Is Caitlin Clark the next WWE star?
WWE superstar Bianca Belair has extended a fascinating invitation to WNBA star Caitlin Clark, suggesting that she participate in the 2025 Royal Rumble event set to take place in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium.
This isn’t the first time Clark has caught the eye of high-profile personalities; her recent months have been filled with notable invitations, reflecting her rising celebrity status. Earlier, Ice Cube invited her to join his BIG3 basketball league, and she was also asked to appear on “Saturday Night Live” before the WNBA Draft.
Belair’s invitation, however, adds an intriguing twist to Clark’s growing list of cross-industry recognitions.
During an interview with Matthew Aguilar of ComicBook Nation, Belair expressed her admiration for the progress being made in women’s sports, particularly the WNBA, which she feels has been gaining well-deserved media attention and public recognition. “I love what’s happening with the WNBA. I love that women are getting more spotlight and more attention. We don’t need to do anything different. We just need the opportunities. We need the media coverage, and the WNBA is doing that,” Belair explained.
The WWE has been pioneering in promoting women athletes, with women headlining major events like WrestleMania and regularly featuring in main events on RAW and SmackDown, as well as Pay-Per-View events (PLEs). Belair sees Clark’s potential participation in the Royal Rumble as a perfect opportunity to merge the worlds of professional wrestling and professional basketball, thereby amplifying the impact and visibility of women in sports even further.

Belair’s enthusiasm for involving Clark in WWE events underscores a unique chance for crossover appeal and fan engagement. “So, Caitlin Clark, if you’re watching, come on, join — come in the Royal Rumble. You can be one of the 30 participants. That’s what’s exciting about the Royal Rumble. You never know what’s going to happen. It could be the past, present, future or just someone you don’t expect,” Belair added, highlighting the unpredictable and thrilling nature of the event.
The possibility of seeing Caitlin Clark step into a WWE ring in 2025 adds an exhilarating dimension to her already impressive career trajectory.
