for the halftime show?’ I can’t remember the last halftime show I’ve been excited for,”
and
“I don’t even know if I’m paying attention for most of the game. Like, I’m working, I’m mingling and stuff.”
Wrestling Credentials of Both Logan Paul and Bad Bunny
Logan Paul is currently an active WWE wrestler, having debuted his in-ring performance at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. His progression in the wrestling world has been closely watched due to his high-profile social media presence.
Bad Bunny, a lifelong wrestling fan, has also appeared multiple times inside the WWE ring, most notably defeating Damian Priest at WWE Backlash in May 2023. This victory took place in front of an enthusiastic crowd in his native Puerto Rico, highlighting his passion and skill in wrestling.
Logan Paul Weighs In on the NFL and Bad Bunny Halftime Show Debate
The halftime show performed by Bad Bunny at Super Bowl LX sparked debate on social media, especially after Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, called Bad Bunny
“a fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America.”
Logan responded firmly, calling out his brother’s comment and stating,
“I love my brother but I don’t agree with this,”
and emphasizing,
“Puerto Ricans are Americans & I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”
Jake Paul later clarified his remarks, explaining,
“To clarify: I wasn’t calling anyone a ‘fake citizen’ because they’re from Puerto Rico. I live in Puerto Rico, and I love Puerto Rico. I have used my platform to support Puerto Rico time and time again and will always do so.”
Logan also highlighted the public confusion between him and his brother, saying,
“And it complicates things because people confuse us. They already think we’re the same person. I’ll walk outside right now and get called ‘Jake’ five times. He’ll go outside in the Netherlands and get called ‘Logan.’”
Then adding,
“I felt in this scenario I had to put my flag in the sand,”
and “And I’m glad I did.”
Reception of Bad Bunny’s Halftime Performance and Its Cultural Impact
Despite the divisive comments, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show received widespread praise for its complex staging and its many cultural references to Puerto Rico. The performance featured surprise appearances by high-profile guests such as Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, and Pedro Pascal. The event also included a unique moment where a couple got married live on the field during the show.
This recognition demonstrated the broad appeal and influence of Bad Bunny’s artistry, extending beyond music into cultural representation on one of the world’s largest stages.
What This Could Mean for WWE and Fans
Logan Paul’s suggestion of a wrestling match against Bad Bunny has generated significant excitement among fans of both WWE and the artists themselves. Given both men’s wrestling credentials and public profiles, such a match could attract major attention and potentially become a landmark event in WWE history.
Should negotiations advance, fans may expect a highly choreographed, energetic showdown that merges celebrity entertainment with athletic spectacle. Both men’s strong followings and the ongoing narrative between them could fuel media coverage and boost WWE’s visibility.
