NBA and WWE have shared a great association over the years. From Shaquille O’Neal to Lonzo Ball and Karl Malone, many Basketball stars have appeared on WWE tv in the past. Though all the appearances were mostly one-time or for a short run. However, Los Angeles Lakers Dwight Howard is looking at WWE as a legit career in the future.
Recently, the 6’10 Basketball star was seen making a surprise appearance at the WWE tryout before SummerSlam 2022. Howard also delivered an impressive promo during the event.
Later, he had a conversation with The Morning Column’s Arash Markazi where he talked about his tryout experience. He also shared his future plans regarding WWE.
Dwight Howard loves wrestling and joining WWE is certainly in his plans
While speaking to Markazi, Howard thanked WWE for providing him with an opportunity to be a part of the tryout. He then shared how the promo he delivered was spontaneous. The NBA also confessed his love of WWE and Wrestling and appeared serious about joining the company.
In fact, Dwight Howard desires to wrestle in the WWE ring one day. He wants to hold up a championship in the biggest pro wrestling in the world. Since Howard started his NBA career in Orlando, he seemed blessed if his WWE career kick-starts in the same city.
However, Howard added there is still a lot of Basketball left in him, and will surely be playing the next season. But, if things don’t pan out well, the current Lakers star is open to signing with WWE.

Well, the promo delivered by the NBA star seemed promising during the tryouts. Who knows, with Triple H leading the Creative Department, fans might see another Basketball player in WWE. Though this time, it could be on a full-time basis.
The eight-time NBA All-Star delivered an excellent promo during the tryout
Howard’s love for pro wrestling was pretty evident during the promo he delivered at a WWE tryout session in Nashville. The one-time NBA champion used his wrestling alias, Sho’nuff (the villain from the 1985 movie The Last Dragon) to showcase his mic skills. Everyone in attendance seemed impressed with the Lakers star and enjoyed his performance.
