Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show didn’t just light up the stadium—it sent shockwaves through the pro wrestling world, with wrestlers and wrestling personalities flooding social media in support as the performance unfolded.
While the show arrived amid loud political backlash and boycott calls earlier in the day, the response from wrestling figures told a very different story. As soon as the lights went down and the music hit, reactions began pouring in across Twitter, praising the energy, representation, and unapologetic tone of the performance. Bad Bunny’s longtime WWE ally Damian Priest was among the first to speak up, framing the moment as one of pride and positivity.
“So proud. Thank you @sanbenito. Siempre representando con orgullo y amor. Positivismo para el mundo. 🌎”
Samantha Irvin kept it simple but loud, echoing the excitement many fans were feeling in real time.
“BAAAAD BUNNAAAYYYYY”
Jade Cargill focused on the production itself, crediting the creative team behind the performance.
“Who ever produced this did an amazing job. My goodness.”
Corey Graves pushed back on criticism tied to language and culture, centering the reaction on star power.
“Talent is talent. Stars are stars. No matter the language.
This is fun.
#SuperBowl”
Lola Vice leaned fully into the cultural moment, celebrating Latino pride.
“PROUD LATINA BABY #BENITOBOWL”
Former WWE talent AJ Francis posted a short but pointed message centered on national pride.
“P FKN R 🇵🇷 #SuperBowl”
Independent wrestling personality Maya World embraced the controversy head-on with a defiant tone.
“make em mad Benitooooooo✨”
Kali Armstrong acknowledged the language barrier while emphasizing the broader message behind the performance.
“Bad Bunny!! That was amazing!! I didn’t understand the songs, but i understood the message! Love is stronger than hate! 💕 #BadBunny #SuperBowlHalftime”
La Leeona highlighted the visibility given to multiple Latino communities during the show.
“Thank You Bad Bunny for carrying our flags and mentioning us!!!
Latino representation 😭♥️🇸🇻 🇵🇷”
Earlier in the day, the Halftime Show had become a political lightning rod after boycott calls from figures outside wrestling. But once the performance began, the wrestling world’s reaction was overwhelmingly unified—celebrating culture, representation, and spectacle rather than controversy.
