An AEW wrestler recently revealed that if he had the chance to compete against a WWE superstar, he would pick Bad Bunny as his ideal opponent. Typically, dream matches between WWE and AEW stars happen only when wrestlers jump from one promotion to another. However, the concept of a “forbidden door” could change that by allowing talent from both rosters to face off.
In an Instagram clip shared by SiriusXM Sports, former AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy was asked about his preferred WWE adversary should the “forbidden door” open. Staying true to his quirky persona, Cassidy surprised fans by choosing 2026 Grammy Award-winning artist and part-time WWE competitor Bad Bunny instead of a regular WWE wrestler.
Cassidy commented, “If there was a forbidden door between WWE and AEW, I would probably want to have a match… I would love to get in there with Bad Bunny. Yeah, guess what? Bad Bunny is cool.”
Although WWE fans haven’t seen Bad Bunny wrestle since his acclaimed San Juan Street Fight against Damian Priest at Backlash 2023, AEW viewers will soon witness Orange Cassidy in action at AEW’s Grand Slam Australia event on February 14. In a high-stakes hair vs. hair tag match, Cassidy will team up with Toni Storm to face Yuta Wheeler and Marina Shafir. Prior to the event, Storm openly shared his nerves about performing in his home country.
Fan Take: This revelation from Orange Cassidy highlights the growing intrigue around cross-promotion matches, which could dramatically increase excitement and fan engagement for AEW. If the “forbidden door” concept ever comes to life, it could redefine wrestling storytelling, offering fresh and unexpected rivalries that energize the entire sport.
