NBA Boston Celtics player Enes Kanter is focused on making the transition from basketball to the world of pro wrestling.
He doubled down on his desire to become a pro wrestler when he was recently interviewed by TMZ sports where he noted that he’s looking to wrestle in WWE once his days as a pro basketball player are over.
He was quoted by stating, “Full-time, I’m ready, I’m actually already talking to some people.”
Kanter brought up how he has a friendship with Paul Heyman and that he’s spoken with Triple H as well as WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon. He added that he plans to play 6 or 7 more years in the NBA then will go to WWE.
WWE had Kanter do a segment with R-Truth, who was the WWE 24/7 Champion at the time, back on September 9th in New York City, NY at Madison Square Garden.
Kanter briefly won the title when he beat R-Truth before airing a live episode of RAW. R-Truth would later reclaim the title.
