TKO, which owns both Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) all under the same roof, just saw UFC Freedom 250 play out live on Paramount+ from the actual White House in Washington D.C. The event may not have produced Super Bowl numbers, but UFC’s White House card still drew 17 million viewers to Paramount+, which is a platform record for a live event.
It now appears another TKO holding is looking to test the waters on the White House lawn.
According to a report by Wrestle Votes (via Yahoo Sports), WWE is now discussing the idea of hosting a wrestling event at the White House. There’s very little information at this time, but the report suggests WWE officials were overly impressed with UFC’s Freedom 250 event and are serious about doing the same.
It’s unknown at this time what WWE would have to do to stage an event on the White House lawn, but they already have an in with President Donald Trump. Much like Trump’s past history with Dana White and UFC, POTUS has worked with WWE in the past. This includes Trump’s infamous “Loser shaves his head” match against former WWE CEO, Vince McMahon.
We’ll have to wait and see how serious this is, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see Trump welcome WWE with open arms. In fact, Trump already had plans to leave UFC’s “Claw” on the White House lawn for future use.
Hopefully not. Freedom 250 was absolutely perfect. Stop there.
Poor liberals, it’s been a real tough time for them lately.
they spent 7 Billion on that freaking lawn thats extinct now
Dumb…but the meltdown from the “IWC” would be epic. They’d expect all their favorite wrestlers to violate their contracts, and piss off their fickle bosses by refusing to go to work that day because of some fans politics.
It would be hilarious.
He’s a WWE hall of famer.
This would have made more sense than UFC for his birthday. He was a part of WWE.
Pro Wrestling on the South Lawn would look bush league as fuck after what just happened. Like “here’s a fake version of what we did last time.”
Pro wrestling is for retards and children, it will be a mistake if they do it.
Will never happen.
Doubtful.
90% of WWE’s roster is woke to the point where the bigger stars would threaten to quit and go to AEW if TKO tried to make them perform on the show.
Better option would be a marquee Zuffa boxing match, but considering UFC was too expensive to ever do again, sadly there’s no way to get a big name boxing fight @ the WH.
A portion of the roster, including a few “woke” ones were at Freedom250 at the Fanfest outside the event, and Roman Reigns was inside the event, and all already got shit for it, and moved on without issue.
Fuck this pretentious shit. It’s art like anything else…like a movie or a play.
And I’m not a pro wrestling fan but people hating on it always have seemed more douchy to me than people who like it
No, it’s stupid, over sexualized and homo erotic. It’s actually geared towards queer retards. I can’t believe anyone lets their kids watch it.
Because they are all faggots
