The WWE has always brought in celebrities in an attempt to bolster their viewership. Very few however, have made an impact like Latin American rapper Bad Bunny. The Grammy winner made his first WWE appearance at the 2021 Royal Rumble where he performed his song “Booker T” live. He was eventually inserted into a storyline with fellow Puerto Rican Damian Priest. The two then paired up for a match at WWE’s flagship pay per view WrestleMania 37.

Grammy Winner Bad Bunny could make WWE return next year to set up WrestleMania 39 storyline
According to former WWE writer Kazeen Famuyide, there is word going around that the WWE are planning a stadium show in Puerto Rico before WrestleMania 39. This event, most likely a pay per view, will be headlined by a tag team match pitting Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio against Rey Mysterio who will team up with, you guessed it, Bad Bunny.
This match will be the catalyst for a rivalry between the Rapper and his tag team partner’s son who will have a go at each other at the biggest show of the year. Famuyide also mentioned that the plans could change due to Rey Mysterio’s legitimate injury.
It is important to note that Triple H did mention in a press conference after Survivor Series that a show in Puerto Rico was an actual possibility.

Talking about the rapper’s first day of practice, Pearce said the following to Billboard:
“I think it was intimidating for him, like it would be for any new prospect walking into the WWE Performance Center. I saw him looking around and marveling at the pictures and ring, like ‘Man, this is real.’”
Pearce also revealed that he was interested to see how Bad Bunny would react to goofing up.
“When you take your first steps in any journey, you’re going to goof up. I wanted to look him in the eye and see how he was going to react to that. But he never quits. He always says, ‘Let’s do it again.’ He’s all in. You can’t teach that.”
