WrestleMania 41 Las Vegas — Apr 19-20 Celebrity Match

Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 41

Bad Bunny is the most credible celebrity WWE has ever worked with. Three WrestleMania appearances, an Intercontinental Championship moment, a legitimate tag team match — and now Las Vegas calls. Here is everything you need to know about his WM41 involvement.

Who is Bad Bunny?

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — stage name Bad Bunny — is a Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap artist. He is one of the most-streamed musicians on the planet, with multiple Grammy Awards and Billboard chart records. He is also, objectively, the best celebrity to ever participate in a WWE match.

Unlike most celebrity appearances, Bad Bunny actually trained for his WWE involvement. He worked with Adam Pearce and multiple trainers to become competent enough to have real matches — not just stumble through a segment. Fans respect him for that commitment.

Bad Bunny's WWE History

WM37 (2021)

Tag Team Match — WrestleMania 37

Bad Bunny teamed with Damian Priest against The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37 in Tampa. He performed multiple wrestling moves credibly — including a Canadian Destroyer — in a legitimately good match by celebrity standards. Got a genuine reaction from a real wrestling crowd.

2021 Run

Intercontinental Championship Moment

Before WM37, Bad Bunny was involved in an angle where The Miz and Morrison attacked him. He showed genuine fire in selling the heat and made the angle feel real — not like a PR appearance. WWE rarely gets that from celebrities.

Ongoing

WWE's Cultural Ambassador

Bad Bunny has remained connected to WWE since his initial run. His Puerto Rican fanbase overlaps significantly with WWE's Latin American audience — an important demographic. He performs at WWE events and his matches are used as premium draws.

What Could He Do at WM41?

Singles Match vs. Heel

The most likely scenario. A mid-card celebrity match against an established heel — someone like Dom Mysterio, Austin Theory, or a returning antagonist. Gets Bad Bunny's fanbase to order the PPV and fills a slot on the card.

Most Likely

Tag Match Reprise

Partner with a face (possibly Damian Priest again, or someone new) for a WM41 tag. Lower risk, guaranteed decent match if the partner carries some weight. WM37 proved this format works.

Possible

Performance Only

If WWE can't get a match deal done, Bad Bunny may perform his music at WM41 without competing. Las Vegas is his kind of venue. Not ideal for wrestling fans but still a high-profile moment.

Less Likely

Title Adjacent Angle

If WWE goes big, they could involve Bad Bunny in a title angle — not winning, but as a wildcard or interference factor in a major storyline. Rare but not impossible given his profile.

Why This Matters for WM41

WrestleMania celebrity matches are a WWE tradition — but most are forgettable. Bad Bunny is different. He brings a global fanbase that doesn't normally watch wrestling, he can actually perform in the ring, and he generates mainstream press coverage that no amount of advertising can replicate.

For Las Vegas, with the 2026 World Cup nearby and America's biggest sports city hosting, WWE needs its WM41 audience to be as large as possible. Bad Bunny crossing over to non-wrestling fans is a meaningful revenue driver — especially in a WrestleMania city like Las Vegas where everything sells out regardless.
