Olympic Gold Medalist Says She Wants To Join WWE, Triple H Comments

As noted, after her victory at the Tokyo Olympics this week, Olympic gold medalist wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock said that she is interested in joining WWE. She became the first American Black woman to win wrestling gold by winning the 68-kilogram freestyle final, 4-1, over Blessing Oborududu from Nigeria. She spoke with Matt Iseman and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila from Peacock and was asked about joining, as they felt she could do well. She excitedly said that she wanted to. WWE executive Triple H has since responded to those comments.

WWE promoted the clip on Twitter and asked: “Could Mensah-Stock follow in the footsteps of fellow Olympians such as Kurt Angle, Chad Gable and Ronda Rousey to turn international glory into WWE Superstardom?”

Triple H later added in response to the Olympic gold medalist’s recent comments: “Congratulations on a history-making gold medal at the #TokyoOlympics! The door to @WWE is always open!! #TeamUSA @MensahTamStock”
