• Major Star Expected To Return To WWE “Very Soon”
Despite a public push from government officials to see him elsewhere, Bad Bunny is reportedly on the verge of making his way back to a WWE ring.
On Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez shut down rumors of the global superstar jumping ship, stating firmly that a WWE return is happening “very soon.”
The status of the multi-platinum artist became a hot topic after U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego took to social media to urge AEW President Tony Khan to bring the singer to All Elite Wrestling shows. This political nudge followed last week’s AEW Dynamite main event where the crowd broke into “f**k ICE” chants – a cause Bad Bunny championed just days earlier during his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards.
While the political sentiment in AEW might align with the artist’s recent “ICE out” comments, Alvarez and co-host Lance Storm noted that such a move ignores Bad Bunny’s deep-rooted loyalty and successful history with the TKO-owned giant.
From his breakout match at WrestleMania 37 to his show-stealing performance at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico, the artist has consistently been treated as a top-tier athlete rather than a typical celebrity guest.
Though he hasn’t been seen on WWE programming lately, the timing of this report suggests that the San Benito era is ready for a new chapter. With the Road to WrestleMania 42 in full swing, WWE fans can likely expect the Grammy winner to reappear on television in the coming weeks to set up his next high-profile appearance.
• Hall Of Famer Says Last WWE Run Felt Incomplete & Weird
During an interview with The Toronto Sun, Hall of Famer Lita talked about her 2023 WWE run, where she won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship with Becky Lynch and then competed in a 6-woman tag team match at WrestleMania 39.
This run ended on the April 10, 2023 episode of RAW. On that night, she was scheduled to defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles along with Becky against Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. However, Lita was attacked before the match and that was the end of her run.
Lita said this run felt incomplete and weird due to how it ended:
“I was really happy to have the singles match with Becky, and then to be able to get in there with Trish and Becky and go against Damage CTRL was pretty awesome. I feel very satisfied in that.
But it was a little weird the way it ended. You know, I had this really fun celebratory match at WrestleMania, and then the next thing I know they’re like, ‘Oh, by the way, you’re just going to be laying on the ground and we don’t need you anymore.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’
So it felt complete, and then it didn’t, you know… just the way things kind of ended.
Am I’m still satisfied with all I’ve accomplished, and even just the stuff I’ve been able to do post full-time run? Absolutely. But yeah, I wouldn’t rule it out if the right opportunity came, because I still feel really good and there’s so much talent out there. It’s always fun to mix it up with the current roster.”
