The 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony was expected to be a night of music and celebration, but it turned into a platform for a powerful statement when Latin trap sensation Bad Bunny took home the award for Best Latin Urban Album. Instead of the standard thank-you speech, Bad Bunny used his acceptance to address a pressing social issue, calling out the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their treatment of immigrants.
Bad Bunny’s impassioned speech has resonated not only with the music industry but also with the world of professional wrestling. Ringside News spoke with WWE insiders and several superstars to get their thoughts on the Grammy moment, and how it relates to the WWE universe.
A Call to Action
During his acceptance speech, Bad Bunny used his platform to bring attention to the plight of immigrants and the ICE’s role in their treatment. He called out the organization, stating that they are “more focused on deportation than on helping the people who need it the most.” The speech was met with a standing ovation from the audience, and it quickly went viral on social media.
WWE superstars have always used their platform to raise awareness about social issues, and Bad Bunny’s speech has sparked a conversation within the WWE locker room. According to a WWE insider, “The WWE has always been about using our platform to make a difference. Bad Bunny’s speech is a perfect example of that. It’s a call to action, and it’s something that we can all relate to.”
WWE Superstars Weigh In
Several WWE superstars have weighed in on Bad Bunny’s speech, with many expressing their support for the Latin star’s message.
“I think it’s amazing that Bad Bunny used his platform to bring attention to this issue,” said WWE Superstar, Becky Lynch. “As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I know how hard it can be to have your voice heard. Bad Bunny’s speech was a powerful reminder that our voices matter, and that we have the power to make a difference.”
WWE Superstar, Rey Mysterio, also expressed his support for Bad Bunny’s message. “As a Latino myself, I know how important it is to have a voice in the wrestling industry.

A WWE Connection

We’ve used our platform to raise awareness about social issues, and we’ve worked with organizations to support their causes. Bad Bunny’s speech is a perfect example of that.

The Power of Platform
Bad Bunny’s speech is a reminder that our platforms matter, and that we have the power to make a difference. As WWE superstars, we have a unique opportunity to use our platform to raise awareness about social issues and to support causes that we care about.
“It’s not just about being a wrestler,” said WWE Superstar, Sasha Banks. “It’s about being a voice for those who don’t have one. Bad Bunny’s speech was a reminder that we have a responsibility to use our platform to make a difference. I’m proud to see him using his voice to speak out against injustice.”
The Future of WWE
As the WWE continues to navigate the world of social justice and activism, it will be interesting to see how the company responds to Bad Bunny’s speech. Will we see more WWE superstars using their platform to raise awareness about social issues? Only time will tell.
One thing is for sure, however – Bad Bunny’s speech has sparked a conversation within the WWE locker room, and it’s a reminder that our platforms matter. We have the power to make a difference, and it’s up to us to use it.
