Lakers Owner Makes Sophie Cunningham Wrestling Pitch Amid Caitlin Clark Enforcer Talk

The aftermath of all that has only increased Cunningham's notoriety. And her unofficial role as an enforcer for the Fever and Clark, and her general popularity, has now led to an actual pitch from the world of professional wrestling.

Jeannie Buss Wants Sophie Cunningham for Women of Wrestling

Cunningham's lack of hesitation in standing up for her teammates and her ability to stand on business, thrust her in the spotlight. The latest evidence coming in the form of an invitation from Women of Wrestling.

Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeannie Buss, who is a co-owner of WOW, took to X in order to recruit Cunningham. Buss posted, "We would love to have @SophieCunning5 join us at @wowsuperheroes she is talented, dedicated and a fierce competitor!!"

Buss actually tagged the wrong handle (Cunningham is @sophaller on X), which she corrected in a subsequent post. But all of the above was in response to an article from The Mirror, one that explained further the interest in seeing Sophie in the squared circle.

WOW's other co-owner David McClane was quoted saying this about Cunningham from San Diego Comic Con, “I'm from Indiana. I'm from Indianapolis, and that's the home of not only the second-best basketball team in the country this last year, but the biggest name in professional basketball today, Caitlin Clark. And Caitlin Clark has an enforcer. She's the Marty McSorley to Wayne Gretzky, and she is a stunning athlete."

“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. We’d love to have Sophie in WOW," he continued.

It remains to be seen if Cunningham has any interest in a foray into professional wrestling.

However, if she were to pursue it, she surely would receive a massive pop from the crowd. Because after all, Sophie may already have the slam of the Summer.
