Sexyy Red Turned Down a Full-Time WWE Role, Compares Wrestling To Rap
Sexyy Red had the opportunity to step inside the WWE ring as a full-time wrestler, but she ultimately had to turn the offer down. Dazed Digital reports that WWE offered Red a “permanent role as a wrestler,” but due to her busy schedule, she had to decline. It was noted that Red “couldn’t find the time to train properly, so settled for a cameo instead.”
Despite not making the jump to in-ring competition, Red has shown nothing but love for WWE. In 2024, she made several high-profile appearances for WWE, including hosting WWE NXT Battleground in June. The show saw the first-ever Women’s North American Champion be crowned in Kelani Jordan, a title Red revealed to the world. Speaking to Dazed Digital, Red shared a comparison between wrestling and rapping.
“Rapping and wrestling are pretty much the same. It’s not quite acting, but it’s kind of acting too, right? Because when we go home and take off all our jewels and gold and remove the costumes we wear, we then have to go right back to reality with our families.”
Sexyy Red may have passed on a full-time WWE career for now but other celebrities have seen immense success in the ring. Grammy Award-winning artist Bad Bunny has impressed fans in his matches with WWE while Logan Paul is a former United States Champion with several high-profile matches to his name.
Whether Sexyy Red appears for WWE again or not, her impact has already been established in the promotion. Stay tuned for SEScoops for the latest on Red’s role with WWE as well as other celebrities eager to get involved with the sports entertainment juggernaut.
