Rey Mysterio dropped a significant hint on the July 5 edition of AAA on Fox, suggesting that Bad Bunny could be headed to Lucha Libre AAA. During the broadcast, commentator JBL asked Mysterio — serving as AAA General Manager — whether the Grammy Award-winning artist and rapper could follow Damian Priest into the promotion. Mysterio’s response was pointed: he confirmed that bringing Bad Bunny in is something AAA is actively working on.
The tease carries some weight behind it. Bryan Alvarez has since vouched for the legitimacy of Mysterio’s comments, indicating there is genuine movement on the possibility rather than just an off-the-cuff remark.
Bad Bunny is no stranger to the wrestling world. He first stepped into the ring at WrestleMania 37, teaming with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz and John Morrison. He followed that up with a highly praised solo outing against Priest at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico, a match that earned a four-and-a-half-star rating from Dave Meltzer and further established him as one of the most credible celebrity performers the industry has ever seen.
More recently, Bad Bunny has been connected to a potential WWE return, with reports indicating he had discussed a match against Logan Paul — a bout Paul himself hyped on his Impaulsive podcast as potentially the greatest WWE match of all time.
Now, with Priest already working AAA dates and Mysterio openly teasing his former tag partner’s involvement, the pieces appear to be falling into place for another high-profile crossover. Whether those discussions translate into an actual appearance remains to be seen, but the momentum is clearly building.
