At the closing bell on Wednesday, WWE stock was at $39.79. That is up $0.01 (0.03%) from Tuesday’s closing price.
Rugby star Todd Clever recently spoke with CNN and said he was interested in a WWE career. Clever spent a week at the WWE Performance Center earlier this year and says he “felt at home” and has had discussions with WWE about a possible future with the company. He said,
“It was pretty much an intro. I had a tour of the facility, a meeting with some of the guys and they asked me: ‘Do you just wanna watch; how do you want to do this?’ I was keen to get stuck in. I flew across the country so I wanted to work out. I did some strength and conditioning sessions with one of the smaller groups of athletes and later that day I jumped in the ring. So I was in the ring for a few days and, doing some tumbling, some rolling, some wrestling. It was good,” Clever said. “For warm-ups there’s a big stretch, but you’re doing cartwheels and somersaults and while I was doing it I thought: ‘I wasn’t really expecting this.’ I don’t think I’ve done a somersault since I was five years old! It was interesting — they definitely weed out the athleticism in you. So I just got in amongst it and I surprisingly did a lot better than I thought I would.”
The Rock tweeted the following on Wednesday, noting that the deadline for his The Titan Games has been extended. The NBC series is scheduled to begin filming in September:
Hype is real. My show @nbctitangames is designed for EVERYONE. We’ve had more applicants than any other @NBC show in yrs. Where are my fellow people of color? My amputees? My badass women stepped up & came out en masse. Now it’s your turn: https://t.co/rY6AFS8oRp #TITANGames #NBC pic.twitter.com/26O1GwhO9Q
