Earlier this year, WWE president Nick Khan expressed his desire to bring contemporary artists like Bad Bunny and Cardi B to WWE. This was part of WWE’s agenda to entice a younger audience to their product.

WWE has already had Grammy winner Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37. Bunny, a lifelong WWE fan, emerged victorious when he teamed up with Damian Priest and took down The Miz and John Morrison.

Recently, there have been rumors of fellow Grammy winner Cardi B coming to WWE. The company has already announced the return of live events, starting with the SummerSlam 2021 go-home edition of SmackDown.
