After Jelly Roll, another rapper wants to train for WWE
Following Jelly Roll’s success in WWE as a celebrity wrestler, rapper Lil Yachty now allegedly wants to train and wrestle.
Known for his long history with WWE, Lil Yachty was recently spotted on last week’s Friday Night SmackDown, when he formed a partnership with Trick Williams and is set to be there in his corner at WrestleMania 42.
Speaking to Rory & Mal, Williams revealed that Yachty is getting ready and training to wrestle, to grow beyond just being a manager.
“He understands the business. Talking about the similarities between hip-hop and WWE. How to promote, how to market yourself, how to make people feel something. I’m excited to see what Yachty can do in the business, so I think that’s gonna be pretty cool,” Williams said.
“He said he wants to feel the cables. He said he’s gonna get in tip top shape. We got him a trainer. We finna get Yachty right. Let’s talk about it.”
Trick Williams is set to challenge Sami Zayn at WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas for his United States Championship.
