- Cardi B has what it takes to succeed in the WWE.
- That's according to current superstar wrestler Alexa Bliss.
Rapper Cardi B would be "really good" in WWE according to superstar wrestler Alexa Bliss.
The musician, known for her smash hit singles "WAP," "Up," and "Bodak Yellow," is also a pro wrestling super fan and recently commented on Edge and Lita's mid-2000s relationship.
"They was such a sexy ass couple," Cardi B said earlier this month on Twitter, while calling the period Edge and Lita dominated WWE storylines "my WWE era."
Around the same time, Bliss name-dropped Cardi B as a celebrity who could transition her fame and personality into a superstar role in WWE.
Cardi B would be 'a really good superstar'
Verge Magazine asked Bliss, in light of WWE's recruitment of Logan Paul, which public figure could become a potential friend of hers in the market-leading pro wrestling firm.
"I feel like they have to have a big personality," Bliss said. "We've already had some stuff with Cardi B, but I think she would be a really good WWE Superstar."
WWE Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon would likely get behind the idea
For more than a decade, Stephanie McMahon — now co-CEO — invested in WWE's female superstars, who have headlined significant shows to propel Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Bianca Belair into the spotlight.
In 2018, McMahon said she would love to target Serena Williams as the company continued to revamp its women's roster with big-name signings following the acquisition of the former UFC champ Rousey the previous year.
Speaking to Insider in 2020, McMahon said if Williams — who is set to step away from competitive tennis next month — ever hung up her racket in favor of throwing an opponent over the top rope, she'd be an adept hero, or villain — or, as they're known in wrestling, a face or a heel.
"We'd have to talk to her about that and see what she's most comfortable being," McMahon laughed.
"I think whatever she was, she'd be formidable, that's for sure. It's funny, I said Serena, but I left out Venus. Venus is just as much a powerhouse."
McMahon then talked about numerous prominent athletes who could transition in WWE, and listed boxer Claressa Shields, soccer stars Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, downhill skier Lindsey Vonn, and WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins-Smith as examples of who she thinks could excel.
"If you're an athlete with a personality and can connect, you can be trained in WWE," McMahon told us at the time.
Perhaps the only thing holding Cardi B back is that she's not from an athletic background, but considering the impact she's made in music, she has an abundance of personality and could connect with the fandom.
