Report: WWE working on LaVar Ball appearance for RAW in Los Angeles
LaVar Ball has been in the main headlines of the sports world for months and months, and it only makes sense that he could end up in a WWE ring.
LaVar Ball has the personality of a WWE superstar at this point, but all he is trying to do is hype up his son Lonzo’s NBA career. Now, it looks like he could be taking his talents to the ring on a future episode of RAW.
According to a report from Pro Wrestling Sheet, Ball and WWE have been working to get the Big Baller Brand father on WWE television when they invade Los Angeles next week for RAW. It almost makes too much sense, with LaVar’s son Lonzo getting drafted to the Lakers, and making the media rounds for first pitches and other events in the area.
At around 1:10 in this video below of the Ball brothers on a livestream during the NBA Draft, you can hear “WWE” mentioned with LaVar talking, so it looks like he could’ve been discussing it that night as well.
LaVar has been on television plenty over the last few months, as he’s basically dominated ESPN airwaves on shows like First Take, The Herd, and seemingly endless other appearances. Some thought it may end when his son got drafted in the 2017 draft, but it all almost got worse when he guaranteed Lonzo would take the Lakers to the postseason in his first year with the team.

The move would definitely get the family and their Big Baller Brand apparel out in front of a new audience, and get some more eyes on WWE’s product, as their ratings continue to falter.
And who knows, maybe we can get Braun Strowman or The Big Show to take care of business and challenge LaVar to a match at the Staples Center.
