Whispers are circulating within the professional wrestling world, suggesting a potential return for the globally renowned music artist Bad Bunny to the WWE ring. Recent reports and social media activity have fueled this speculation, hinting at a high-profile tag team encounter that could see the "King of Latin Trap" back in action.
Earlier this week, it was reported that WWE is considering a potential tag team match featuring the current WWE Champion, John Cena, and Travis Scott. The initial theory posited that Cody Rhodes, given his storyline developments culminating at WrestleMania 41, would likely stand as one of their opponents.

This potential matchup immediately sparked considerable interest among fans, envisioning a unique blend of music and wrestling stardom colliding in the ring.
Adding further fuel to this speculation is a report from Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Meltzer stated, "There have already been reports of Scott & Cena doing a tag team match. The theory was that Bunny would be on the other side."
Meltzer noted that while Cody Rhodes is a strong babyface, his partner for this potential clash remains unconfirmed. However, the report mentioned that should the plan to include Bunny move forward, WWE would necessitate "a wrestler of the level of Cena on the face side" to ensure a balanced and compelling contest.

Adding an intriguing layer to these reports, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE's head of creative, took to the social media platform X earlier this month. His post served both as a congratulatory message to Bunny on releasing his latest album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," and as a significant foreshadowing of a potential WWE return.
Bunny's previous time with WWE have already established his genuine passion for the sport and his ability to deliver compelling in-ring performances. His WWE journey began in 2021, ending in his official in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37, where he teamed with Damian Priest. He even briefly held the WWE 24/7 Championship.
His participation in key matches at major events such as the 2022 Royal Rumble and the highly acclaimed San Juan Street Fight against Damian Priest at Backlash 2023 in his native Puerto Rico solidified his credibility as more than just a celebrity guest. Bunny has previously stated that he genuinely felt like a professional wrestler during his WWE stints.
