Hold onto your seats, wrestling and music fans, because the saga of Bad Bunny’s future in the ring is about to take a wild turn! Despite recent calls for AEW to sign the chart-topping artist, industry insider Bryan Alvarez boldly predicts Bad Bunny will return to WWE sooner than you think. But here’s where it gets controversial: U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego has publicly urged AEW’s Tony Khan to bring Bad Bunny into the fold, seemingly unaware of the star’s already impressive wrestling resume. Is this a genuine oversight, or a strategic move to stir the pot? Alvarez, speaking on Wrestling Observer Live alongside Lance Storm, doubled down on his claim, stating, ‘Bad Bunny is going to end up back in WWE very soon. Sooner rather than later.’
This drama unfolded after AEW Dynamite’s Las Vegas event, where an anti-ICE chant during the main event echoed Bad Bunny’s own outspoken stance against U.S. immigration enforcement. At the Grammy Awards, the artist declared, ‘ICE out. We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.’ Gallego’s tweet, urging Khan to ‘solidify a huge fan base’ by signing Bad Bunny, has sparked debates across social media. But is AEW the right fit, or is WWE where Bad Bunny truly belongs?
Adding fuel to the fire, AEW’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman chimed in, subtly reminding fans of the promotion’s primetime slots on TBS, TNT, and HBOMAX. Meanwhile, Ian Carey, a seasoned wrestling writer from Toronto, continues to cover these developments, bringing his decade-and-a-half of industry insight to the table. As the wrestling world watches closely, one question remains: Where will Bad Bunny land next? And this is the part most people miss—could his political activism influence his choice of wrestling home? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—is WWE the obvious choice, or should AEW make a play for this crossover sensation?
