Following Bad Bunny’s impressive performance at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes has expressed his desire to see the Puerto Rican musician face Logan Paul inside the wrestling ring. The Super Bowl event took place on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where Benito’s halftime show received widespread acclaim. Rhodes highlighted the success of the event and suggested that Bad Bunny could capitalize on this moment by returning to WWE competition.
Rhodes Praises Bad Bunny’s Halftime Performance and Hints at In-Ring Return
Rhodes, who teamed up with John Cena last year against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul, praised Bad Bunny’s halftime act as one of the best of all time. Speaking to TMZ, Rhodes said,
“Oh, he killed it. So good.”
While Rhodes acknowledged that the Grammy award winner is currently busy with his music career, he hopes to see him back in WWE soon. Bad Bunny, also known as Benito, last wrestled in 2023 but could return given his recent profile boost.
Reflecting on the halftime show’s quality, Rhodes stated,
“I hope we get him back. He did a wonderful job, but he’s on top of the world right now. That show is an all-timer. Prince might still be my favorite, but that’s an all-timer.”
Potential Opponent Speculation and Logan Paul’s Support for Bad Bunny
When asked about a possible opponent for Bad Bunny in WWE, Rhodes playfully suggested, “Good one. Maybe Logan?” This carries added intrigue as Logan Paul himself has publicly supported Bad Bunny’s performance. After Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, criticized Bad Bunny for his halftime show, Logan responded by defending the artist and Puerto Rican community.
Jake Paul criticized the halftime performance in a tweet, stating,
“Purposefully turning off the Halftime Show. Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences (which equals viewership for them). You are their benefit. Realize you have power. Turn off this Halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.”
Logan Paul replied to his brother’s tweet with,
“I love my brother, but I don’t agree with this. Puerto Ricans are Americans, and I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”
Implications for WWE and Entertainment Industry Crossovers
Cody Rhodes’ suggestion of a Bad Bunny versus Logan Paul WWE match taps into the growing trend of celebrities crossing into professional wrestling, boosting viewership and fan engagement. Considering Logan Paul’s expanding ties to WWE and Bad Bunny’s rising entertainment profile following the Super Bowl, a match between these two could generate significant excitement. With Logan defending Bad Bunny against criticism and Rhodes publicly endorsing such a matchup, WWE fans may soon witness a new high-profile contest blending music, sports, and wrestling entertainment.
