After his basketball career is over, Dwight Howard might have a future in WWE.
The Los Angeles Lakers star unexpectedly attended today’s Nashville tryouts, and according to Arash Markazi, he is serious about joining WWE in the future.
Howard entered the stage to cut a promo as “Sho Nuff, the Shogun master of the South,” as seen in the video below. In his promo, Howard said that if someone attempted to grab “my belt,” he would only succeed in winning “Deez Nuts.” Given that Howard is 36, it is likely that we will see him in a WWE ring fairly soon.
Howard is still active in the NBA. There are reports that he may be leaving the Lakers and joining the Brooklyn Nets.
You can check out a few clips from his tryout below:
