Professional basketball star Enes Kanter says he plans to accept an offer to wrestle for WWE when he retires from the NBA.
Kanter spoke with Shams Charania of Stadium on Wednesday and revealed he plans to become a WWE Superstar one day. The 6’11” is a huge pro wrestling fan, a certified Paul Heyman Guy and is a former WWE 24/7 Champion.
At 27 years old, Kanter is planning to play in the NBA for 6 or 7 more years before transitioning to the squared circle.
