Logan Paul has finally addressed the intense speculation regarding a potential showdown with global music icon Bad Bunny. The conversation surrounding this pairing has reached a fever pitch over the last several weeks.
Many have wondered if the two celebrity athletes will finally meet in the ring at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. This narrative gained significant traction after Cody Rhodes recently told TMZ that he wants to see the match take place on the grandest stage of them all.
During a new interview on his ImPaulsive podcast, Paul pulled back the curtain on his recent viral interactions regarding the singer. Earlier this month, Paul made headlines for a blunt "no" when asked if he was excited about the musician's Super Bowl halftime performance.

Paul has now admitted that his cold response was largely a "work" intended to plant seeds for a future rivalry, as the idea of a match between the two has been discussed internally.

“Let’s peel back the fng curtain. I’m going to stop fing around. Bad Bunny is a world-renowned superstar. He also can be a WWE superstar when he wants. He’s a good wrestler. He can f***ng wrestle. There have been talks about maybe us wrestling. It’s been floated around. I’ve been candid about the fact that I’d love to do it. I think it would be the greatest WWE match of all time. I really believe that,” Paul said.

The Maverick noted that whenever he is asked about the recording artist, the potential match is in the back of his mind. He explained that his dismissive one-word answer was a calculated move to get people talking. However, he also admitted there was a shred of truth to his lack of excitement for the halftime show itself, stating that as a 30-year-old man, he isn't particularly invested in musical performances during football games.
“In that regard, any time I’m asked about Bad Bunny, I think that in the back of my mind. To set that up, when I’m asked if I’m excited, saying ‘no,’ one word, now people are talking about it. However, there is truth to the fact that I’m a 30-year-old man. I’m not excited about any halftime show. I don’t care. I didn’t even really watch the game that much. I was ripping packs. I’d say 80-20. Yeah. 80 being work. 20% like, I don’t care if it’s Bad Bunny performing or someone else,” Paul added.
