Speculation has emerged this week suggesting that Bad Bunny might make a return to the wrestling scene, sparked by public calls for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to sign a major international star. This discussion gained momentum following Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite episode in Las Vegas, which featured chants against ICE during the main event and highlighted Bad Bunny’s outspoken political activism.
The topic carried over into wrestling media on Friday’s Wrestling Observer Live, where Brian Alvarez brought up the possibility of Bad Bunny joining AEW during a chat with Lance Storm. Alvarez referenced U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego, who has been encouraging AEW president Tony Khan to recruit the music icon.
Alvarez openly described the situation, saying, “He’s tweeting Tony Khan to bring Bad Bunny.” Storm quickly pointed out a significant complication, noting, “And apparently you don’t realize that Bad Bunny has been in quite a bit of a fight.” This prompted Alvarez to clarify his prediction: “Bad Bunny will be returning to WWE soon. I want you all to know, sooner rather than later.”
The political context fueling this debate is rooted in Bad Bunny’s outspoken position against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Just days ago at the Grammy Awards, he took to the stage to deliver a message that rapidly gained traction across social media. While accepting his award for Best Music City, Bad Bunny stated, “Iced Out. We are not savages, animals, or aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”
