Bad Bunny Spotted Ringside at CMLL in Mexico City Wearing Mistico Mask

Bad Bunny may be one of WWE’s most memorable celebrity guests in recent years, but this week he was spotted enjoying Lucha Libre from the other side of the barricade.

The Grammy-winning music icon was in attendance for Tuesday night’s CMLL event at Arena Mexico, where he attempted to keep a low profile by wearing a Mistico mask—a tribute to one of the company’s most iconic stars. Sitting in the front row, masked and nearly unrecognizable, Bad Bunny quietly took in the action until his presence was confirmed by the promotion itself. CMLL acknowledged the global superstar in a post on Instagram, writing:

“The multi-award-winning Bad Bunny lived The World’s Greatest Wrestling up close, vibrating with every fall and every key… and rocking none less than the mask of the King of Silver and Gold, Mystical!” (translated)

While fans haven’t seen Bad Bunny on WWE television since his critically praised San Juan Street Fight against Damian Priest at Backlash 2023, his passion for pro wrestling is clearly alive and well. His appearance at a CMLL event—especially while donning the mask of Mistico—shows that his fandom goes far beyond WWE.

Interestingly, CMLL maintains a working relationship with AEW, not WWE, which adds a curious wrinkle to Bad Bunny’s latest wrestling sighting. Whether it was a simple fan visit or a hint of something more, his presence didn’t go unnoticed.

Could Bad Bunny eventually cross over into the AEW/CMLL universe—or was this just a one-night tribute to Lucha Libre culture? Let us know what you think in the comments.
