Charlotte Flair attends NBA Playoffs with Alex Rodriguez
WWE wrestler Charlotte Flair was in attendance for Wednesday night’s Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Playoffs game alongside baseball legend Alex Rodriguez.
Sports reporter Arash Markazi posted video of Flair and Rodriguez from the Crypto,com Arena in Los Angeles at Wednesday night’s opening round Western Conference playoff game between the Lakers and Timberwolves.
In the videos, Flair and Rodriguez are shown interacting with former WWE wrestler Shane McMahon, Lakers general manager and president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka, and comedian Jeff Dye. Rodriguez once dated WWE Hall of Famer Torrie Wilson. Dye used to date WWE star Becky Lynch.
WWE recognizes Flair as a 14-time World Champion, and she is the only women’s wrestler to win the Royal Rumble match twice. She challenged Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas on April 19.
Rodriguez retired from MLB following the 2016 season. He has appeared on the baseball Hall of Fame ballot four times, but has not received enough votes to be inducted in large part due to his admission to using performance enhancing drugs during his career. Without the PED connection, “ARod” would be a slam dunk Hall of Famer as a 14-time All-Star, a three-time MVP, and with 696 career home runs, good for fifth place all-time in MLB history.
