For all the Bad Bunny fans who were worried that the reggaetón rapper was switching careers from music to WWE, breathe a sigh of relief because he just announced El Último Tour del Mundo 2022.

Bad Bunny spent the weekend in Tampa, Florida at this year’s two-day WrestleMania and he had a little help from WWE wrestler Triple H who basically told Bad Bunny it’s time to get back to the music. We can’t thank you enough Triple H!

“You did amazing at Wrestlemania,” Triple H tells Bad Bunny in the tour’s announcement video. “But now, it’s time for you to do what you do.” The “Dákiti” rapper says thanks as he accepts the gift of a microphone in the shape of a skull and he jumps on top of his flatbed semi-truck, which he performed on top of in New York City last September as part of Uforia’s monthly music series.

The announcement clip says that tickets for the 2022 tour will go on sale Friday, April 16 at 12 p.m. and lists two Canadian dates for the tour: March 14, 2022, in Toronto, ON at the Scotiabank Arena and March 23, 2022, in Montreal, QC at the Bell Center.

The announcement comes after Bad Bunny’s impressive WWE debut with a tag-team match. The “Amorfoda” rapper has made appearances in and around the WWE ring before but never inside the ring.  

The Puerto Rican rapper and his tag team partner Damian Priest faced off against John Morrison and The Miz. Bad Bunny hit Morrison with the “Bunny Destroyer” and honestly, we are all very impressed with his wrestling skills. 

Bad Bunny and Priest won the match and while the WWE is teasing that the rapper is done for now.... his tour doesn't start until February 2022, so there could still be more time for him to put in work in the ring before hitting the road. He also rented a house in Orlando earlier this year to focus on WWE training.

Bad Bunny has earned praise from many WWE superstars and fans, including Triple H and The Miz.

In an interview with Uproxx, prior to the WrestleMania match against the rapper, The Miz said, “He loves WWE. He’s a huge, huge fan and he wanted to train. So I guess he’s been training the past couple of months and from what I’ve heard in the locker room, I don’t think any other celebrity has done the work he is doing. He literally came to a WWE ring and trained after winning a Grammy. He went to the Grammys, did a performance and then came to WWE ring the next day to train. This guy is dedicated and he’s hardworking.”

“@sanbenito’s performance at #WrestleMania was simply … awesome. His months of incredibly hard work and grind in preparation for his performance showed his respect and dedication to @WWE and to our fans. He has truly earned all of our #Respect," Triple H tweeted.
