It’s a way to go. Mainstream athletes have a long history in wrestling and that shouldn’t be a surprise. They are able to bring a different dimension into the wrestling world because fans will want to see what happens when those worlds collide. There have been some instances of stars from other sports coming into wrestling and having quite the success and that might be the case again soon.

This week on SmackDown, Happy Corbin was defeated by Madcap Moss in a Last Laugh match, seemingly ending their feud. Following their match, Corbin yelled at broadcaster Pat McAfee over jokes that McAfee had made at his expense. McAfee then led the fans in a chorus of laughter at Corbin, who walked away without getting physical. Corbin and McAfee have a history together, as they were roommates during their time in the NFL.

Opinion: I could go for more of this, as McAfee has a history of doing well when he gets in a WWE ring. He hasn’t had that many matches, but putting him in there against someone like Corbin, who he knows so well, could make for another good one. McAfee did well at WrestleMania 38 on the big stage, so maybe he can do it again on a slightly smaller stage, perhaps at Money In The Bank.

What do you think of the angle? Where do you see it going? Let us know in the comments below.
