Damien Priest Extends Open-Ended WWE Invitation to Bad Bunny’s Comeback

Another day, another backstage pass drama as Damien Priest just handed Bad Bunny an open invite to WWE whenever he’s ready. The former WWE Champion told TMZ Sports in New York City that the Puerto Rican superstar who took him down in the ring has nothing but a green light waiting for him if and when he decides to return. It’s been more than two years since Bad Bunny laced up wrestling boots for a pay-per-view performance, but Priest insists the door remains wide open.

Priest, who helped train Bad Bunny ahead of his 2023 debut, explained that making a comeback involves more than dusting off a microphone. “Whenever he’s ready,” Priest said, referencing both mental and physical prep. “That’s up to him as far as when he’s ready physically and mentally. Easy for me to say next week, but he has to be actually ready.” The wrestler’s laid-back delivery belies an appreciation for the hard work Bad Bunny invested to learn holds, spots and the choreography that makes WWE spectacles buzzworthy.

According to Priest, the one-time rapper-turned-wrestler would insist on proper training before stepping back in the squared circle. The former champion emphasized that Bad Bunny’s commitment to nailing fundamentals would set his comeback apart. “And I know the way he is, he’d want to do it properly and train properly,” Priest said, underlining that he’s on standby to coach or support him personally whenever that moment arrives.

While wrestling fans await word on a potential Bad Bunny return, the singer is currently headlining his own residency in Puerto Rico, which kicked off last Friday night. Priest didn’t miss a beat when asked if he’d be in the front row. “I plan to hit up the event this weekend,” he told TMZ Sports. “Looking forward to a good time.” So whether he’s swapping wrist tape for a mic or trading mosh pits for ringside rows, Bad Bunny has found an ally in Priest.

Priest also addressed the recent Seth Rollins injury sustained during his match with LA Knight. Though he and Rollins haven’t connected since the incident, Priest expressed confidence that the former world champion will bounce back. “We need you,” he said, offering a reminder of the tight-knit camaraderie that runs through WWE locker rooms.

For fans tracking crossover stars, Bad Bunny’s potential re-entry into WWE ranks as one of the most buzzed-about storylines of the year. With Damien Priest publicly vouching for him, the conversation has shifted from speculation to a near-certainty that fans will get another taste of unexpectedly charismatic ring action. Will Bad Bunny answer the call this fall? Keep an eye on Raw and SmackDown announcements, because when it comes to surprise guest appearances, WWE excels at keeping viewers hooked.

Catch you ringside when the next chapter drops. Until then, stay tuned and prepare for a potential reunion that could shake up the wrestling world once more. Anyway, that’s the scoop. Do with it what you will.
