Before she was successful in the wrestling ring, Lash Legend was a force to be reckoned with in the world of basketball, and opened up about who she might want to recruit from that world in the future.

Speaking during a recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast, Legend was asked which WNBA star she’d like to recruit to the world of WWE. Legend was quick to point to Teaira McCowan, a player currently playing for Fenerbahçe of the EuroLeague Women and Turkish Super League, and who previously played for the Dallas Wings from 2022-25.

“We played at Mississippi State, and she’s just a stallion, and I feel like everybody would be scared of her,” said Legend. “And she’s for real strong, she’s not no lanky center, she would come in here and really dominate.”

Prior to her time in WWE, Legend was an accomplished basketball player. She played college basketball at both Texas A&M and Mississippi State, the latter of which saw her earn first-team All-SEC honors. In 2019, Legend (real name Anriel Howard) was drafted 24th in the WNBA Draft, and played for the Seattle Storm briefly.

Now, she and Nia Jax reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
