In 2013, Tim Tebow’s NFL career faced uncertainty after being cut by the New England Patriots during the preseason.
However, WWE saw an opportunity to involve the college football legend. WWE president Nick Khan, who was an agent at the time, revealed on the Pat McAfee Show that WWE executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque reached out to Tebow for a potential match against The Big Show at WrestleMania.
A secret meeting was arranged with Tebow, Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Khan in Anaheim, California, to explore the possibility.
“I called Tim at the time, what do you think Tim,” Khan said. “And I had then, a top secret private meeting. Tim Tebow, myself, Vince McMahon and Triple H in Anaheim, California about that. Ultimately, it didn’t happen…”

Unfortunately, an agreement couldn’t be reached, and Tebow pursued other endeavors, including a stint in baseball. Despite his athleticism and charisma, the WWE collaboration didn’t materialize for Tebow.
Tebow mania was such a phenomenon; no doubt he would have found great success on the wrestling mat.
