Los Angeles Lakers team governor Jeanie Buss appears to know a good wrestling heel when she sees one.<\/p>\n
Buss posted Sunday on X that the door is open for Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham to the Women of Wrestling promotion:<\/p>\n
That came after David McLane, who founded WOW, called Cunningham an “enforcer” on the court for Fever teammate Caitlin Clark and entertained the idea of putting her in a wrestling ring.<\/p>\n
“I flew to Las Vegas and watched them in action against the Aces, and I would love to have Sophie Cunningham in WOW, because she takes down the competition, and she makes sure that Caitlin Clark is safe on the basketball floor,” he said at a San Diego Comic Con panel, per the Mirror’s Alex West and Jeremy Goldstein<\/a>. “We’d love to have Sophie in WOW.”<\/p>\n Cunningham grabbed a lot of headlines after being ejected for a hard foul on the Connecticut Sun’s Jacy Sheldon late in a June game. Sheldon had been guarding Clark closely earlier in the game and there were some tense moments<\/a> between the two. Cunningham distributed what she deemed her own brand of justice<\/a>.<\/p>\n
