Pro wrestling is red-hot right now, with people lining up to attend upcoming WWE events to see their favorite superstars in action. It’s not the only major organization seeing a surge in popularity as of late, however, as interest in the WNBA has surged this season thanks, in part, to the arrival of young superstar Caitlin Clark. The Indiana Fever guard has brought big crowds to her games all throughout college and the pros, and Bianca Belair had an idea for how the basketball player could bring even bigger crowds to the WWE.

Belair — whose latest tag-team title loss at Clash at the Castle can be streamed with a Peacock Premium subscription — spoke to ComicBook Nation shortly after it was announced that the WWE signed a massive partnership with the city of Indianapolis to host the 2025 Royal Rumble, a future SummerSlam and WrestleMania. Hometown heroes like NBA Pacers star and WWE superfan Tyrese Haliburton and commentator Pat McAfee are expected to be along for the ride. However, here’s what Belair had to say when asked if Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark would also be included in the mix

The Women’s Royal Rumble isn’t quite as old as the men’s event, but it has really put in the work to make it just as much of a must-see event. In fact, Cinema Blend wrote about how the 2024 Women’s match was one of the best yet, and what better way to chase that than by finding a way to put one of the most popular female athletes in the mix?

Caitlin Clark to participate in such a physical event as the Royal Rumble. The six-foot guard would stand tall against the women’s roster, but professional basketball players aren’t really built to take the types of bumps a football player would. I would wager the WNBA team would not want the first pick of this year’s draft getting locked into submissions or getting tossed from the ring.

The good news is there are plenty of other ways for Caitlin Clark to get involved with the WWE’s upcoming plans in Indianapolis, and I’m sure there’s no shortage of people behind the scenes of the wrestling organization trying to figure out how that can happen
