Canelo Álvarez Open to WWE Appearance: "We've Talked About It"
Undisputed super middleweight boxing champion Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez has hinted at a potential crossover to WWE, revealing that preliminary talks have already taken place. The Mexican star left fans buzzing with the possibility of stepping into the squared circle—not just the boxing ring.
"We've Talked About It," Says Canelo
During a recent media session ahead of his upcoming mega-fight, Canelo Álvarez was asked about the rumors linking him to WWE. His response was direct and exciting:
"Yes, we’ve talked about it. I might make a few appearances in WWE. We’ll see—maybe someday you’ll see me there."
Although there’s no confirmed date or specific plan yet, his statement confirms interest from both sides and adds fuel to the speculation.
All Eyes on Canelo vs. Crawford
Before any wrestling debut, Canelo has business to take care of inside the ring. On September 13, he’s set to face Terence Crawford in one of the biggest boxing events of the year.
- Canelo (61-2-2) remains the undisputed king of the 168-pound division.
- Crawford (40-0), coming off a dominant win over Errol Spence in 2023, will move up from 147 lbs to challenge the Mexican superstar.
The bout is promoted by TKO Group Holdings, the same company that owns WWE and UFC, setting the stage for potential cross-promotions between boxing and sports entertainment.

WWE Cameo Ahead?
Canelo’s WWE appearance could align with the promotional run for the Crawford fight. With TKO Group controlling all entities, it would be easy to integrate him into WWE programming—possibly appearing on RAW, SmackDown, or even a major Premium Live Event in the buildup to September.
Whether it’s a guest segment, a ringside appearance, or even throwing a punch in the squared circle, fans might not have to wait long to see Canelo bring his fighting spirit to WWE.
