Will Caitlin Clark step into a wrestling ring? After an invitation was extended out to her this week, we may confront this possibility soon.
World Wrestling Entertainment announced it will bring a host of its major events to Indianapolis, Indiana, this week. Lucas Oil Stadium will host the 2025 Royal Rumble in February. That event is just the beginning of a long-term deal between WWE and the city to hold events there in the foreseeable future.
Bianca Belair, one of the world’s best and most recognizable women’s wrestlers, spoke at the company’s press conference in Indianapolis this week. It was there that Belair opened the doors for the exciting Clark to make an appearance at the Rumble.
Belair spoke highly of the WNBA and what’s happening in the league. “Listen, I love what’s happening with the WNBA. I love that women are getting more spotlight and more attention. I’ve always said we don’t need to do anything different, we just need the opportunities, we need the media coverage, and the WNBA is doing that,” Belair said via ComicBook.com.
Belair compared the WNBA to WWE, where women have main-evented their weekly television shows frequently and their Premium Live Events, including WrestleMania. She then later extended an invite to Clark.
“It would be really cool for the two worlds to combine and have an even bigger impact for women. Caitlin Clark, if you’re watching, come on. Join, come to the Royal Rumble,” Belair said.
That would be a fascinating sight to behold if it were to occur. WWE has brought in big mainstream stars before and famous athletes, so never say never.
