Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican rapper and global music sensation, has sparked excitement among fans by hinting at a return to the WWE ring. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, the 30-year-old artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, expressed his eagerness to take on new challenges in wrestling, even suggesting a possible shift away from his music career.
“I want to do it one more time,” Bad Bunny shared, referring to his desire to step back into the WWE ring. Reflecting on his previous wrestling experiences, he revealed a personal motivation behind his ambition. “I want to put my life at risk in the ring. I felt like I didn’t risk it enough, and I want to do it. I want to scare my mother,” he added with a playful yet determined tone.
Although Bunny didn’t specify a timeline for his return, he confirmed he has stayed connected with WWE. “I hope there’s a time when I am ready, like I did the last few times. And I’d love to take more time to get ready physically,” he explained.
In a surprising twist, the Grammy-winning artist hinted at a possible retirement from music to pursue wrestling full-time. “I’m going to quit everything and just do wrestling full time,” he said, describing how his sporadic WWE appearances as a celebrity left him wanting more.
Bunny also expressed his admiration for wrestling villains. “I’m going to go full-time and be a heel. That’s what I’d love. I was always a fan of the villains more than the good guys,” he revealed.
Bad Bunny made his WWE debut in February 2021, where he quickly won over wrestling fans by capturing the WWE 24/7 Championship. In 2023, he returned to the ring for WrestleMania 39 and WWE Backlash, earning victories in both events.
With his remarkable ability to blend his passion for music and wrestling, Bad Bunny’s potential comeback promises to be as electrifying as his previous appearances. Fans around the globe now eagerly await what’s next for this multi-talented performer as he flirts with the idea of trading the stage for the ring full-time.
