WWE’s next crossover sports superstar could come from the world of soccer, as Adebayo Akinfenwa says he’s had “calls” with WWE and has declared himself for the draft.
The Wycombe Wanderers FC star spoke with TalkSPORT recently and said that he has spoken with the company a couple of times about working with them.

“I’ve had a couple of calls recently in regards to that,” he said. “I’ll be following up on that soon – so it could go up or down depending on the outcome of that. I can’t tell you a direct percentage in terms of that [coming to fruition], but it’s something I’m really passionate about, so watch this space, people.”
