Rhodes proposes Logan Paul vs. Bad Bunny clash

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Rhodes made clear he would welcome Bad Bunny back to the company after the artist’s widely discussed Super Bowl halftime performance.

He described the show as an “all-timer” and acknowledged the global spotlight it generated.

“I hope we get him back. He did a wonderful job, but he’s on top of the world right now.”

Rhodes then pointed to Logan Paul as an ideal opponent, noting Paul’s steady rise as an in-ring performer since debuting in WWE in 2021.

The concept of pitting two mainstream names against each other would fit the spectacle-driven identity of WrestleMania.

Super Bowl moment adds fuel to speculation

Interest intensified when Logan Paul was asked whether he intended to watch Bad Bunny’s halftime show and responded with a blunt “No.”

The brief answer quickly circulated online, adding a layer of intrigue to the idea of a future encounter.

Bad Bunny has previously proven his commitment inside the squared circle, while Paul has evolved into one of WWE’s most reliable celebrity attractions.

With WrestleMania 42 set for Las Vegas, Rhodes’ pitch highlights how seamlessly pop culture moments can evolve into potential storylines.
