Whenever Dwight Howard calls it a career in the NBA, he may have his next big opportunity awaiting him in the wrestling ring. WWE executive Paul Levesque (better known by his ring name Triple H) was extremely impressed with Howard after the basketball star attended a company tryout in July.
In an interview with Sporting News, Levesque was sure to note that Howard would have to put the work in to become a WWE Superstar, but was very entertained by the former Lakers center at the Nashville tryout.
“The ball’s in his court,” Levesque said. “It’s a funny thing, Dwight, in the conversations we had was like, ‘You know, I really want to do this. I’m serious, I really want to do this.’ We hear that a lot, and there’s a difference between saying, ‘I want to do this,’ and putting in the grind and doing the work to get there.
