Santino Marella has officially entered the Bad Bunny conversation — and he’s inviting the global superstar to TNA.

After Logan Paul recently floated the idea of a match with the Grammy-winning superstar, the Director of Authority at TNA, Santino Marella, has publicly extended an invitation of his own. Speaking to Sportshadow on February 15, 2026, Marella was asked directly whether he would welcome Bad Bunny to TNA. His answer was immediate and enthusiastic.

“Yes, of course he can come to TNA. That would bring a lot of eyes to the company and the product.”

Marella framed the potential appearance as more than just a celebrity cameo. Marella made it clear that star power like Bad Bunny’s could help wrestling regain that mainstream appeal.

“You want wrestling to become mainstream again. You want it to be like when I was a kid—everybody knew Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Jimmy Hart, Roddy Piper. Every kid knew those guys. I don’t know if every kid in school knows our roster now, but I’d like to get to that level.”

The timing is interesting. Logan Paul recently said that a Bad Bunny match in WWE would be “the biggest wrestling match of all time,” calling it a “big money match” that would extend far beyond the WWE Universe.

Whether Bunny would entertain TNA interest is another question entirely. But Marella’s invitation makes it clear that if the door ever opens, TNA would be ready to walk through it.
