29-year-old star potentially set to make surprise WWE return at WrestleMania 39 - Reports

Recent reports have suggested that WWE may be looking to have top music star Bad Bunny get involved in some form of physicality at WrestleMania 39 next week.

After it was announced earlier this month that World Wrestling Entertainment will be hosting the Backlash Premium Live Event in Bunny's home country of Puerto Rico in May, fans began to speculate if the Grammy Award winner will once again compete in the ring.

According to a report from WrestleVotes via GiveMeSport, the rapper had a training session with Damian Priest and Jamie Noble earlier this month in LA to potentially get back into ring shape.

"On March 14, Bad Bunny, Damian Priest and Jamie Noble went to a training facility in Los Angeles to work things out. I can't confirm if its for WrestleMania or Backlash, but I think it's WrestleMania. There was a training session involving the three of them." H/T (GiveMeSport)
🚨 Bad Bunny took part in a training session on March 14 in Los Angeles with Damian Priest to prepare for some "physicality", @WrestleVotes tells @GiveMeSport. Unclear if for a match or not, but the belief is it's for #WrestleMania not Backlash on May 6.

Bad Bunny arguably gave the greatest and most unexpected celebrity performance in WWE history when he and Damian Priest defeated The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37 in 2021.
