Bryan Alvarez expects Bad Bunny to be back in WWE “sooner rather than later.”
Alvarez addressed Bad Bunny’s status with WWE on Friday’s edition of Wrestling Observer Live during a conversation with Lance Storm. He said that despite recent calls by U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego for AEW to sign the recording star, Bad Bunny will be back in WWE soon.
“He’s tweeting for Tony Khan to bring in Bad Bunny,” Alvarez said about Gallego on WOL.
Storm added, “And is apparently unaware that Bad Bunny has wrestled quite a bit.”
Alvarez responded, “Bad Bunny is going to end up back in WWE very soon. Sooner rather than later, everybody, just so you all know.”
Gallego’s comments followed Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite in Las Vegas, which featured an anti-ICE chant during the main event. Bad Bunny has spoken out against the U.S. government’s immigration enforcement agency, most recently on February 1 at the Grammy Awards.
“ICE out,” Bad Bunny said while accepting his award for best música urban performance. “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans.”
Friday’s edition of Wrestling Observer Live is free and available now. The below video is cued to Alvarez’s comments about Bad Bunny.
